Deserves its own thread, what now? Feck.
------ Fellaini
Mkhi - Mata - Lingard
Oh god.
Mkhi - Mata - Lingard
Oh god.
feck off Chelsea, for once they get a tough draw and we have all our CFs out injured 
How definite is this?
Oh dear,it was a huge ask without Ibra and our forwards out also now,going to need own goal to step up for us then..
We've got Ashley Young :-)
Haha, this could only happen to us and Arsenal.
Ah well, with this and fixture congestion we'll atleast have our excuses handy for the inevitable result against Chelski.
Time for some fecked up line up.
You can't make this up. 
That is amazing. How did martial get injured, he was playing on thursday? I say we play mkhitaryan as a false 9 nine with lingard and mata on either side.
Planned absences, I ask myself ?
Mata up front?

Valencia Bailly Smalling Shaw
Herrera Pogba
Mata Mkhitaryan Young

Think Mourinho will prefer a big brute.
Rashford may be ill but its he still has 24 hrs to recover.
Mkhi as a false 9 for me. Lingard and Mata either side

Good excuse for Mourinho to play boring football without the media outrage he got after Liveroool away
Mata as 'striker', he's better at finishing than Martial, Rooney and Rashford anyway.
As hilarious and painful as it is, that's probably a realistic shout
Must be 10 times now this season Rooney has been injured/ill.
Bad news for England as well. Kane, Rooney, Rashford all out.
I'm having a hard time believing this because of how sudden it is, and frankly how horrendous it sounds.
Been a while since I've seen the "are you sure you want to select 6 midfielders" popup in the team selection thing. I'm guessing Felli plays as his trademark False 9?
Any center forwards in the academy who can play? Otherwise I'd go 3-5-2 and use Ashley Young with Mkhitaryan upfront.

I've always wanted us to try that whole false 9 thing with Mata. I think his movement and finishing could be quite interesting in that role.
Yeah, it could be promising. Maybe both him and Mkhi in some sort of partnership.
Oh wow, we really are done.
Mods - Should merge this with the match thread !
No thanks. More people will see it here and it warrants a separate discussion.
We are so fecked
Like he would ever do that,put his trust in some young player from academy. Hell,people here are in full "false nine" mode.Take the L
How reliable is Simon stone? Anyone else said the same thing?
Well he works for the BBC so I would say pretty reliable
Doubt this will be the case come tomorrow tonight.
If it is; however, I would expect to see something like:
De Gea
Bailly Smalling Rojo
Valencia Herrera Fellaini Shaw
Mata Mkhitaryan Pogba

Huge bit of wishful thinking there.
If he's ill, he's ill-end of. No need to risk it and if it's viral,he won't play for a few days.
I think it may be:
Fellaini
Lingard- Mkhi
Herrera-Pogba-Carrick
Shaw-Bailly-Smalling/Rojo-Valencia

We can't win every trophy and it's becoming obvious that the fixtures have taken their toll.
Reckon Mkhitaryan will play False 9 like Hazard did several times under Jose.
Mkhi or Mata as false 9 please. Don't think I could stomach Fellaini up top.
