A poor-quality game yesterday. Both sides played with the handbrakes on(understandably so). Chelsea played like a team getting used to new tactics, new team dynamics while United played as wont in the big games, a selection that is safe and looking not to lose. Our players had moments to change the game but over-eagerness, the away factor and just lack of quality led to attacks breaking down. Tominay, Fernades and James were standouts culprits. James reminds me of Malouda, in his safety first approach to the game, he runs around a lot, but doesn't have the quality to effect things. The expression 'busy doing nothing ' should be his middle name.
Finally, Its time to sell Martial. Had high hopes for this lazy cant but short of an electric shock before each game, he just doesn't seem interested. Would rather go to the citizens next and give them a game than play this way again. We are not winning the title.
Ps; stone wall penalty

You could have said that about any match under Mourinho. Face it, you play no differently.

Come on that penalty would have been a joke.

Yes. Malouda was a coward with and without the ball. Just ran about. Carried by the genius of Zidane, Henry n anelka etc

I thought James was ok yesterday. Gave them quite a lot of grief at times.

What a strange viewpoint of a player. Malouda was a class player. And nothing like Dan James or Reece James. I don’t even know who out of the two you are comparing him to, he is so far away from either in terms of style and play.
Malouda wasn’t the quickest but was skill full with good technique. Dan James is a headless chicken

Malouda was useless. Was always happy to see him in your lineup whenever we played yours.
Was talking about Dan James. He is our version of Malouda, runs about a lot without getting stuck in
