Not good enough.
"it means that he didn't have anything to close control of it and might not have reached it at all and thus that giving a red card was moronic."
Or maybe he could've reached it? Anyway, I though you were contesting the penalty per se.
Much better from Giovinco today, but you can see he's playing under pressure. He needs to chill, he doesn't have to prove it all in a single match. He'll get his chances with Conte, of that I'm sure and he should be too.

Luck.
Van Persie United.
It didn't improve much... lots of possession for United in the last 10 minutes. Both goals from corners.

Absolute shite
Typical!
It was shite but Southampton didn't even try for the last 20 minutes so it was inevitable really. We're just not good enough to Chelsea our way to victory.
on replay, the penalty was fine, i was initially unsure.
the red card still seems quite absurd.
How can someone with a Suzy avatar be so pissy ?
Scholes was great when he came on. Can't believe we still have to rely on him to come in and dictate games.
Agree Anderson should play, as should Nani on the left.
We've become Arsenal. Goddamnit, now RVP has to carry us.
Worthless defense and worthless midfield. Playing Welbeck out of position on the left again, WTF is Fergie doing? And how many times do we have to watch Evra fuck up before he gets benched? And when are we going to learn to trust our young players and not fall back on Scholes/Giggs every goddamn time we need a lifeline. And Carrick. Goddamnit, Carrick. Utterly worthless in midfield today and Cleverley was the one who gets subbed?

Serious questions need to be asked then. City haven't looked that good but United won't win anything if they keep playing the way they have been.

:lol
At least you know what formation you play. I think we played 4-1-2-1-1-1 today.
I'll have to see some replays to see where exactly the ball was going. But let me go in record saying that I've always thought red card + penalty was a retarded football rule, especially when it's the keeper making the foul and not the last defender (well, technically the keeper *is* the last defender). A penalty is punishment enough, no need to ruin a perfectly good match. Still, it's a rule.

We could all write the script for United games. Does my balls in.
Must be great for their fans. But fuck me.

I don't think so, lucky to have Van persie, but United didn´t play a good match.

Firstly, great to see us comeback again and have RVP score four goals in three appearances already. Brilliant.
Now, the tactical switch to 442 was necessary and did the trick. But there's no point setting up tactically for slick fast-moving football if there's no commitment on the pitch to that vision, as it is supposedly put into practice. The whole team was at fault - always dithering, sloppy passing, cowardly passing - in sum, brittle under pressure. Shinji and Cleverley weren't the problems, although Schneiderlin almost marked the former entirely out of the game.
Carrick's harmless long-balls into RVP at the death captured the inadequacy of our penetration and the break-down of our short-passing game. Fergie needs to have a word with some of the players about static passing and lethargic movement off-the-ball. Maybe Anderson-Cleverley leaves us more fragile at the back, but we can't rely on Scholes forever and at least we tend to score more goals than the other team - ah, with less heart-attacks.
Hahaha.
