Very attacking, going for the win it seems.
Good, a draw is not a good result in the long run, must win.

Jepp no idea what Jose is doing. It is like that game against Spurs away last season. They fecked us and then he returned to being super negative and that allowed Sevilla to beat us.Young vs Hazard. Hes going to need help.
Came back from international duty at 11pm on Thursday.Looks like an idiot lineup from here, just play all the attack. Going to get battered.attacking team....fair play Jose but maybe misguided
let's hope the players are on it and Pogba/Matic are disciplined
Young will need to be at the top of his game v HazardMata needs to drop on Jorginho and disrupt his rhythm. Then we need to play and be ruthless in the final third.What formation is this?Two in midfield effectively, that's risky against Hazard. I wonder what Mourinho's plan is. Maybe press their slightly dodgy defenders with quick forwards and see if we can force mistakes? Id have thought we would play Lingard for that.
I thought Sanchez retired from international duty?We should create some good chances today. Chelsea's defence isn't great so we when the chances arrive we have to be there. If we ever needed to be clinical it's a big game like this.
Aye, no real balance in that side. Midfield looks very fragile.Wouldn't be surprised if Rashford plays as 10 to put pressure on Jorginho.Are we supposed to win the midfield battle with Matic, Pogba, Mata vs Kovacic, Kante and Jorginho? Interesting..No qualms about the team. If we are going to get beat at least try winning and lose. Not be super negative and yet still fail.
Nah he just hasn’t joined up with them much this year. He was selected in August but pulled out to concentrate on his fitness.Matic and Mata in midfield, this could be a long afternoon.
The idea I guess is to put pressure on their back line and stop them from playing out of the back. We can nullify their midfield in that way. But let's see.Attacking lineup, good! Let's smash them (hopefully)Damn it, when I heard Fellaini didn’t travel I almost put Mata in but thought he’d go Herrera if fit.
Intresting team, only really one way to play this game and go for it from the looks of that line up. Weirdly gutted Fellaini isn’t available, would fancy his chest control and height up against Chelsea.
I would of picked Pereira instead of Mata - far more agile and robust with good technique.Strange that Lindelof is playing , but it is also strange that we have someone as Smalling and strange that Alexis is out .
Many strange things , as Barkley and Giroud out .Mata chasing shadows against that midfield? Ahm oot.I'm still backing Jose to turn this around but what the feck is this lineup?!Team might only be attacking on paper. Means squat if we don't press. Hopefully we do and force a few mistakes.
That's exactly itI think the balance is wrong. I would take Lukaku out for Fred or Herrera and play on the break with Martial and Rashford. Hope I’m wrong.
Hopefully Jose’s identified something with the Chelsea set-up that nobody else has yetNo idea how to feel about that. Confused perhaps?Feck it, we are shit and were probably going to lose anyway. We always struggle at the Bridge and they are much better than we are both in regards to personnel and performances right now. So just fecking go for it, which seems to be what we are doing.Kepa

de GeaOur £50m midfield signing can't get a game.
You can't be attacking without pressing now? Such nonsenseFair play to the boss, if you're gonna go out, at least do it fighting. Second half v. Newcastle and now that team selection!Mourinho should be backed so he can sign more key players like Fred.Our front three need to step up today, Mata should give them some better service than they’ve been getting lately. We need to play a lot of minutes in the Chelsea half in this game otherwise we will get stuffed.
He won’t even be close the the shadows.
Imagine dropping Mata after the last match
No this team is set up to attack. We can't sit back and invite pressure with players like Matic and Mata in midfield. We must press. If we wanted to play counter attack Fred or Herrera would've started.
The attacking players aren't going to be much if they don't find themselves in good positions on the other side of the pitch. We can't allow them to dominate the ball endlessly.- Status
