Valencia and Young on the right surely to deal with HazardSeems like Jose didn't take well to Bailly's rash performance at St. Etienne. That said, he can be no more rash than Phil fecking penalty-magnet Jones.
Jones has been better than Bailly this season.
Obviously Bailly is a new signing and it's normal for people to get excited, but performance wise, Jones has been better and deserves his place ahead of him.I have to be honest - I am not going to be too upset if we lose this. I feel that with an FA Cup under our belt and the League Cup just a few weekends ago, we don't really need another two extra intense fixtures on top of our European commitments which are far more important.

Bitterly disappointed he's not.DDG

Have tried five different combinations and I'm still unsure.
Yep.
Matching their formation but with inferior players in unfamiliar positions seems a terrible idea.Some pessimistic feckers on here. Look on the bright side, we won't be 1-0 down within 29 seconds this time.Im expecting a 523 (or 343) - sometimes with Young of course coming back to help out Darmian.
Pretty much leave Mkhi and Rashford to hit on counter. Little surprised Carrick isnt playing though.That is a team full of hard working players in the wide areas (Young/Darmian/Valencia). I would have preferred Rojo - Smalling -Bailly as back 3. Hopefully Jones put in a good performance to justify manager's faith on him.Not sure what to think of the line up. Damian makes me
Anyway, let's see what we got. All of us thought he'd start Fellaini
Oh, no (switches to private viewing)
Who is in a unfamiliar position?No Fellaini is a surprise.Can I edit my line up, please?Our bench is stronger than the first XIWhy are we playing a new formation which is the same as the formation our opponent is using except they are masters of it... I know "football doesn't work like that", but this is not the game for experiments.
Young in the midfield 3 makes even less sense than him as a striker, absolutely bizarre with Carrick and Lingard on the bench.So 3 at the back and AV and Darmian as wingbacks. Wonder Where will Young play ? Also No bailly and carrick and smalling prefered with jones in defence? Got a bad feeling there in cb's .Smalling is leakyNot really sure about the Darmian inclusion. Is he playing as LWB? With Young further up?
---------------------DDG----------------------
-----------Jones----Small----Rojo------------
--Valencia---Herrera----Pogba---Darmian---
--------Mkhi------Rashford----Young--------
That's the only way I see us shaping up, but I would have though Blind or Saw would be better there than Darmian
Ths same Jones that cost us 2 points against Bournemouth and a clean sheet vs Rostov? He's in shite form at the moment.
Sarcasm? the only way I want to see Fellaini up front is if he's sitting on the transfer bus back to Everton.
Nobody.Chelsea team tonight: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Willian, Diego Costa, Hazard
Chelsea subs v Man Utd: Begovic, Terry, Zouma, Chalobah, Fabregas, Pedro, Batshuayi
We have the game on Thursday, which to Jose is more important and it is likely too short a turnaround for Carrick.
I agree. Hope we're wrong
In reality, it's not that huge of a change. It's changing Carrick for a CB.
Oh wow, 3-5-2 they think? Nah, I don't see Young being so centralAt least if we're stumped by the formation, Chelsea will be too.
I'm optimistic.You understand!
Let us hope that we actually do go for it this time.
Man I was pumped after that LvG speech.
I know that.
Ye, that's the one.
Because he made life easy for José by breaking Rooney
We'd get pummeled if we went 4231 with this squad.Would be quite something if Jose can pull of a Jose masterclass special with that lineup.
Regardless, its one time I am not a bunch of nerves going into this game
I thought Carrick would rest the Thursday game lol- Status
