    This forum is obsessed with fatigue, a series of changes yet still it's not enough rotation. I was hoping for our strongest eleven, so few games to go.

    Yeah people assume its fatigue because last two games we've played poor, but i think its mostly down to pressure, mental tiredness maybe.

    We have been shitting our collective pants at most line ups in the last 7 years and not much good happened. :angel:
     
    Chelsea taking the same approach as us. Not their best team but still enough first team players in there to cause problems.

    This looks like it could be pretty close. Our recent form and Bruno starting will edge though
     
    We can always rest Bruno against WH. Hard to see us winning by a big margin because of last performences

    Lets see what happens in the last 20 minutes of the Spurs game. Another goal and we could effectively wrap it up with a 2/3 goal win on Wednesday.

    WH game decides will we need against Leicester win, draw or even minimum loss. So that game against WH is crucial. Having said that, i would play best 11 today and against WH

    Looks like we will play like we did vs Spurs after the Dubai training camp last season. Park the bus but with very fast counter attack when we break out, hence why we have James.

    the only issue is Rashford isn’t great as a target man, and Igalo would have been a better choice, with Rashford in James place.

    lots of options from the bench to change formation or tactics as the game demands, but if all goes to plan, then pogba/Bruno, Martial/Rashford, Lingard/James and McT/Matic are all like for like substitutes without lowering quality of team too much.

    We played with spilt strikers on the break that day, Igahlo isn't really suited for that like James/Rashford/Martial.

    I agree on Ighalo. He would be a good pick for a focal point.

    I suspect we are looking to actually attack wide behind R. James and Alonso with Rashford and D. James though.
     
    I respect all coaches decisions prior the game. He decided to rest some players and decided to change system. But James in attack is mistake. I get that he wants speed in attack but James as striker is useless
     
    Both teams set up to play counter attack, we have no one that can hold the ball up in the final third though.
     
    Looks like a sit back and counter game plan, why change a good thing if Chelsea can't handle it?
     
    The end of Match of the Day opening credits they showed a picture of City lifting the cup and the commentator said "the world's greatest c#nt"!!!! I played it back twice to check I wasn't going mad

     
    Let's hope this will be good enough for a 1-0 steal.

    Our chances lie on Rashford doing something good, or Ighalo stealing a PK.

    Second half bring on the big guns whatever the result.

    We need to win today!
     
    Don't get the obsession with fatigue especially when we have good back ups on the bench. If Bruno gets tjred we bring in Pogba. If Awb gets tired we bring in TFM. If Rashford gets tired we bring in Martial. If Matic gets tired we bring in Mctominay
