It's a shite team and people are quite rightly calling a spade a spade.And Spurs hoping for help
Good, Jose is prioritising the Europa league as he should. Smart move.No idea how but I got 9/11. Of my subs chosen, max I'll get is one point for Carrick if he comes on... Martial not in squad and Fellaini starts.Shite team picked. Will lose easily. José will say we have too many games and had to rest our best two attacking players. Get the excuses in early.
Both Carrick and Fellaini will be a liability in this match so I don't like the idea of defending against them as we don't have the midfield to do it. Better to play on our strength and attack.Hahaha line up is a fecking joke, feck off Jose.
Although with Hazard on our right, it would make sense for Herrera to drop there, so he could kick him a little more.I don't get all the hate. Rashford, Lingard and Young have been our most in-form attackers for a while. Mourinho's picked a team on merit rather than reputation.
Fellaini's in there as a spoiler to try and counteract Kante. Carrick's obviously a better player, but he'd get eaten up by Chelsea's midfield. There's a clear strategy to the XI.
Sometimes I think Jose is taking the piss.Jose giving up on the league to focus on EL. Hopefully it doesn't backfire.Not altogether surprising as Zlatan admitted to being tired on Thursday. It's a team primed to contain hazard and play in the counter.I'm looking at the lineup... where are the forwards?No Martial no Shaw. YOUNG CAPTAIN?? Pathetic line-up.Never thought I would see the day Manchester United would be parking the bus at Old Trafford.Put the £340 i had left at my bookie on Chelsea, that team looks very weak.
He didFergie played 7 defenders against Arsenal (Evra, Vidic, Brown, Smalling, Fabia, Rafael, Oshea)
But turned out to be all out attack and worked a treat on the day
Loved that game
Not even gonna bother watching. If we aren't even going to make an effort to win, why should I waste my time watching it?Jose arguably put out a stronger team in the FA Cup fourth round against Wigan:
Romero, TFM, Smalling, Rojo, Shaw, Fellaini, Mata, BFS, Rooney, Mickey, Martial.
With this team putting pressure on the Europa League will only make them more likely to choke when they see it as their only route into next seasons CL.What the feck is that team....seriously.
Fellaini through the middle with Young and Lingard out wide...this is gonna be one tedious as feck game.Dreadful line-up as expected. We're going all in on the EL and if we feck that up Mourinho will have to take the blame.The state of that line up15:06SAMUEL LUCKHURST
Pogba to the left
So Luke Shaw was, as suspected, one of the deliberate errors and it is Young who not only starts but skippers United.
You would imagine Darmian will be playing as one of the three centre halves with Valencia and Young the wing-backs. Pogba could play more to the left than usual given it’s a three-man midfield with a heavy emphasis on the wing-backs. Lingard might have a wandering role behind Rashford but it will be fascinating to see what shape exactly United line up in.
Real lineup please.We haven't beaten Chelsea in 12 games. Wow. With the team we've put out, it's unlikely it'll stop at 12.I guess we're losing today.
But Fergie will not play 3 at the back just because he scared of the opposition playing 3 at the back. I'm sick of this weak, negative and reactive tactics.Fergie played 7 defenders against Arsenal (Evra, Vidic, Brown, Smalling, Fabia, Rafael, Oshea)
Tis true , I had broke in to the top 100 after the last match
Where's the quote where he calls them defensive?
We'll win this!at least there is a cohesive strategy today. Jose is better like this. Clear gameplan. Team is set up to counter.No Mikhi?
Is Jose even trying to win this game?
If our remaining fixtures were all relegation fodder then it'd make sense. Realistically we need to win every single game we have left, it's not going to happen.
Here's what we do: put out a full strength side against Chelsea. Mhiki gets injured, Zlatan is exhausted, we draw 2-2 against Anderlecht and get knocked out, then finish 5th in the league anyway. Would it be worth it?
You should have a look at the numbers Young has put up in those three seasons if you think he's been inspirational or a leader at all.
The pressure is already there, anyone looking at our fixtures thinking we are going to make top 4 is dreaming.
It's 2 players away from being our strongest team
After he just posted a 'match day' update on facebook. Hope Jose at least explained to him.
