Weekend Review - 09 Aug 2009


Manchester United vs Chelsea



"A warm welcome to the new season"
-Gary, 09 Aug 2009

A warm welcome to the new season as the curtain raiser for this weekend is the Community Shield between Man Utd and Chelsea.

Chelsea, without fail, open their new season with a new manager yet again. This time round is Carlo Ancelotti. This new season seem very quiet as the volume of transfer activities are not as much as previous season with the exception of Man Middle East City. This financial crisis has in fact increased the effect of savings by 5-10 folds. If Chelsea strikeforce of Anelka and Drogba can stay injury-free, with Deco and Joe Cole playing deeper in the new formation, i think Fergie have a great foresight by saying Chelsea is the force to reckon for this new season, not Liverpool.

As i mentioned earlier in the prelude, I dont know how the losses of Ronaldo and Tevez has affected Man Utd, but it has not shown in the pre-season friendlies yet. We have to see as the season progress. The impact is greatly minimised from what we have see Antonio Valencia in action. As for Micheal Owen, he have to prove his critics wrong in the new season, rather than in the friendlies. So what he have scored 3 goals? The opposition is Malaysia national team.

Kind of rusty when you didnt write for 2 months.

Chelsea Team News: No injuries reported. A full squad to choose from.

Man Utd Team News: Edwin van der Sar injured his fingers and either Ben Foster or Thomaz Kuszczak will man between the posts. Vidic, Wes Brown, Gary Neville are out.

Odds and Analysis: With a level handicap and given that this game is treated as a friendly, no punt for me.

Disclaimer: This review is entirely on my own views and opinion. I didn’t point a gun at you to ask you to follow. If you want to bet on this game, do so at your own risk. Pls bet within limits. Good luck.
