Our youth acadamy is great at the moment and this lad has gone from the youth team stright to the First team, totaly skipped the reserves. From what i have seen so far i have no douts about the lad at all. And i dout im not the only one that thinks Berba isen't Utd class, even my cousin who is and always has been a Utd fan is still on the fence about the lad.

I wouldn't say were acadamy is great at the moment as hardley any of them have broken into your team and that player mceachren (sp). How can people be raving on about how good his is when he's made a few substitute apperances
Its not just McEachran who has broken through you got Van Aanholt, Bruma and Borini all have made first team appearences.
And you lost 4-3... Real game changer that.
If you watched the full 90 minutes you would have seen it and even Newcastle fans said he bossed the game when he came on.
I didn't say because we had most of the ball we should have won, I said we bossed the game and you didn't have that many chances of note (only 2 really stick out in my haed). You're a typical Chelsea fan, claiming it's your tactic to only play on the counter, when most of the time your just forced into playing that tactic. What kind of Champions play defensive and look for the counter at home? I'm sure the game did not go as Ancellotti planned but he was probably happy with the 3 points.
You seemed to have conveniently glossed over my definition of the phrase "that good". I said by "that good" I meant good enough for you to be brimming with confidence that you will go on to win the league from such an early stage. I have to say that your analysis of your team is more or less correct, you have a good side, but not that good.
The last paragraph is ridiculous, it's shockingly obvious that if Chelsea lose Drogba, they're nearly a completely different side.
No we play the tactic that gives us the best chance of beating the team we are playing at that time. AND WHERE DID I SAY WE WOULD WIN THE LEAGUE EARLY!!!!!
Also your last point on missing Drogba is also massivly false. African Nations last season.... When Drogba is out we have the players to change our system and Anelka scores majority of our goals.

he has 6 in 8 league games, same striker rate as drogba. the fact is he and scholes have been the creative heartbeat of the side, we have stayed in touch largely because of those two, if he is key to us, how can he not be united quality?
"United quality"is an abstract term which i assume you are assuming means good enough toplay well for united.... which he has been doing
And Berbatov has 7 goals in 11 appearences in all comps. I don't think he does enough for the side thats my opinion and i know people feel the same way also.
