I'm loving Berba more and more now, I really think he'll be the key link man this season. His touch and vision is one of the best in the squad and it seems he start to adapt to our system now. It just makes me drool.gif pondering what's in store for him this coming season!

I don't understand why some of you make a mockery of this chinese club though they suffered a big humiliation defeat. Bear in mind that they are Manchester United, not some pariah team.

If so, shouldn't our Malaysian team of 8 years ago which suffered 6-0 defeat another laughing stock? But I don't see much people saying much that time since it involve our own team.

I am so noob with finding kick off time in local time laugh.gif Taiko alien can help to list out the kickoff time? Last time when we played against Valencia in friendly match, CR scored from FK that left Canizares planning for early retirement sad.gif

I hate Ben Foster all this time. See when MU vs Malaysia.. can even been chipped a simple goal. Damn.. We need VDS back in the goal post.

what game were you watching? It was VDS that got chipped, so should we see him?

QUOTE(GIGGS_11 @ Aug 10 2009, 12:25 AM)
Damn! something is wrong today... Giggs had shoot most of his penalties to the goalkeeper's left without fail this few years. Today shooting to the middle? Fong shui I guess tongue.gif
Anyhow, the team is still look promising enough to do it 4 time in a row... let's kick off the BPL next week rclxms.gif

yup, it's been keeper's left all the time. Can see Lampard? whispering to Cech before Giggs kick. Hence hee was diving to the left as well

I don't understand the anxiousness just because we lost the Charity Shield. Heck, this is even more worthless that the Mickey Mouse Cup aka League Cup. Everyone is like saying dooms day, especially now we lost Ronaldo and Tevez. We are still in the transitional period currently.

We showed we are able to cope with Che even after the loss of 2 important players. But we still having the 2nd half syndrome where we seem to switch off slightly. The first half was delightful to watch though so the signs are there.

i think fletcher did a great job in midfield as well..i mean coming from a darren fletcher,it was a good performance!

he's slowly becoming an integral part of the squad. The link up play between Berba and Rooney still not that fluent, but Berba is starting to show his strut more and more. He may lack in speed but he still manage to get past players and hold the ball. It could have been a brilliant shot had the defenders didn't block his chip and volley shot, it packs so much venom in it.

The key is to improve Rooney and Berba chemistry, then we'll be more dangerous. Valencia was slightly disappointing after his brilliant games against Boca and Valencia. It seems he has the same weakness as the old Ronaldo, Ashley Cole or maybe perhaps he was under too much pressure from his first competitive games.

Nani was a delight to watch, guess SAF manage to put some sense in him after last season performance. He ain't the Nani of last season, track back more often, didn't hold the ball that long, didn't try much fancy footwork. Fletcher did his solid dirty work and manage to roam into space a couple of times. Evra was good as usual (besides the penalty, heck that's why he's a defender in the first place)

I was thinking Kuszczak should be given the chance after his performance against Valencia. But I think SAF see Foster more for future hence he started. Decision making still not that good yet and easily flustered when he needs to clear under pressure. Good left leg and throw, reaction not bad as well. Hopefully he'll improve given more game this season, I still have faith in him.

Portugal midfielder Nani impressed, but Ferguson revealed he could now be set for a spell on the sidelines.

"We could not put the shoulder back in, so that is the worrying part for us," said Ferguson, who has had to reshape his attack following the summer departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.


"He had done very well, and we are very pleased with his performance."

United goalkeeper Foster, 26, was standing in for injured Edwin van der Sar, but did not enjoy the best of afternoons and let Lampard's shot through his gloves for Chelsea's second goal.

Ferguson, though, has every confidence in the England stopper, who is likely to face Holland in next week's friendly.

"Knowing Ben and the ability which he has, he should have done better with the second goal," said the United boss.

"However, it was his first big challenge.

"He has waited a long time, has had his injuries, and in pre-season I spread the load between the three 'keepers, and maybe we did not have enough minutes for him.

"But the important thing is, knowing his ability, it means I do not have any worries about him."

Ferguson felt United should have put the game beyond Chelsea following their dominant first half, with defender Ricardo Carvalho eventually pulling the FA Cup winners back in it on 52 minutes.

"We should really have put the game to bed," he said.

"The equaliser really knocked us back, and at that point Chelsea were the better team.

"The second goal was the deciding factor."

Ferguson added: "We should have been three or four goals up. When you get chances in big matches and do not take them, you can suffer and we did today."

For new Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti, it was a first piece of silverware in English football.

The Italian coach made several tactical changes during the second half, which paid off.

"We found it difficult, but we were better in the second half when we put more strength on the pitch. In the end, we deserved to win," Ancelotti said.

"It was an important start to the season and now we have to continue to work and improve.

"I like the mental attitude of the players and the organisation of the club.

"We are now ready to start a very important season and want to do the best.

"This result is important because it proves our possibilities."

On the controversy in the build-up to the second goal, the Chelsea manager said: "The referee can stop the play and also the players can put the ball out.

"However, for sure they did not see Evra down on the pitch, because a Chelsea player would put the ball out if they saw an opponent down."
