Blind, Fellaini and Mata is quite possibly the slowest and least mobile midfield three ever. Not confident to say the least.
What is that - 4-1-2-1-1-1?A little underwhelmed by the lineup, but injuries are limiting the options. RVP, Mata & Januzai were horrible last week, so hopefully they pull out a good display today.
Today, with only one available striker is why we should have held on to Welbeck or Hernandez.
It's not poor, but it's weak in key positions.
No, but it might encourage our players to put in a great performance!
People are forgetting that Costa suddenly became so integral to Chelsea. As though we are going against Real Madrid or something.
I predict a boring draw...Van der SarSome of you might remember this team that played Chelsea in January 2009. Before the game everyone was bemoaning the side we put out with no Ferdinand and a midfield of Giggs and Fletcher with Berbatov playing over Tevez.
Neville Vidic Evans Evra
Ronaldo, Fletcher Giggs Park
Berbatov Rooney
It was a tactical masterstroke by Fergie (3-0) and we all looked very silly for doubting him. Let's hope Van Gaal is right too
It's the best lineup we could have have sent today. With Rooney suspended, Falcao, Jones, Evans, Valencia injured and Carrick, Herrera still unfit, you couldn't have hoped for a better lineup.
Our problem is injuries. No idea what the hell is going on. It has been crazy since 2007 but this year seems even worse.
with all the injuries we have what team did you expect out, what difference does it make how much money was spent .Some of the comments here are crazy...what the f, 150 million we've spent have to do with this lineup...
Come on, it's far from 'poor'. That's a good side on paper, people seem to just be in utter doom and gloom today due to the opposition and the fact that 2 fan favourites are not playing (because they're injured).fecking hell, no Costa dontr fancy us to score with Drogba leading the lines.. going for a 0-0 draw
That's obscene.Let me see if I have this right: No Rooney, no Falcao, no Herrera and no Jones against the top team in the league.
LvG, resist your urge to play an open game and have the boys defend for their lives.
And yes, do habve the boys send in a few crosses into the minotaur whose name is Marouane Fellaini!
I may be wrong but I think City;'s goal difference was +6. If we had held it to 3-1, difference would have been equal (did they score more than us?)Excited as hell but Mata and especially RVP have been fecking SHITE lately. Undroppable? Come on United. Have me regret this post RVP and MataYou can really tell last season traumatised some of our fans when we're starting with Di Maria, Mata, van Persie and people are moaning.Why are people moaning about the people hating so much? You should know by now how pathetically embarrassing our match day threads are.fecking hell, no Costa
I reckon Drogba will be up for it.You look at our attack and think, on their day they could hurt anyone, but I'm not sure if there's going to be enough protection for the defence, especially in the midfield. Having Mata in there worries me. I would have personally put in Herrera for Mata, but apart from that, I think it's a pretty good line-up that could potentially change in the game.
I take it we'll start off with a 4123:
That could potentially change to:
De Gea
Rafael - Smalling - Rojo - Shaw
Blind
Fellaini - Mata
Januzaj - Van Persie - Di Maria
De Gea
Rafael - Smalling - Rojo - Shaw
Blind
Fellaini - Di Maria
Mata
Januzaj - Van Persiefecking hell, no Costa dontr fancy us to score with Drogba leading the lines.. going for a 0-0 draw
did you put a bet on chelsea winning?.......
He'll never fulfill his potential if he continues to get injured after every three matches, we need a reliable defender and he isnt by any means.I wasn't being serious, I just don't think we should get rid of such a promising young player because he's suffered from injury so much
what should he of done , ring up City and ask to borrow a couple of players or maybe pluck some from his arse, we have a ton of injuries and we have to deal with it.
No it's the performances of Mata and RVP of the last few weeks which is causing the moaning
Only surprise would have been if Torres' loan had been ended and he tipped up too and score three!At least Chelsea have a weakened team

That game,
First time my Chelsea supporting brother in law watched a game at my house, I enjoyed it more than one could believe.
He might well be but hes 36. We are in a worse striking position than we were last season so no way will Jose be going for the win.Reminders - English language board only; No Caps-lock only posts.
Here on in expect warnings given as and when such posts are seen by staff.
Undroppable isn't the case here, we genuinely have no one else.Can understand Fellaini starting. We need his height for defending set pieces. Plus his confidence is up.
But I would have dropped Mata rather than Herrera.
Based on what some people are saying here, I assume that they wont bother watching considering how shit they believe we've lined up.
So called,dick formation.
Good point. It is very one dimensional, and neither Mata and Fellaini are really good in CM imo. I also think we will suffer defensively because of it. Blind will have a lot to cover for them imo.How many ahead do we need to be for anyone here to feel confident of three points (let's say at the 60-minute stage). For me, need to be at least three up to feel even close to safe!Matchday thread pessimism or not, I'm fecking pumped for this one. First time in a while I've had such a high heart rate prior to kick off.
If I was a scouser I'd be down the tattoo shop getting 'WE GO AGAIN' tattood on my arse and taking selfies of myself crying with emotion for the forthcoming match. But I'm from Cornwall, so I'm just going to put the kettle on and wait for the match.- Status
