Unofficial Post Match Review (The Community Shield, last Sunday).

The starting line-up for Chelsea was rather bizzare. A 4-3-3 formation without really a 'natural striker'. It was because of the injuries..injuries....Without Drogba, definately Chelsea was lost in their attacking supremecy. Wright-Phillips, to certain extend, I think had proved that his small-figure had dampened his ability. So, on that day, the other choice of 3 -man upfront were the new signing's Malouda and Joe Cole. Well, OK, all the hype about Malouda.His a great player. Actually it was quiet embarrasing to watch Ferdinand tertunduk tunduk ligan si Malouda. AND, the worst thing was that particular move had made a goal, not a spectacular goal, but enough to seal the game to the Penalty Shoot-out. Tal Ben Haim -- a free transfer that replaced Terry's position. Franklly speaking, I donno why on earth Chelsea sign this Israeli player. Was it because he of the free transfer? I think Abramovich's pocket still kembung dgn $$$$...To say because he is highly skilled player, tak jugak.Maybe because Ben Haim ni pandai provoke opponent's player, like what he had done to Rooney.. Lampard--maybe engine tak panas lagi. Tak menyerlah seperti selalunya. If I'm not mistaken, there was no long-range shot taken, the trademark of Lampard. Cech, OK, pity him that he has to wear that protective head gear for the rest of his career.Nampak mcm kureng selesa, coz dia cabut head gear tu masa penalty shoot out. As for the Devils, the loyal servant Mr.Giggs once again proved that age does not matter.A nicely taken cross. He was acting as an attacking midfielder, to support Rooney, rather than playing as a striker. Rooney---aku harap as the time pass by, he will get even mature, and learn how to control his temper. No question ask about Ronaldo as a Right winger....and Ronaldo, maybe because of the status of the game as an appetizer, kurang menjatuhkan badannya...and definately I would say that he played below his usual standard..Evra as a Left winger?...Memula memang aku tergelak tengok line -up Man U, but as we know, the position of Left winger & Left wing back on that day were interchangeable between Evra and Silvestre.Evra's cross proved it. No wonder Heinze prefer other club to continue his career! Hero of the day, Edwin Van Der Sar. To deny 3 penalties, consecutively, I guess was not purely based on luck. [web mod - no contest here] Lawak of the day: Bila Wright-Phillips terjah VDS, lepas tu pegang sebelah kaki VDS. [web mod - Lagi lawak bila Ronaldo nak dribble, skali bola tertinggal kat blakang, pastu buat2 mcm dia nak buat cam gitu... maluuuuu] Nani: with less than 20 minutes to play, nothing much he could show. Plus the fact that he is new to EPL....and Ronaldo stole the limelight...perhaps he should comes in as a subs for Ronaldo!
