Merdeka Tournament Round-up - Match day 2

Meanwhile, Myanmar went down to a shock 3-1 loss to a Vietnam under 23 side preparing for next year’s SEA Games in Laos.

Having come from a goal down to defeat Vietnam’s senior team 3-2 in Ho Chi Minh City earlier this month, Myanmar would have been expecting a better result against the Mai Duc Chung-coached side as they gear-up for December’s ASEAN meet.

However, Phan Thanh Binh put the Vietnamese one up with just three minutes gone and while Khin Muang Lwin levelled the match on the stroke of half-time further goals from Hoang Dinh Tung (47th) and Nguyen Duc Thien (74th) sealed Myanmar’s fate.

Myanmar’s Merdeka Cup Group B rivals Bangladesh also made a losing start to the 40th edition of the invitational tournament as the 2003 South Asian champions went down 1-0 to Mozambique, with Francisco Jange scoring the only goal of the game with two minutes left on the clock.

Chelsea youngster Michael Mancienne has conceded he may be forced to leave Stamford Bridge.

The highly-rated 20-year-old has yet to make the breakthrough at Chelsea since coming through the youth ranks.

Mancienne has had two successful loan spells at Queens Park Rangers over the last few years, but he has been unable to make an impression in the star-studded Chelsea line-up.

The versatile defender, who is a regular in the England Under 21 side, admits it is frustrating being forced to play reserve-team football.

"I understand the problem at Chelsea because there are so many top quality players," "But it can get you down when you are a regular with England Under 21s but you go back to the reserve team. It's very frustrating.

"My game has blossomed under Stuart Pearce and my education at Chelsea has been top class.

"But I am at a stage now where I need to play first-team football and feel ready to test myself at the highest level.

"I will keep trying to catch the boss' eye but eventually you have to be honest and start thinking about what's best for your career."

Mancienne will be a member of the Under 21 squad looking to finish the job off against Wales in their Euro 2009 play-off on Tuesday night.

In a match strewn with nine yellow cards, a disappointing night was completed by the late sending-off of Carl Magnay as Chelsea lost points and failed to find the net for the first time this season.

Brendan Rodgers's team, missing some regulars due to international call-ups, dominated the early exchanges and there was soon a lecture for Villa full-back Eric Lichaj for chopping down Scott Sinclair on the wing.

Two half-openings arrived around the quarter-of-an-hour mark, Fabio Ferreira, who enjoyed plenty of possession early on, tucking a pass inside to a well-placed Gaël Kakuta but on his return to competitive action after injury, the French youngster's touch was not certain enough.

Then a corner laid back to the edge of the area rolled into the path of Sinclair but the shot was still rising as it cleared the bar.

Wide men Sinclair and Ferreira swapped wings but with no increase in penetration and Magnay was Chelsea's first booking five minutes before the break for a late tackle five yards from the edge of the area.

The free-kick proved harmless but Tejera went a lot closer a minute before the interval after the previously quiet Fabio Borini had won a free-kick on the left.

Sidwell began and finished the move, his reverse pass picked up by Zoltan Stieber who on the right, whipped a cross inside Hutchinson for Sidwell to guide a header inside Hilario's far post, having nipped between defenders.

Jordan Tabor was introduced for Hutchinson. He was to play left-back with Magnay moving to the centre. Clark became Villa's third booking for a bone-crunching challenge on Ofori-Twumasi that left both players writhing on the turf.

Into the final 10 minutes, a tired-looking pass from Ofori-Twumasi allowed Villa to break, James Collins shooting just wide.

For restricting Chelsea to minimal chances in the second-half, the team from the Midlands had deserved their three points.

Chelsea (4-3-3): Henrique Hilario; Nana Ofori-Twumasi, Liam Bridcutt (c), Sam Hutchinson (Jordan Tabor 60), Carl Magnay; Tom Taiwo (Jacob Mellis h-t), Gaël Kakuta, Sergio Tejera (Frank Nouble 70); Fabio Ferreira, Fabio Borini, Scott Sinclair.

Villa (4-4-2): Elliott Parish; Eric Lichaj, Matthew Roome, Ciaran Clark, Stephen O'Halloran; Barry Bannan, Zoltan Stieber (Harry Forrester 83), Steve Sidwell, Chris Herd; James Collins, Sam Williams.

No10: Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink

The mad stare of Hasselbaink was first spotted on these shores when Leeds signed him in 1997. The little-known striker went on to become one of the Premier League’s hotshots with two dazzling seasons at Elland Road. And after a year in Spain, the powerful Dutchman returned to wreak havoc with Chelsea.

No1: Thierry Henry

Henry wins in a photo finish. The Frenchman initially struggled at Arsenal in 1999 but on his departure eight years later, he had carved his place in history. Henry is the highest overseas scorer in Premier League history and was the driving force behind the Gunners’ 21st century success.

kakibangku's verdict: Henry is worthy to be number one!
