Chelsea 2 Manchester United 1

You get what you deserved.

You came looking not too lose and such negative strategy never works!

It has happened many times before and it would continue to happen!

Manchester United lost their three points lead over Chelsea in the premiership when they lost 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United used the same tactics as they had in Nou Camp, playing not to lose. And the end result was again disappointing, although it must be said that there were several twists in yesterday match.

Manchester United had always been a team built to play attractive, attacking football. Sitting back and defend is never their bread and butter. Such negative tactics had brought poor results and last night was no exception.

Chelsea played quick, direct decisive, attacking football and they totally dominated the first half and truly deserved their lead. Being down 1-0 at the half, was rather fortunate in my opinion.

In the second half, Sir Alex finally changed the tactics. And the end result was all to see. Playing a more attacking game, the score for the second half was 1-1.

Ok, the penalty decision was ludicrous but for me, United played the folly for their negative tactics in the first half.

End of story.

And worse of all, Chelsea wasn't all that good last night. If not for Michael Essien and Michael Ballack, Chelsea was simply ordinary and in my opinion, they could be beaten if only United had tried.

Tuesday looks too near.

Would Sir Alex Ferguson realised that United cannot sit back and defend on big matches? Why can't United play to their strongest form, which is to attack, attack and attack?

United has 3 matches left to correct their season and they have to win all of them. No buts.

Sigh!
