Correction, Chelsea have far better ‘coached’ players. On ability there’s not much in it, in fact we probably edge it.A good line up for me but Chelsea have far better players, even a draw looks unrealistic
Lukaku on the bench for them
Bruno as false 9 surely?Sancho off Rashford could be a variant? It’s Rashford through the middle anyway, I don’t see how that’s not the case
Absolutely screams of Carrick/McKenna making a statement that they were handcuffed with Ronaldo. They’re scapegoating him.
Good team. Carrick not having to worry about politics of his team selections.
So why did he play midweek then?Absolutely screams of Carrick/McKenna making a statement that they were handcuffed with Ronaldo. They’re scapegoating him.

Was thinking the same. I know they're in lethal form right now, but on paper that's hardly something to be starstruck aboutThat looks piss poor to be honest

Could see this. Allows them to drift into the areas that the WBs leave behind. Makes more senseCould be Bruno as a false 9, with Sancho and Rashford in the wide areas.

What did you want? Another McFred midfield duo getting completely outnumbered and outplayed while our forward line spends entire game without touching the ball? This at least has some hope that we will have a bit of the ball in the game. If we manage to do anything with it or not is a different question but it's an interesting lineup.How is that a good team?

Or maybe he's just being rested?Absolutely screams of Carrick/McKenna making a statement that they were handcuffed with Ronaldo. They’re scapegoating him.
who would you have instead?No issue with the line up, but how mctominay still keeps starting for us is fast becoming a joke.
More likely to be:
Rashford Sancho
.........Bruno
Fred............Scott
..........Matic
He is a willing runner, unlike most of the team. That's about it.McFred again. Fred performed well against Villarreal so no complaints there, but WTF is this fascination with McTominay? He’s been abysmal all season.
