Two clear weaknesses.
We know jesse can step up and normally does in bigger games, he just needs to do it consistently.

Seems a pretty fluid system, too.
Could be 4231, a diamond or 433.
Inexperienced. That game is quite important for top 4.Surprised Kante and Pulisic aren't starting, Chelsea are there for the taking today. Really hope we get our tactics right.
Physicality is his main weakness, he is quite small and weak but he offers more running than Mata and decent creativity.
Lingard. Ole's "Jesse" must play. And on the right wing. Again and again and again.
Chong, Gomes, Greenwoid, James, Sanchez all available but Jesse plays again.
Btw, the rest of the lineup is goid. I like itHappy to see Tuanzebe on the bench ahead of Jones and Smalling. On the flip side of it, makes the other CBs look pretty bad
The window is closed in China so not this season. Maybe America.Who's on the bench? Missed that part.
I’m going 4-2-3-1
Lingard on the right with Pereira in the number 10 position. Martial as the striker with Rashford on the left.OK Pereira, first thing's first you need to run your nads off, hassle and harry with the team, and play sharp accurate passes.That Chelsea team looks terrible, tbh.
No Giroud, Kante, Pulisic, Willian, Alonso or Rudiger in the starting XI.
You also can’t go with James, Greenwood on the bench you need some experience in Mata.That Chelsea team looks very weak without hazard and Kante.
Honestly we should be winning this comfortably.
Sanchez isn't available. Lingard. Ole's "Jesse" must play. And on the right wing. Again and again and again.
Chong, Gomes, Greenwoid, James, Sanchez all available but Jesse plays again.
Btw, the rest of the lineup is goid. I like itAcademy midfield15:27Richard Fay
United's formation will be interesting
The team news will be with us shortly, but it probably won’t be until kick-off that we discover who is leading the line for United today.
Martial and Rashford both impressed as No.9’s during pre-season and there should be healthy competition between the two to lead the attack this afternoon.
United’s fluid front three means that a designated striker isn’t necessarily a big issue, but both will be eager to establish themselves as the go-to man following Lukaku’s departure.
Hopefully, we'll see some interchanging between them.
Agreed, but he is not good enough in my opinion. I hope he proves me wrong.
He has not stepped up consistently for about 4 years, now. What makes anybody think that he will do so at his age?
Basically, the standard that he has set for himself during the last few years, is his standard. Don't expect any miracles.
BTW. he has been chosen because he runs a lot and is good in a press. He has good energy levels that few of our players have.
Has to be because of his willingness to press like mad. His end product is non-existent but he does exactly what the manager asks. Ole was always going to like him. Lingard. Ole's "Jesse" must play. And on the right wing. Again and again and again.
Chong, Gomes, Greenwoid, James, Sanchez all available but Jesse plays again.
Btw, the rest of the lineup is goid. I like it
I think it will be a 3 man midfield. Pereira on the right of the 3. Lingard in behind Rashford and Martial. A diamond of sorts. Pereira was used as the presser when he playedIt's the most obvious team except for Pereira in for James which is an odd call imo.
No Matic and Mata is great news though.Lingard will start out at #10, Pereira at right-wing.
But the whole front 4 will be interchanging at various points. Lingard. Ole's "Jesse" must play. And on the right wing. Again and again and again.
Chong, Gomes, Greenwoid, James, Sanchez all available but Jesse plays again.
Btw, the rest of the lineup is goid. I like it
Keyboard struggling to make a double o there?
But yeah, so far Lingard seems to be the "my captain shall always play" for Ole.We should look to upgrade on Lingard and Pereira.Shows you how buggered our transfer window was when we're going through players we know for a fact aren't good enough, Pereira, Matic, Mata and Lingard, and basically having to start half of them every game.
How long will Ole's Lingard delusion last I wonder..Good lineup, I would have liked Gomes to get a spot on the bench, but other than that I'm pretty happy.re: Pereira. His corners have been great pre-season and with slabhead in the team, they could be lethal
I’m not sure who people expect to start ahead of Lingard? Like it or not, he’ll be one of the first names on the team sheet this season. He often was under both Van Gaal and Mourinho. Southgate, too, infact.
I quite like the team actually. Which usually means we get beat. Regardless, it’s full of running.Alexis just came from injury or?
Oh no.
He's not weak at all.Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham starting for Chelsea.
Zouma playing at the back.Was toying between Fred and Pereira but typically went with Fred to miss out on a perfect starting XI prediction.
That's probably as good as we can get to be fair. No Matic is a bonus and the Chuckle Brothers not even on the bench so I'm happy with that.
United XI to face Chelsea: De Gea (c), Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, McTominay, Pogba, Pereira, Lingard, Rashford, Martial
Bench: Romero, Tuanzebe, Young, James, Mata, Matic, GreenwoodOle just confirmed that we are playing a front 4.
how's anybody surprised about this? they barely played preseason and ole remembers their half ass effort against cardiff city in the finale.
That's equally as likely to happen. I'm hoping they interchange a lot.
I think it'll be 4-2-3-1 too. I just couldn't be assed fiddling about
I hope so too.Looks decent, I was worried Mata and Matic would start so I’m pretty happy.
That Chelsea team though.....fecking hell, maybe they turn up and blow us out of the water but on paper it must be the weakest Chelsea squad in 15 years.- Status
