The FA CUP Sixth Round - 9/10 March *** Spoilers ***

Someone go over to Nani and give him a proper injury for that.

Stoke dominate possession? God you're clueless

In the area around their own 18 yard box to then lump it forward... Pretty much all United have done this half, other than the odd bit of falling over.
 
Welbeck has had some nice touches, but ultimately done nothing in this game again. He powered past a couple tackles, fine, but then his touch to take it around Ivanovic, a better player would have given Ivanovic no chance, it was a very poor touch, when at full speed he can't keep the ball at his feet like a Henry/Messi could, so he punts it long, bit like Valencia, and runs after it. The good bits are a few turns away from danger and made the right pass, but then his movement in getting into the box after those moments has been poor, and doesn't look remotely threatening as per usual.

Most players will get a few good touches, but as per usual he's done naff all in the final third, which is his problem and always has been. Breaking down the wing with Valencia's punt and run tactic has always worked for Welbeck, but he's never done anything after that, and thats still the case in this game.

He has looked improved in this game, but thats largely by having Valencia and Nani on the pitch, he just looks better by comparison :p

Utd though, seem to break every winger that joins them at the moment, and are playing some god awful football, they were just abysmal to watch against Sunderland, but then its partly whats happened this season. Usually going for the title there is more pressure and more to play for at this stage of the season. Swansea won their cup and now have exactly nothing to play for this season, few places higher is a mil or two, insignificant compared to tv money and not a big deal. They won't go down, they won't get much higher, they've been WAY below par since the cup win. West Brom seem to have given up as well, and Utd have such a stonking lead they've given up trying also. :(

Disappointed with Chelsea so far. You would think they would look at United lineup and take a bit of confidence... But they have looked very sluggish so far. Hazard the only one who looks bright.
