Yeah this one is definitely a Chelsea fan.
Personally if we line up lick this its going to make a very good game, and I for one am happy:
1. Mourinho is trusting Rashford today
2. We have lots of energy and pace through out the side today
No Mata Fellaini or Carrick
Pretty obvious? I'd say it's fairly unlikely you're correct mate!
Much more likely to be Valencia and Young almost playing as extra full backs in front of a back 4Quite clearly young and rashford up front with mikhi behind them followed by Herrera and pogba. Quite brilliant actually
How would Valencia and Young in attacking roles be a master stroke?
We'd have spent hundreds of millions of pounds to play a team resembling that of the Olympiakos debacle.
I know we have players out through injury and suspension, but this is a seriously underwhelming side.
We are 5 at the back, same as them....
This is their usual lineup, no bus parking from them.
I'd consider stripping off if we do.Boy if we were to pull this off!
How does Darmian play wingback? Doesn't make sense.Knocked me out!
One thing I miss about LvG. He was an absolute maniac. Oh and he called Custis a fat man!
I think you'll see us try a couple of things...
1) Get the ball out wide to the wing-backs (Valencia/Darmian) and let them cross from deep, for Mkhitaryan/Rashford - a la Spurs.
2) Pogba/Herrera pickup possession and immediately look to play a ball over the top for Mkhitaryan/Rashford to run on to.
It'll be much closer to:
De Gea
Smalling - Jones - Rojo
Valencia - Pogba - Herrera - Darmian
Mkhitaryan - Rashford - Young
4-4-2? I'll believe it when I see itRashford made it after all. I bet Jose was happy with all the Fellaini talk in the build up.
I can't say I'm over the moon with that team and formation but given who's out for us and the opposition, maybe it's not too bad. I hope we bore them to deathNot keen on Young starting at all. Would have much preferred to see Lingard or Mata in ahead of him.
Not keen on Darmian playing LWB either. Would have preferred Shaw or Blind there, or even Rojo in there, with Bailly at CB.
Not confident.
You got a good looking dentist? Or a sadist?Bit risky trying to play them at their own game considering how good and effective they are at it.
Space is in behind Alonso and Moses on the counter. Valencia and Young can get in there, pull Cahill/Azpi out and put crosses into Rash and Mhki. It's the best way to get at them.Don't know why there would be a meltdown if we lost. City played a woeful Boro who have no idea how to attack, Arsenal played a non-league side and Spurs played a lower league side who are on a different planet to them. We got the hardest draw.Not a fan of three at back.Painful team.
Yeah and the game vs Rostov was good preparation, intended or otherwiseHerrera with Pogba in a midfield two..vs Chelsea.
Well, that explains the three centre backs. They'll have a lot of work.
Young offers almost nothing as an attacking entity. I'd sooner play Mata and play with a more conventional system. I don't think matching this Chelsea side man for man is the way to go about this.De Gea
Darmian Jones Smalling Darmian
Valencia Herrera Pogba Young
Miki
Rashford
There is always meltdown anytime United lose a game.Because he's been poor lately. Jones' been worse, so I was expecting Bailly to start. Maybe experience was the criterion?
4411?
But I still think We are gonna play wingbacks as rojo is not that good at left backI had a feeling we'd match their system.
Well hopefully we get off to a good start. Can't concede an early goal.How come Bailly isn't starting for you?Will be VERY interesting to see. Mou is supposedly a tactical genius, let's see it tonight then.Our chance lies with Mkhi and Rashford who should be able to cause them some trouble with pace. I know there's injuries, but I still get a bit depressed seeing Young starting a game like this. He'll get his testimonial here, no doubt...
Sure he's there for "Darmian security" but really hope that Pogba and Young switch at least once, really want to see Young and Tony V on one wing3 at the back??
that's a risky move, but hopefully we surprised the feck out of them.
Its a hard worker 11, so i don't know... i have hope. We can catch them on the counter.Young is the curveball, can't figure out his position.
It will be five when we defend.WHO said Mourinho is not a flexible manager Would love to see direct counterattacking AV on the wing exploting the space behind the wing . game on
Yep, Bad idea IMO. they've been playing this way since October.
Who know, but Jose must have his reasons.- Status
