Yeah, I really don't rate Rojo as a CB.

[TimEP3]

He was awful last night, but he's been a CB all his career so that's definitely going to be his position. People seem to get misled by the fact he played left side at the World Cup. I think he could be coached to be very good, but he needs to be a lot more aggressive. Not sure why, as he was apparently very aggressive and had a pretty poor disciplinary record in Portugal. Was caught under the ball so many times last night - Vida, he most definitely is not.

[m1ke]

Back 3 maybe, not a back 4, can't wait for Evans to get back. Rojo can either play LB or be benched. Shaw and Rafa did well last night. Shaw got dragged infield for their first but I imagine he was following orders to try and win the ball high up the pitch.

[trancem]

LOL, flip right off blaming Rafa for that. Rojo and Jones fault.

You haven't a clue if you blame Rafa for that.

Yes Jones pushed up and left a massive gap behind him. Yes Rojo should have come across to cover Jones' position.

But why was Rafa 5 yards behind everyone else? If he's read the danger that Jones has pushed up, he should be coming infield to cover his position, not drop 5-10 yards!

[m1ke]

No he shouldn't he was marking his own man on the touchline, he ran past Rojo in behind Jones, nothing to do with Rafa who had dropped to try and compensate.

[trancem]

Whether he came infield or stayed out on the touchline, why was he 5-10 yards behind the rest of the defence? Since when do you have to drop just because you're marking somebody?

if he was in line with Rojo/Shaw, then when the ball was played, Berahino wouldve been offside!

Good result for UTD that.

Can't see anything other then a 3rd hole being ripped by Chelski today.

[TimEP3]

I'm just grateful we're not facing the might of Hull. Small mercies and all that.

West Brom......

[TimEP3]

This will be a long game, if we're going to play it over the course of the season so far.

[smartie]

The battle for mid table mediocrity is on bro.

[Mark]

gotta love banter

[J@mes]

Not a bad result against Chelsea, why so negative?

[trancem]

First half was the best i've seen us play for a long, long time. Great tempo.

Good result considering we went 1-0 down and they tried to waste seconds at every opportunity!

[m1ke]

Happy with that, only 20 mins of that game Chelsea were better.

Shaw, Rafael and Fellaini were our best players. If it wasn't for the second best goalkeeper in the world we'd have won it.

Ref bottled it today, 3 pens some how missed and a second red card.

That would be decisions balancing themselves out.
