Manchester United 3 - 0 Chelsea

Rooney scoring United's second goal

Just finished watching the match between Manchester United and Chelsea where the red devils came out tops by not only 1 or 2, but 3 goals margin. I would say this is a very disappointing display from Chelsea losing out to their closest rivals in the manner which they did. The opening half was pretty even but then the second half was a terrible display which saw Manchester United dominate the game. After going a goal down just before half time, the squad had no urgency, no passion, no fighting spirit and were outplayed by Man U. If thats not worst enough, next on the list will be table topping Liverpool at Anfield and I could only hope Chelsea raise their game.

Can Chelsea stop Liverpool and the dynamic duo of Torres and Gerrard?

Here is my take on the current squad and situation. First of all, the big problem lies with Phil Scolari, the current manager of Chelsea and the way he managers the team. His tactics are somewhat ineffective on the pitch which shows why Chelsea are doing poorly now. Secondly, his squad selection is also one to be criticized as he keeps playing the lackluster Deco. In fact, the season that began promisingly could turn into a disappointing one. With the form and the way the team is playing currently, I don't see any trophies being won come end of the season.

Luiz Felipe Scolari needs to rally the troops now

I think now is a great time for reinforcement in the squad as the January transfer window opens. Because of the aging squad, Chelsea needs young, fresh, hungry lads to push the team. A few winger and midfielder would do the trick. Besides, Chelsea needs to work harder on the pitch and not be a bunch of prima donnas playing beautiful football whereas they can't even get the results. Where is the winning mentality lads? where is the passion? Run! Get down, get rough!!! Work your socks off!!! damn!!! I just can't stand watching how Chelsea are playing now.

Will the season end in disappointment and tears again?

Finally, I hope the squad will improve or else please put the axe on Phil Scolari. May the "special one" please stand up? I sure hope Jose Mourinho will return to manage the club again someday and bring Chelsea back to its glory days.
