And he's been our best winger since he came back from injury..
Him and Giggs when played as winger.
He may lose possession few times but he comes up with moment of magic often, just like his long range shot with his left foot.
Cleverley playing as LW is a terrible waste of his talent, he has been 0 threat all game.
Welbeck was awesome though.
Nani got a bit better as the half went on, not like he could get any worse though.
Why would you not want to win another cup? Especially with the league basically sewn up.

Our midield is shocking all the way across including our wingers, sorry apart from carrick who even today has been poor. Needs serious revamp in summer imo. Supprised giggs/kagawa didnt start!
Don't get me wrong, winning a double would be even better, but I wouldn't be to downhearted if we lose this game.
No we don't. Carrick is amazing today, picking those passes with ease. Problem is supply for strikers. Nani isn't performing, Cleverley had a bad game, Valencia is typical Valencia from this season. Defensively we are looking pretty good, part from Smalling who can't cope with Ba's strength.

Ok if ya say so, clevers plays well when united play well, carrick is not amazing today best pass he made was putting hazard through. nani and valencia far to inconsistent everybody talks about how he can change game but once evry 10 games in not good enough imo. Defensively been ok!
Carrick had atleast 5 interceptions, he stopped Mata from creating more chances with his positioning. People tend to see bad things only, yes, he had one bad, really bad pass, but how many times in this game he played his way out of trouble, picking passes between two or three Chelsea players when he was pinned down the flank? He had better games, no question about that, but to say he's been bad is overreacting.
I agree that Nani really needs to find his form, I just hope Valencia hit his form very quickly.

Really like tony v and nani like you said really need to find some form. Just think were really poor at keeping poss imo.
Well, we had 56% of ball on Stamford Bridge, against the likes of Mata, Hazard and Oscar, without RVP and Rooney, well that pretty good if you ask me. Our wingers need to start delivering very soon. Maybe it's too late for them to shine this season ( in one hand thats good too, since we almost won the title), but next season we are going to be in serious problems without their assists.

Think writing could be on the wall for them, at least 1 anyway the only thing valencia got in his favour is that he can fill in at right back. Need some creativity in the side from wide players and CM imo STR had no service from anywhere today.
The league is wrapped up already! The only reasoning for this comment is purely because you lost.

The league is not wrapped up until it is mathmatically impossible to have lost the title. This time last season we had "wrapped up the league" yet look what happened there. Any united fan will say the title is number one priority this season. As to him only saying that because "we lost" is rubbish. Obviously he would have preferred a win but we didn't and I for one was not bothered if we lost before the game and wasn't when we did. Just ****** at how poorly certain players performed. The only reasoning for your comment is to brag you beat us.
To be fair to him, that comment was made while the match was still ongoing.
Are you serious!? Just because a few players are not on form, doesn't mean you need a revamp. United have one of the best midfields in the Premier League and Valencia has just been a bit unlucky with injuries. I think most clubs in the league would take Carrick and Cleverley!
Let's be realistic here, chances are, you have won the league. What happened last season is very rare, and unlikely to happen again. The odds are hugely in your favour.
No really, it would be nice to win another trophy, but I'm not downhearted after loss today. And I think I made that comment before Chelsea scored. Not sure though, you can check if you're bothered to do that.
Speaking as a neutral, would be great if Fergie could score the double on his last season. CL fiasko and now this, will propably make him want to stay even more
