He's had Tevez number, when it's come down to the sprints.

If I remember rightly...he did when we played them last season.

Richards is fantastic. Chelsea should be paying big money for him instead of Alves.

Indeed, he's fit Chelsea's play better, very solid and fast and he's playing centre back today !

He doesn't have a fault. He's unbelievably quick...very energetic...great defensively and attack wise...Beats his man.

We have the future England RB place sorted

He hasn't got much football ability though, why he does so well at centre back.

How the f@ck are we losing
what the hell is going on this season, playing some slick football controlling the whole match and failing to score and somehow losing.

Tevez so far i don't like.

What difference will that make? we will be looking to win no matter what United do

Oh it was class when Scholes gave Nani a ticking off in the early stages of the game.

If you are playing the formation Batman posted...it's no surprise.

TM wrote:Oh it was class when Scholes gave Nani a ticking off in the early stages of the game.

Tevez did also, even though his failure to move was why Nani lost the ball. Nani and scholes been the best players imo

What a fluky deflection. Also i think Man Utd should've had a penalty when Corluka fouled Evra. Man City have looked comfortable since the goal though, Man U look really flat.

The only thing we are not doing is getting enough support to Tevez.

How long until Saha is back?

Kimbo wrote:Man U look really flat.

Flat enough to have 70% possession and create all the chances?

You've got to take your chances

At time's he's trying the back heel too many times, only came off once. Also he goes wide when he should be attacking the full back ala CR.

Tevez doesn't seem to have much luck at the moment.

Arsenal team to face Blackburn Rovers:

---------------- Lehmann

-- Sagna -- Toure -- Gallas -- Clichy

It's because Liverpool are $h!t Luis...

No, seriously...how fired up will Chelsea be if Man Utd lose? Ok...they will be fired up to win anyway. But knowing they can take a 7 point advantage would fire them up even more.

United have been very unlucky so far . They were clearly the better team in the 1st half, created some good chances but couldn't take them, and city scored from probably their 1st shot on target.

Richards looks like a world class CB in the making.

Not bad, pretty attacking and should be good to see some of Eduardo on MOTDII tonight

what about us? we aren't settling for 3rd or 4th this season, well we shouldn't be? this is an oppurtunity to gain 3 points off chelsea plus go a few more points ahead of united should they fail to win at City

Why didn't you quote this bit aswell?

Since the goal parky Man City have dominated possesion.

A bit surprised that we are playing Eduardo over Bendtner, but otherwise as expected. It will be interesting to see how Eduardo gets on.

I'm actually looking forward to the game. I just think Chelsea will beat you. Sure...you'll see it as a chance to keep up with the title race and take an advantage on Man Utd.

Looking forward to seeing him play in his 1st premiership start, hope he scores.

Amazing scoreline.

Sven's carm approach deffinitely is helping Richards. He covered both Tevez and Nani well when needed. Hargreaves first half was solid and Scholes is playing great also. Gio's goal was super lucky a Lampard special, but thats footy for you and Man U really only had one clear cut change themselves in the first half...

So, Geovanni scoring against MU. Where did I see this before?

Vidic hits the crossbar!

Man Utd hit the bar through Vidic.

Thought Scholes would score that volley, he is an expert at those shots.
