"It was a good performance. We played well. It was a difficult game against a team who played really well. We kept going and played well in the second half. We used strength, power and intensity. In the middle of the first half they were able to play easily, and we were in difficulties. But we came back well and the second-half was good."- Carlo Ancelotti, Chelsea's Manager.
 
"We defended badly on the first goal, that was a bad one to lose. The penalty was soft. But we played very well. I thought it was a great performance by us, and we didn't deserve that. I'm proud of my players who have done their best, created chances and played good football. They didn't deserve that."- Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United's Manager.

Manchester United has yet to win in the last four matches since their $50 million euro purchase of Fernando Torres from Liverpool.  "It's important to understand the style of football your team is playing, how you are involved in the system and everything," Torres said.  "This always takes some time. But, I think, once you get it, everything becomes much easier. The important thing is to have different options in the way you play."
