I dislike this starting XI, cant really understand why James has to be a starter and why tf Tuanzebe is not given a run of games

Chelsea's lineup looks way stronger on paper.
That's arguable; he's been as big a liability at the back as anyone this season. Sure, he's had a few decent games, but so have the rest.I'd much rather see Greenwood for James otherwise it's what you would expect currently.I had Pogba and Greenwood starting.
He’s a United player now, so safe to say he “has a small knock”.It beat Newcastle....not sure that's enough to start against Chelsea.
I like the shape but Greenwood for James for me.Dan James.
I'd be happy if James never played ever again. Yet here he is playing against Chelsea.Stupid stupid line up.
Im guessing subs will be Greenwood, Cavani and Pogba but 4-2-3-1 doesnt work for us at all.
You either go 3 at the back or diamond/4-2-2-2.Why the feck Ole is that obsessed with 4231 formation. Give it up man, ffs. And with James. What is use of him while you have all that excellent players on the bench?
I don't get this, really i don'tWe'll look at it this way, if we're losing we can always bring on stronger players
I am ok with the side. That midfield 3 is the most important at the minute and they are playing well together.I don't know how I feel. My initial instinct is that James shouldn't be starting this game. A little disappointed not to see more of Telles and the Van De Beek not starting situation seems to be carrying on. My brain tells me switching James with Van De Beek would be the thing to do.
Don't have too much of an issue with the Fred/McTominay/Fernandes part, and Mata has looked great recently, so I think he's played himself into the starting 11.
We'll see. I'm not being negative and I don't feel that it's a negative lineup. Just, maybe not 100% what I was/we were looking for.2 very defensive looking lineups with is going to be a borefest isn’t itThe thing is that team didn't beat Newcastle, we weren't winning until we'd made the changes. The changes won the game, not the starting team.Chelsea gone with a back 5Really didn’t think we’d see Mata start in a big 6 league game again. His in form but I’m not confident with him in this kind of game. I would have gone with 352.I dont mind the line-up, minor James. McTom and Fred thoroughly deserve to start.Look's like we've fallen into the trap of thinking Mata is useful in the PL again after one decent game. Hope he proves me wrong.The thing with Axel on the bench is we are back to no recovery pace and the fridge, and Chelsea are not Newcastle, they have some real quick, technically talented forwards.So many haters in here... You can give criticism without being rude an hateful.
Happy with the selection. We got now a squad where we can leave players out that would be starters in other teams. With Cavani and Greenwood getting into the team, someone must miss out. No worries about Mata and James. Both were very good against Newcastle and coming in with confidence.James will be subbed at half time hopefully.
Mata was absolutely immense agains Newcastle, so I don't know why you are complaining. Deserved a start against PSG but most likely needed to sit out since his legs can't take playing games with such a short notice between them.
I agree about James though, Telles should be on the bench and Maguire does not deserve starting.
9/11. I like to play fair unlike you who gets into top 5 every year by solely relying on leaks.very harsh on tuanzebeUrgh no, don't like it at all.Who else is he gonna play?
Can we expect Tuanzebe to play two games in a few days after being out for 10 months?
I said going down the undroppable route. Of course he's going to have to come in and start but he certainly shouldn't be the first name on the team sheet.
That team is a bit lightweight but thankfully the bench is very strong.
But those 2 can keep the ball, they did v Newcastle. If anything the passing will be too safe but they can do it.
We'll see I suppose
Might have been a last minute thing.No Telles is the least controversial choice in the lineup.
And we play with McT and James? I would say quite opposite. That we will let them play and try with direct balls on Rash and James2nd half we should go for the kill. Greenwood should come on at half time, then Pogba in 60th minute. For James and Mata.
That will be our strongest line up.
No comment on Tuanzebe not playing. Disagree with it but whatever. feck off. The year I won it I didn't rely on leaks.Mata has at least performed this season even if he doesn't suit this type of game imo. James though has done absolutely fecking nothing to start in a game of this magnitude. This isn't Newcastle. Big OGS defender but he'll be deservedly panned if this doesn't work
So did PSG's squad.
Teams win games and I really fancy us for this one.
Might be a cagey start but I'd go 2-1 Utd.Telles not even on the bench when he's better than Shaw
YOu realise we have another CL match on Wed?Well first time in a while we look like we have a really strong bench. Shame I can't say the same for the starting lineup.Weird that there's no Telles today even on the bench ? Expected Greenwood to start too. Otherwise, decent overall team.- Status
