I think the result is fair to both side. For Chelsea, the result is fair due to our wastefulness in front of goal. Fabregas, Drogba, Remy, etc are the culprits. As for Schalke, they are very discipline and I think their GK is in a good form.

I anticipated Drogba will start the game but I never foresee he would survive until 60+ minutes. It is logical for Drogba to be given the game time he needed to boost his match fitness, but maintaining him until the 2nd half backfired the team. I think Remy should be introduced at the start of the 2nd half in place of him.

Overall, it was disappointing not to get the full 3 points but I don't think we need to panic on anything. The intensity and intent to win the game is still there. It is just luck was not on our side for the game.

i think the core for tonight's game against city will be our central 3 player which i believed would be oscar (behind costa) and fabregas - matic behind him. reason is simple. fabregas was never meant to become a DM and his deficiencies while playing at the said position is well documented. So, I think the safest way to protect his position is by playing oscar as both of them can switch their position and oscar having a better defensive discipline.

i don't think JM will go for the defensive this time around, but that is still possible. if he do choose this way, i think ramires will definitely slot in at the right side of the formation.

this looks good. as long as ramires did not get a 1st half yellow card, then i think nobody will kena heart attack tonight!

i really think ramires energy will be vital in this game. he will need to cover a lot of ground for tonight's game. and i really hope he can keep his head cool. please do not pick a yellow card early in the game!

Willian so wasteful.. slow in making his decision and does not click well with costa.. i think oscar is a better option..

Willian totally off wei.. please sub him out for oscar. I think somebody will kena red tonight..

Lampaaaard.. O wai

I think the result is fair. We did start the game with the intention to get a draw. Eithad was never a good hunting ground for any team so, to come away with 1 point and maintaining the lead at the top of the PL table is good enough for me.

The 1st 2 subs is ok. But i wonder why drogba always get the nod instead of remy? From my POV, this is nothing less than the torres effect we got in the latter 1st season in blues. He got the priority above others. I think giving remy the chance is much2 better.. who knows maybe he can conjure something to win the game?

Lampard scored again! 4 goals in 3 games rite? Good for him.

Good win for us.. Nobody injured and Costa deliver again. What a signing he is. Willian's performance show a lot of improvement. Same for Oscar. So, midweek there will be CL game and next will be Arsenal.

Bring It On!

damn.. costa just played his 3rd consecutive 90minutes in 7 days.. i really hope he can be rested during spain next match.. or at most, 45 minutes only in that match.

really afraid on his injury problem..

I hope there is nothing serious with Lampard. 2 assist in the game..

I thought Spurs can cause an upset to City but that seems impossible.. Danny Rose is so poor in his positioning. He make Glen Johnson looks better. At least Johnson did have some impact going forward..

I think the red was quite fair considering azpi got both of his feet going towards the opposition..

Wow.. now both team playing with 10..

I hope fabregas can keep his head since he already yellow carded. And considering his temper, he might went full retard..

Just realized there is an advert in malay language.. what a waste considering the place and the target group it was intended for..

i think the 1-1 result is quite fair to both team. man utd show a lot of desire to get something from the team and honestly, i always think they got the better chance to get things right when the game started, especially when costa is not around in our team.
