They'll complain about everything.
I think it's a balanced side. Young was in form before his injury and Kagawa is risky in this kind of game, he can go missing.
Lots of pace in there as well, I think we'll score here.
Anyone needed a decent river, PM me.
After seeing that line up, not only am I expecting us to lose but also to play shit. When you have young and valencia in there its hard to be positive.
Hoddle and Sourness, could Sky not find two bigger idiots?
I don't have a huge problem with Young really. I'd have put him in for Valencia so we can actually do something from the wings, Januzaj on the left and Kagawa in the middle. Not Young and Valencia on the wings, they're useless as a pair.
It's an understandable side in our current transitional period coupled with the injury crisis. From an outside perspective it's very, very average - accentuated by the fact that the two worst players in the line-up are who we rely on most due to how we play.
Rio's going for a 1-0 win, gotta love his blind faith.
Still makes me chuckle!
I fear that Oscar and Hazard will destroy us unless we are on absolute top form. I would imagine that Chelsea will dominate but they aren't the strongest in the defensive department and our best hope is hitting them on the break.
That has been my attitude for most of the season, in a weird way it's a nice feeling to have.
I've only just tuned in, but they were heaping praise on Welbeck and Januzaj. Most pundits seem to be lining up to have a shot at Welbeck. No complaints so far. I prefer both to Jamie Redknapp.
He knows the game plan, pack the midfield, defend like feck and hope to get a goal on the break.
Yes, here's exhibit a of Ashley Youngs defensive abilities.Here's him busting a gut to get back and stop Jesus Navas.
It really isn't a nice feeling. But we may have to get used to it in the coming years.
And to think we laughed at Liverpool and mocked Wenger for going 10 years without a title (and counting...)
I'm not bothered about the starting line up. I'm used to seeing Valencia and young as first choice now. Don't expect anything else. I wish we would play Kagawa and Januzaj together more often after the way they linked up last time round and given they're both technically excellent, but there's no point being annoyed given the manager sees it differently.
ok now I am up for this, have every LED light in the house on red colour. Come on United.
Come on United prove me wrong and get a win, not confident at all, would settle for a point.
Not going to follow this thread during the game, so I'll just do a few posts in advance:
Young dive
Januzaj
What a save from De Gea!
feck sake, that's Ramirez' 15th foul and he's still not booked!

We've got the united way though.
Is that Hoddle speaking now? Whoever is the doom-mongering twat is
The Young/Valencia defensive work thing is a total myth. That City game showed it and Valencia's failings against Everton and Spurs put the mark on it.
Go Vidic.
Having seen the line up im not optymistic at all. I dont know why Moyes decided to break the Kagawa -Fletcher combo.
Yeah I wouldn't have a problem with that, but playing them both which will also I think reduce Januaj's impact is annoying. But fingers crossed.
COME ON UNITED!
Yeah, i disagree with them when they said he came in and he was class in his first season. He was good but not anything special, he's stepped it up this year.
I think he can be a top player too, but as with all pundits they try and compare it to Messi and Souness talking about him and that he could be reaching Messi levels.
feck it, lets just get this over with.
Draw please.
Surprised by that too. Fletcher was excellent in the second half last week.
I'm not sure I've ever gone into a match less confident.
Blow up ref, full time!
Blow up ref, full time!
With Welbeck, Young, Valencia and Jones, we will struggle to string together many passes. That will make it very, very difficult to play a pressing side like Chelsea with a lot of passing ability in their side.
Just need to go outside and kick a tree and a couple would fall out.
One game? Funny how the season before their defensive work was a factor in beating them.
Come on! We can fecking do this.
Neville commentating!
I can't help thinking that Ramires and Luiz will kick Januzaj out of the game. Come on United!!
