Man Utd Vs Chelsea

if rvp stayed on the post he would have cleared Drogba's header. good result against the champions elect but can count our luck costa was not playing as it was only hazard that tried to run at our defence yesterday. City on sunday will be different kettle of fish and hopefully the openness of the match might let De maria run a bit more freely (Chelsea had 2 players on him most of the game)

Having Rafael marking Drogba was the problem not RVP not staying on the post imo. The header would have even beat a man on the post it was a pretty good header.

I mean Rafael marking Drogba :rofl:

yes that would be correct too, in hindsight rvp and rafa should have swapped places.

I just think Utd were too slow to get sorted after the chance. Chelsea did the right thing by taking the corner quickly. Ordinarily, Rafa would be on the post and RVP looking to cut the cross off as the first man.

Great header though, fair result in the end!
