That was an approach Fergie took back in the day but back then the drop off between the top 4 and the rest was steep, I think the PL is too competetive now to just go for 1 point in every big away game.I doubt it mate. Jose is Jose. He is what he is.
And quite honestly, I don't want him to change. I want the same guy who won trophies at all his previous clubs.
As we saw last week against LFC, he is doing what he does best - adapting to the opponent and not going gung-ho.
I expect him to aim to hammer the lesser clubs (we have seen some 3 and 4 goal scorelines already this season), but against big clubs, he will accept a draw.
Jose is no fool.
If Valencia can't we're in trouble if Darmian is the answer.Darmian seems to be getting more time and recognition with Mourinho. Maybe he's on the bench because the manager's afraid Valencia can't handle Hazard?
Wasn't anything that said he was out but he played 90 mins on Thursday, didn't do great and Blind did well against Liverpool so was likely Mourinho was gonna stick with same back four.10/11, I must have missed that Shaw was out.
Yep we doIt was announced like three days ago that he was not travelling. Christ, do we have to endure the Micky moaning in the match tread today?
Think he's injured.Morgan has definitely had a go on Mourinho's daughter.
People keep doing this and keep getting proved to be wrong game in and game out.I don't like the look of this team again. Fellaini and Lingard out for Carrick and Martial for me.
We'll get beat with that line up today, I was confident thinking Martial might start after his last couple of games.
No, people love a good moan.People keep doing this and keep getting proved to be wrong game in and game out.
Let us all just agree that Fellaini deserves to start, at least in games like this.
I would presume there is still a bit of a problem with Henrikh. Jose isn't a fool.3 left backs in the squad Rojo Blind and Darmian yet he picks Young over Henrikh..feck off Jose!!
I thought he was named in the travelling squad?Think he's injured.
Maybe? I don't know. But I do know he was ruled out of the Liverpool game with injury and hasn't been in the squad since, so I would suspect he's not fit enough to make the 18, even if he's fit enough to travel.I thought he was named in the travelling squad?
I rate their goalkeeper and the defensive midfield pair Kanté-Matic highly, though.Anyone else think that Chelsea side looks incredibly average?
Yeah I think their defence is pretty bad.I rate their goalkeeper and the defensive midfield pair Kanté-Matic highly, though.
They don't really have any quality in attack apart from Hazard and Costa. We don't have much either though with that line upAnyone else think that Chelsea side looks incredibly average?
Yeah, no Willian and Oscar will be great for us.Anyone else think that Chelsea side looks incredibly average?
Hope that is it. Otherwise I don't know what Maureen thinks Fellaini can do that Morgan can't.Maybe? I don't know. But I do know he was ruled out of the Liverpool game with injury and hasn't been in the squad since, so I would suspect he's not fit enough to make the 18, even if he's fit enough to travel.
I doubt that there is any intent to attack today tbh.Shame about Mata not starting. I'm afraid that without him we will again lack the link-up in the final third and our attacking players will end up isolated.
Hope I'm wrong.
Yeah, no Willian and Oscar will be great for us.
Cant be an injury Jose said he was fitI would presume there is still a bit of a problem with Henrikh. Jose isn't a fool.
I agree. Like vs pool. Didn't look like we could string two passes together. Extra responsibility for Herrera and Pogba.Shame about Mata not starting. I'm afraid that without him we will again lack the link-up in the final third and our attacking players will end up isolated.
Hope I'm wrong.
Willians mum sadly passed away the other weekPedro and no Willian?
I'd say the latter, we always play reasonably okay there but then bottle it late.We seem to either not turn up at all or look half decent and then shit the bed when it comes to Stamford Bridge.
He's not match fit though and this isn't the game to get that fitness. I am amazed they don't give them games with the reserves to build the fitness up. He might get a runout against Burnley next weekend. Could put him on the bench against City midweek.Cant be an injury Jose said he was fit
SameNot surprised, I had Martial instead of Rashford - but perhaps not ready for 90min in quick succession.
