Conte has paid us a lot of respect by putting Matic back in for Fabregas.
We should have put in Carrick or Fellaini for Pogba.Mourinho is brilliant, Conte has no idea what will hit him, poor man!
I hope
C'mon. This match isn't played in a bubble. If he doesn't start on Thursday, then you can make that claim.Is it wrong that I look more forward to my dentist appointment tomorrow than this?I know that.
I know you do. Just wanted to try and kill some of the pessimism.
That's a pretty big change for the defence though, isn't it? Playing 3 CBs with wing backs ain't the same as having Carrick and 2 CBs with fullbacks.Doesn't seem like rocket science, lads....
-----------DDG------------
---Jones--Smalling--Rojo---
Valencia--------------------Darmian
----------Herrera---Pogba---------
--Mkhi-----------------------Young
-------------Rashford--------------
Simple. Not sure why people think Young is playing as a central midfielder?Think it's a 4-4-2 with Darmian behind Valencia and Rojo behind Young. Would be a great move by Jose.
With the 3 CB's I think it has to be that but it might be Mkhi in the midfield 3 and Young up top with Rashford, which is again odd as Lingard and Rashford have an understanding and would make more sense as a pairing.3 at the back? Interesting.
Very surprised Pedro has been benched. Excited to see Willian's new haircut.
You had to ask huh?Edited my line-up because of MEN, think I'd have been better off leaving it as it wasBoy if we were to pull this off!no Bailly or Mata,I am shocked.
Rashford starts , Jose is just a troll
What's he done? Extentions?3-4-3 matching Chelsea basically. Pretty obvious IMO. Problem is... Herrera-Pogba as a duo vs Kante-Matic? Can't see Pogba having too much fun here. Plus Darmian at left wingback against Willian is nightmare material. Hopefully we put up a good fight though.
But in reality we'll be setup as:
Jones - Smalling - Rojo - Darmian
Valencia-------------------------------Young
Herrera ---- Pogba
Mkhitaryan - Rashford
Jones has been hitting the same tanning salons as Trump, I see.
Mourinho surprising Conte
More than one surprise in this team.

Surprised no Fellaini for MUFC. With Matic partnering Kante instead of Fabregas I think Conte is also surprised no Fellaini.

I've been dreading it since the injury news but i can't deny I'm excited now. So what if we lose? Its a weakened team and we have bigger fish to fry. Plus hopefully Rashford gives Jose something to consider up front. Just enjoy it, if we get soundly beat then complain after the game.
Corn rows isnt it? Sure he has had them beforeKante and Matic starts for chelsea.. They are gonna park the bus. 2 cdm's with wing backs.Last edited:We're going to lose this 1-0, and create 2 chances in the 90 minsWth, no Mata?I dismissed those who thought Jose's formation against Rostov was a nod to this game, how wrong was I.
Essentially Jose has put all of his hardest workers into the lineup.
Interested to see how this plays out.
Hadnt considered that, could well be the case and a potential master strokePlaying with 4 full-backs, ingenious strategy
I'll be pulling one off.Boy if we were to pull this off!
Why Does Mourinho not include TFM even on the benchThere's no chance anyone guessed that lineup!
Can only imagine it's
De Gea
Darmian Jones Smalling Rojo
Valencia Herrera Pogba Young
Miky
Rashford
Let's see how we fare!
But he wasnt quite global yet.Looks pretty obvious we've matched up with Chelsea man for man no?
I'm convinced we'll lose but hey I always do. Will try to enjoy the match and avoid the caf meltdown afterwards.
Maybe he doesn't think he's good enough? Attitude problem maybe? Can't really see any other reason.
It does feel like it though. He didn't start against Bournemouth either. Nothing to be worried about anyway. With the amount of games we have and the inconsistency shown by our CBs, he could be first-choice again by next week.Chelsea parking the bus again- Status
