We played with a false 9 for most of last season!

Since Jose left? So you don't think we were well drilled under Hiddink? When we restricted "The best club side of all time" to one meaningful chance in 180 which was still a difficult one. We were also pretty well drilled under RDM in the champions league as well.

Sadly Mata is probably going to get himself a new contract at another club

Forget chances if he could control the ball without giving it away it would be an improvement.

Torres is unbelievably bad.

We actually managed to beat United last season...

Our midfielders having nothing to aim for because we have nothing up front to base our attacks around.

Poor dive by Cole

Good strike by Cahill

If Welbeck was a remotely decent finisher we would be losing now.

Let's hope the 2nd half today is similar to the 2nd half in that game. Minus the missed open goal.

Someone tell me that is shopped before I start raging.

We don't seem to have any idea what to do when we get the ball

Only at Old Trafford.

He let Cole off for a challenge on RVP before. he's clearly under instructions to be as lenient as possible.

We looked lost up front way before that since Studge almost never played upfront for us.

I don't even think Torres rates Torres anymore.

I'd be disappointed with a draw.

Cech Motm for us - made some good saves. Hazard was our best outfield player while Mata was absolutely awful possibly his worst performance in a Chelsea shirt but it was his first game back so I'm sure he will get back up speed shortly. He's not a Chelsea player but I thought Delph was outstanding for Villa, he came out on top against our boys in the centre of the pitch

Jose - Press the ball. That was a stone wall penalty for Villa. Nervous moments.

So you agree it's not wise to play Torres over Lukaku..

Regardless of how it turns out I'm much happier with this game than the same fixture last season. Mourinho > Rafa

Perfect free kick. Ivanovic!

Lukaku and Shurrle on.

Villa are looking the most likely side to win this game
