Really not liking Fellaini in the centre, especially with Fabregas and Oscar roaming around and its a shame about Falcao he's got a great record against Chelsea but im still quietly confident.

Good to know thanks.Just remembered MUTVs predicted lineup was almost true except for Jones.
Not exactly like Fabregas or Matic are road runners. They're also slow.I'll take a 2-1 defeat today. But with our defence is probably going to get a lot uglier. Shame its sunday today because now would be a perfect start to drink.After seeing that line up.. now i'm scared.
They did outscore us.
Nope. QPR match thread had 42 pages (also Sunday 4pm kick-off).Glad Costa is out that's a huge difference which gives us a decent chance. Was expecting it to be mind games.
Disappointed with the line up looks like the same as last week which will be too light in midfield in my opinion. Would have stated any of the extra midfielders on the bench for Mata. Let Fellaini roam behind RVP so we're covered when he wandersI have £500 on United to win this at 3.00, the odds are way too good for me to pass up so obviously this just means we are going to lose. Would be great if we can win though, the money could come in handy for my early xmas shopping. Oh come on United.Annoying to see Van Persie instead of Falcao. But Dutch love the Dutch I suppose.Seriously, we should be able to deal with an old Drogba.
Hazard and Oscar on the other hand can cause problems. Need to cut off the supply Fab will look to supply for them.We will lose.
and none are in a good run of form...
In no particular order 2-1-4-2-1-1
So we need to spam a few more pages.
We have no choice seeing as the latter is out injured.
feck me pal, you've got some cast iron ballsInteresting selection. With Drogba being chosen, Smalling playing may actually be a benefit, I wouldn't have trusted Jones in the air. We can switch to the diamond if necessary also. Good to see 3 youth products on the bench in Blackett, Pereira and Wilson. A bit disappointed to see Herrera only make the bench, but that would have made the formation less flexible so I can understand that decision. Still not making any prediction, I just want to watch the game and (hopefully) enjoy it.
Or you know, Falcao is injured...
Drogba seems to get extra joy making US suffer unfortunately
So you reckon that LVG injured him?4141 again:

Falcao is injured.
With Falcao injured and Rooney suspended it's pretty difficult to drop RVP. If everyone was fit, I'd have dropped them both but given the current players available, we're left with little choice.
I'm revoking your staff member privilages you pessimist. You're fired.I hope that Fellaini will make me look like a fool. even moreGuys stop with the pessimism you will not lose. We have a 36 year old drogba up front which I am rather pissed about which basically eliminates any chance we have of playing for the win. Depends on if you can break us down.Anyone know if McNair is still injured?Still 90 minutes to go....we still have a chance to get something from this game.
Falcao picked up a knock, nothing to do with RVP being dutch. The only other option available to us is Wilson.Wow, just got here and it seems we've lost already!Think it's important that, if they are any goals in this game, we score the first. Chelsea are very good at sitting back and hitting teams on the counter when leading.
Exactly. The caf is obsessed with "mobility" in CM where in reality the best CMs of the last decade haven't been very athletic. See Pirlo, Scholes, Xavi still doing the business well into their mid 30s.
Yep, lots of exaggeration. Herrera and Carrick injured or not fit so replaced by Fellani, rather him that Fletcher, Anderson. Valencia injured so choice was Adnan or Young, Adnan got the call, let's hope he improves. Jones injured so he uses Smalling. And Falcao injured so he isn't in team. Rooney suspended so we have Mata.
So hardly, LVG deliberately putting out a side that isn't the preferred choice of many.
We were going to be up against it anyway when you look at their midfield, but I still fancy us keeping Drogba at bay. I just hope Jose does his usual too much respect for the big teams, and doesn't go all out.
Head has always said, Chelsea to shade it, Heart will always say United. Today, I hope I have a brainfart and the heart rules.
Falcao is injured, RVP being Dutch has nothing to do with it...
Damn, beaten to it
Only after he's done making himself look that way
Fecking Van Gaal. He lied on the press conference about Falcao's injury, obviously.
He probably is alright but won't play today cause Van Gaal just doesn't fancy him.
Rooney is suspended, Falcao is injured as is Jones, yet again. Herrera is not fully fit and LvG wanted a bit more physicality against Chelsea.- Status
