[Tom Van Persie]

Exactly. I'd rather have Carrick behind Herrera and Pogba. And how can he leave Mhki out it just makes no sense.

Rested for EL on Thursday would be my guess. It's the priority now.

 

[Godfather]

I love this, all the hate for the team, for Jose, all the negativity, usually equals winning a game, so keep hating everything and everyone.

Ppl said this before the Everton game. We didn't win. We played as expected from most

 

[el3mel]

People would still find reason to moan, like , José had no intention of winning with that line up ect, he got lucky blah blah.

Yep and I can't argue that this won't happen

 

[PlayerOne]

Worried about us creating enough chances to score. We'll see what Jose has in mind, hope he has a trick up his sleeve

 

[Tom Van Persie]

The same people chucking a hissy fit about the line up are the same that would whinge about players looking tired on thursday.

The team needs to be thoroughly rotated. We have a game today, thursday and Sunday. Who are these magic world class squad players that jose should be selecting? This is the fecking squad, are we are bitching because he's using them?

Well said!

 

[Shark]

People can talk how it's logical for Jose to put all of his eggs in the Europa basket all they want, but the reality is, we've finished below that Liverpool side, and there ls a good chance that Arsenal side could end up finishing above us too.

Is that really good enough??

 

[Grylte]

Win the Europa league and Leicester wins the European cup...it could happen

Then we are out of the champions league

If we win EL, we're in the CL no matter what happens to the other teams.

 

[Ixion]

Downing tools in the league because we need all the help we can get to beat Anderlect at Old Trafford. What a joke.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Win the Europa league and Leicester wins the European cup...it could happen

Then we are out of the champions league

No. The side who finish 4th will be out of the CL. Us and Leicester would be in.

 

[Godfather]

Good to see the guy that cost us three points against Anderlecht starting again today

 

[Borden]

I think Jose has now conceded that scoring goals at OT is a pipe dream.
It's better to go for 0-0 and focus on the Europa League.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

We have wasted some serious money in the last 4 years haven't we?

Deary fecking me

It balances out if we win the EL though. Two trophies in Jose's first season is good enough for me.

 

[led_scholes]

Jose has a free pass, rightfully, this year but if he continues playing Lingard, Young and Fellaini next year he can blame Martial, Shaw etc but he only has himself to blame if he will get fired, and he will. There is no way we will progress with these kind of players.

 

[Irrational.]

If we don't concede in the first 30 seconds, then this line-up will have been justified.

 

[Name Changed]

It's 2 players away from being our strongest team

If that's 2 players away from our strongest team then things are much worse than I though.

 

[MadMike]

No idea how but I got 9/11. Of my subs chosen, max I'll get is one point for Carrick if he comes on... Martial not in squad and Fellaini starts.

Basking in the glory of 7/11 here.

Long ball from Fellaini to rashford 1-0 and then close the game with 8 defenders, best case scenario.

I give that about as much chance as me landing EuroMillions. What is it? Something like 4 billion/1?

It's a 6-3-1 that will become a 8-1-1 for the majority of the match.

Or that

 

[Randall Flagg]

If Zlatan is tired, it's the right move

I'm disappointed shaw isn't starting. Miki should be too

But I'm not as angry at the line up as most of you

 

[Chip]

Oh jesus.
That line up is crazy. Comes out saying "we're man utd, we try to win everything" then starts games against his old club, who he should be motivated against, with a full on mid table team selection. Pretty sure Jose normally ups his game against people chasing the titles when he's out of the race too.

This. If I were a Spurs fan, I'd be fuming seeing that line-up.

 

[sullydnl]

Might as well go all in on EL given we're not playing like a top four team.

That lineup though. Christ.

 

[MadMike]

If that's 2 players away from our strongest team then things are much worse than I though.

Things are much worse than you thought.

 

[Ivor Ballokov]

There's only one thing worse than the people complaining about the line-up, and that's people complaining about the people complaining about the line-up.

What I hate is the people complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining

 

[DomesticTadpole]

It balances out if we win the EL though. Two trophies in Jose's first season is good enough for me.

If we do that I will be really happy. He is taking one hell of a risk though.

 

[manufanatic]

My only concern is will the players play for the shirt today. If they give it all then regardless of the result no issues.

 

[Janson]

It's a 6-3-1 that will become a 8-1-1 for the majority of the match.

That will become 10-0-0 for the last half hour.

 

[GrandJury]

He really isn't though. Pure bullshit.

Oh what is he resting our top goal scorer for then?

 

[prath92]

Not score?

Yup.

 

[JonDahl]

What are people worried about? We will win today - comfortably at that.

 

[mu4c_20le]

If Zlatan is tired, it's the right move

I'm disappointed shaw isn't starting. Miki should be too

But I'm not as angry at the line up as most of you

This. I guess Shaw must be rested for the u21s or something.

 

[Grylte]

Looking forward to seeing Rojo vs Costa, one will be sent off, i'm sure.

My guess is that Mourinho wants quick attackers and try to run at Cahill, and attacking players with hard work rate, to make it hard for Chelsea to play out from the defense.

 

[evra]

It's matching them 343 no?

 

[Shuriken]

It just doesn't make any sense since we're still mathematically in the race for top-4 and our next match is also at home, meaning no travel.

Even if we make it to the EL final, it's incredibly risky to think it's a given that we'll win that one. It's one single match, where it doesn't take much to fail.

 

[RedCurry]

State of that lineup..

I am guessing that if we are still level at 60 minute mark, we'll bring Zlatan and Mhiki to try and snatch the game.

But god, this is going to be boring.

 

[manufanatic]

No. The side who finish 4th will be out of the CL. Us and Leicester would be in.

Cool thanks?

 

[PlayerOne]

Good to see the guy that cost us three points against Anderlecht starting again today

Mou has his favourites and Fellaini is one of them

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Good to see the guy that cost us three points against Anderlecht starting again today

I've defended Jose a lot this season, I've mostly taken his side on the 50/50 decisions.

His weird fecking obsession with Fellaini is infuriating. Everyone else seems to be held accountable to bad mistakes or poor games except for him. Even Rooney! Fellaini though can be as shite and oafish as normal and he never seems to be punished.

 

[2 man midfield]

What I hate is the people complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining

Well maybe I hate the people complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining!

 

[Kostur]

Herein lies the problem.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Also, clearly he has given up on top 4. So I would like to see them play more positive today. No negative bullshit from mourinho and I will be happy out

 

[Paul the Wolf]

So we've given up on the League. If this was Fergie we'd probably win 8-2, bit less conviction that will happen today.
