Default Re: Chelsea v Manchester United - Champions League Final on Wed 21/5

4-5-1 or 4-4-2 for me Chelsea will have the greater of the possession. Their midfield is superior IMO and tactically they play a more continental style of football with their slow build up play.

I expect to see Man Utd doing alot of chasing and tackling and trying to feed Ronaldo/Rooney on the counter.

If Man Utd come out to force their play this could be an awesome match, but I doubt it. Fergie probably feels he's never really won this cup - '99 was some sought of miracle - and so he won't take any risks.

I expect a match that acheives few highs, plenty of tension and if we're lucky a goal or 2. There will be cards as well. No way a ref can keep a lid on this with these players...especially if Ronaldo's play acting, Scholes mistackling and Drogba up to his usual antics. And thrown in a host of other players. This for me could be a big makeup.
