    Moaned at when he ignores Martial and pushes him out essentially, is my problem. Rashford as a #9 is trash. And hes shown that every single time hes played there. Martial is far superior there. Yet isnt playing because hes leaving in the summer (because of Mou).
     
    Better be competitive in the air or Giroud will have us for dinner.

    No Fellaini on the bench. That's surprising.

    Hopefully jose has had enough of his tantrums and he finally sells him. Imagine us winning the FA cup and Jose after the match say feck fellaini.

    Martial is the better at leading the line from an attacking viewpoint, Rashford more likely to put in a shift. Mourinho was always going to choose the latter.

    Either way I'm happy we'll have a big threat in behind, although our holdup might suffer.

    Guess that's the problem, that in a cup final, Mourinho picks someone who will run around like a headless chicken over someone who would actually improve our attack.
     
    No Caballero for them. Good news for us in case it comes down to a penalty shootout (unless Conte saves a sub for that purpose).

    Quite worried about Giroud. Especially if it's still a draw in the final 10 minutes.

    Why? I haven't seen anything from Martial, under Jose, to warrant a place. Mind you, I haven't really seen much from Rashford either.

    Martial is, at least, a pretty clinical finisher.
     
    Rashford might actually give them a lot more to think about than Big Rom. There's going to have to be a lot more balls in behind rather than lumped high
     
    Rune Bratseth, Jan Åge Fjørtoft & Morten Langli. This is great :rolleyes:
     
    I just don't understand how Mourinho could think Martial is worse than Rashford. He must be off.

    Chelsea: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Cahill (c), Rudiger, Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Bakayoko, Alonso, Hazard, Giroud.

    Subs: Caballero, Zappacosta, Chalobah, Barkley, Pedro, Willian, Morata

    Conte's packed the middle of the park. Hardly any breathing space.

    Think the first goal will be tough going. We need to pick their defense and score early to draw them out.

    And be careful of fecking Grioud.

    No. Mourinho has preferred Darmian as the bench option of late. If we're winning, I expect he'll come on for the last five minutes.

    Shaw out then? He hasn't done enough to impress obviously.

    Sandro in?
     
    Apart from Hazard they've left their more attacking players on the bench.At Wembley, i'm more than happy to see Willian and Pedro on the bench.

    Conte set up to keep it tight and hopefully sneak a 1-0 win.

    Like 100 said, Rashford is more likely to put in a shift.

    Shaw's definitely on his way. Not sure where to - maybe Everton? Will either be him or Rose who ends up there IMO.

    Tantrums? What tantrums? The guy is going into his last big payday he is entitled to ask for whatever he wants... united don't have to pay it.

    One thing you can't chuck at him is lack of professionalism.. he doesn't throw 'tantrums'
     
    4-1 to us... REALLY tricky beginning... Maurene is a final's man... Sanchez, Lindgard, Martial and a defender.

    Good luck to everyone

    Martial is also the more like for like replacement for Lukaku because he can also hold the ball up and bring others into play. We saw this plenty of times in his 1st season. There's nothing that Rashford has over Martial playing as striker.
