It took him a lifetime to play with Anelka so i wouldn't be surprised.
Combine that with Torres inability to pass to anyone and you have a disaster.

The stats suggest that Chelsea beat us only in shots on target, everything else we dominated them in. So whilst you missed part of the first half by your own admission, your comment about Chelsea being the better team are by enlarge factually incorrect.
All well and good by someone who supports Leeds or ABU rather than MANYOO

I actually think Huddlestone could be good for Chelsea. Obviously I don't want to see him go, but I see him as someone who could slot into the middle and spray it across the park.

Since it's Spurs/Levy, it'd be more like £120 million... even José came out against Tottenham's asking prices this morning.
Agree with this although I felt Chelsea were somewhat threatening in places and Torres deserved the card.

Ah, the glory days.
I'd be very surprised if that was the case for 2nd half possession, and for overall possession the bits of the first half I didnt see must've been very one-sided.
Not really relevant Gilly, when we had posession we were slow and cumbersome and ceded posession all too easily, a stark contrast to Uniteds pacey counterattacks.
1st half was pretty one sided for Utd, surprisingly so infact, apart from a few minutes at the beginning and 45 min mark

I wish Michael Carrick could play every game like he did tonight, that's his best game in a long time.

(in all seriousness) what asking prices were they?
Come off it Loki.
It was ALL Chelsea second half, they were all over United for large parts of the second half, United edged it in the first. Great goal and unlike Chelsea looked lethal at times going forward (broke with pace a few times ect ect)

To be honest, Chelsea looked very ordinary tonight. Lampard offered nothing and Essien is nowhere near the player he was 2 years ago. Chelsea had a much better chance of getting back in the game if they kept Drogba on. The touch he had for that shot in goal in the first half was sublime (Typical Drogba) and Torres is nowhere near that level of form at the moment. Whilst our tactics were bob on tonight, I thought Chelsea pretty much played into our hands. He really should have finished the game with Drogba and Anelka.

Mourinho didn't reference any in particular, although a certain Bulgarian springs to mind at the moment...
totally agree
Utd were in general quicker to any ball, but Chelsea were better for the most part with their one touch passing
Park and Evra spent a lot of time on the floor, and VDS' booking was beyond stupid from refs point of view
berbatov looks like a fair price for £30m bare in mind that this was 3 years ago this august so had just entered his prime and the fact andy carroll went for £5m more!
