That is one hideous looking lineup by Chelsea. Set up to be a very boring game.

Darmian and Young, no courage here it seems from the boss.I'm going for:
De Gea
Smalling - Jones - Rojo
Valencia - Pogba - Herrera - Darmian
Young - Rashford - MkhitaryanOh, I just meant it's a shite formation
I've quite enjoyed it! Seems like we've played some sort of 433 since 2004, nice to have a change!
Ah yes they did you're right. They hardly got schooled though. They should have actually won the game
That's all they have got. They never play an open game6-3-1 ?And another
Conte treating United a bit differently to the rest - even without Ibrahimovic.

Interestingly, Antonio Conte has ditched his Cup keepers policy and picked Courtois rather than Begovic.
7:16 PM - 13 Mar 2017Those years ago we moaned about having Valencia and Young out wide.
Roll on to tonight, both in their 30s, still starting together
Come on, boys!BBC are guessing it's Jones in midfield.
Who would you have played?thats a bus park from JoseSurely Blind has to play if it's 5-3-2. Will be interesting to see how this goes.
Not a chance.BBC are guessing it's Jones in midfield.
You know it's a match day thread when some prefer Jones over Bailly. Ridiculous.
Young and valencia wont start on the same side. they both have right foot for crosses .Jones to step out and shut the passing lane and limit the movement of Hazard while Rojo and Smalling can isolate Costa and his ability to link and hold up play.
Let Kante and Matic become the playmakers...Forgot there was a game. When did we move to a back 5.
Oh come on... what would you call chelsea's then? 2 cdms kante and matic and 2 wingbacks and 3 defenders . 7 players to win the ballRashbeck. I hope he just doesnt run with the ball into the advertisement hoardings all the time. I really dont rate rashford at all. At best he will be for me a 15-20 Pl team player. I know some might disagree but i dont see anything special in him.Jose is matching the formation of Chelsea so expect a stiffled approach and a possible bore game. Much like the away match against the scousers.
On that basis, I'm going for 0-1 for us.It could also be Jones-Smalling-Rojo-Darmian.
Even Willian over Pedro is the defensive optionIs this terrestrial?
You forgot Will I AM
That's been our formation for almost the entire season.Really can't see us getting anything here but hopefully we can grind out a result! Plenty of pace in the attack but the midfield 2 is the worry. Carrick in there and I'd be a lot more confident but Mourinho tends to know what he's doing when he makes special plans for games.Return to 442?
.......Rashford.........Mkhi.........
Young...Pogba..Herrera....Valencia
Rojo...Jones...Smalling...Darmian
.............De Gea......................
He's in to track Mkhitaryan imo. He shouldn't be the difference maker if he's going the other way
You realise we're talking about Phil Jones right?
Bailly has been in atrocious form recently. Yes, even worse than Jones who has cost us points in the last two games. Jones has generally been decent in those games barring those brain farts, whereas Bailly has been terrible throughout his last three games. Hell, even before he went to the AFCON his form was dropping away.
Not to say I necessarily agree with it, but I understand the decision.
It would make sense if he was any good defensively.
So You are gonna park the bus Right.
thats their normal side. it is not a shock. They play that formation week in week out, thats why theyre dominating the league. If jose has matched them, then is his not the same?
Blind and Lingard or Mata.
In fairness Bailly was looking great as soon as he got back from AFCON. Think it was the St Etienne home game where he started to look poor, then just got worse from there.Rashbeck. I hope he just doesnt run with the ball into the advertisement hoardings all the time. I really dont rate rashford at all. At best he will be for me a 15-20 Pl team player. I know some might disagree but i dont see anything special in him.
Your appointment is at 10am tomorrow morning with Specsavers- Status
