So fucking pissed with today's result, but it is what it is. Got to just tip your hat off to Chelsea there, well done. United played extremely well they just couldn't make any definitive plays in the final 1/3rd. Chelsea just is really good at what they do. And the counter of course is simply deadly.
I'm very surprised that Blackett was brought on for Shaw. First off, Blackett is a central defender, not a back. Second, he hasn't featured in a long while, and for a young player coming on late in a big game, that is EXTREMELY tough. At least McNair had the opportunity to get his feet underneath him by starting and Im sure training with the first squad leading up to the game. Lastly, he was fucking terrible, constantly running over AdM, not knowing wtf to do with the ball, or where to run or simply what to do. I know it sounds like knit picking maybe - but there was a point if not the game still out there to be taken, and that substitution was piss poor. I understand wanting to save Shaw as he hasn't played in a long while, but why not bring on Rafael there, such a natural sub. He's played plenty in big matches and offers a shit load more than Blackett. Kinda pissed about that deal, it's very frustrating to lose 0-1's.
Juventus has just about clinched Serie A today too with a clinical effort vs. Lazio. Bonucci's goal was great, I got a good laugh over how the seas parted for him there.
grrrr
now probably gonna lose some money late this afternoon leading into watching my Rangers in a bit.
