Yeh Cech has kept them in it.. Is it just me or does Makelele look just off the pace in front of the back four? Getting overrun at the moment. I can never understand why they put Essien at right back, such a waste, he's a powerhouse..

..and Lampard comes through for Chelsea once again

Chelsea are lucky to have a draw, they should be down two or three goals. Until Lampard scored, he was invisible once again and Chelsea's defense looked porous at best. ManU just needs to continue to attack on the wings because Essien is not a wing back and Ashley Cole isn't a hundred percent with his injury. I think they should bring in Nani or Anderson who are better offensively than Hargreaves.

Wow. ****ing lucky.

No way should Hargreaves be taken off, he's playing well, and so are United, maybe take off Carrick for Nani, but keep Ronaldo on Essien, he is ripping him apart.

Hargreaves is playing well defensively, but that's not really necessary because Chelsea is not attacking on the wings that much. What they need is someone who is adapt to one on one situations on the wing, Hargreaves is at this best as a central mid. Either take him out or Carrick and move Hargreaves to the middle, but they need someone who can complement Ronaldo. Hargreaves has had a lot of space, he just isn't a wing to capitalize on those opportunities.

Ballack is the only midfielder doing anything for Chelsea, J. Cole especially has done sweet **** all.

If I was Grant i'd take Makelele off, put Essien next to Ballack in midfield, push Lampard up into the hole behind Drogba and put whoever at right back, Belletti maybe.

**Basel57** · 05-21-2008, 01:58 PM

Damn...Essien had a great opportunity there...

Chelsea look a lot more urgent so far in the second half, Ballack must have given a good half time talk..

Extra time.. Chelsea looked the better side in the 2nd half, Man U look frustrated that they haven't won by divine right yet
