[FrankMunro-371]

Middlesbrough take the lead at Norwich, and deservedly so.

 

[Lycan]

That is a truly disgusting dive by Hoolahan. Not the first time he's done it this season either, luckily he doesn't get away with it this time.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Looks like it's been all Norwich since the goal, you'd fancy them to get at least 1 back at this rate.

 

[Freddeno]

Norwich struggle to create now..but i think it will end 1-1 anyway

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Boro win to go top.

 

[Premier Quality]

Have to say, middlesboro's defending was very impressive.

 

[Lycan]

Was it though? Or were Norwich just a bit shit in the final third?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Norwich were gash, just lumped it in the general direction of Jerome who just kept trying to back in rather than compete for headers. Only bit of threat they had was Hoolahan and he just kept trying to do it all alone. Terrible second half performance considering how dominant they were just before the break.

 

[Lycan]

Exactly my thoughts.

 

[Freddeno]

Yeah

 

[Freddeno]

to me it doesnt look like Giggs, like LVG or his playing style or methods one single bit haha

 

[jd1981]

Which numbnuts scheduled the fa cup semi final to be played same time as Chelsea v Man Utd.

Exactly..switching back and fourth myself

 

[Carrotdude]

Utd dominating Chelsea but only one decent chance so far that Rooney should have buried

 

[jd1981]

Chelsea look content with a point already, utd impressive so far.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Goal out of nowhere for Chelsea, United lose their shape at the back and Hazard has got a massive gap to run into before finishing well.

 

[jd1981]

Great football by Chelsea.

 

[YoungWolf]

Good goal, but as Mark said United completely lost their shape. United had been pretty good up to that point too.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

First time United hadn't been in complete control really, they've had pretty much all of the ball so far without really having to try too hard to keep it. Shows the margins at that level, one lapse and someone will be in.

Think Herrera has played really well so far, doing a good job on Fabregas defensively and always available when United are in possession, didn't really know anything of him until United signed him but I quite like him.

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah, they've kept the ball very well. Rarely have they forced a forward pass but when needed Fellaini is a decent player to play it up towards as he shields the ball very well.

Herrera is brilliant, first proper run in the team lately but he's got a decent amount of goals. He was very good for Bilbao.
