All our rivals dropped points during the weekend except Liverpool. Must have been a perfect weekend for Liverpool fans.
Big if with our recent record against Chelsea.If we can win this I reckon we can go on a bit of a streak and climb up the table considerably, especially with Arsenal and Shitty dropping points.
Agreed this is a very difficult stadium. It would be against the odds to win there but it could be magnificent...Big if with our recent record against Chelsea.
That's the Chelsea of old, I'm not entirely convinced with Conte just yet, especially since he's still stuck in some perpetual tinkering mode.Big if with our recent record against Chelsea.
Yeah...we never do it the more simple way....Win and we're 3 points off top... it's the hope that kills you
City,Arsenal & Spurs not winning games they expect to win,makes the Liverpool point look even better and if we get anything here today,that's a good fortnight imho.Great opportunity for us to move up the table and be right back in contention, hoping for a good performance and to testing their back line.
Come on United!!!
Martial and Mata could be brilliant impact subs.Martial not starting doesn't surprise me. Rashford is playing better at the moment, and Lingard is having a very good form.
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.
Maybe that's what caused the injury.Rooney hid an injury?
Must admit I didn't even notice he wasn't even in the squad. How he has fallen.

I think his point is that Fellaini is effective for a stifle job more than anything. I'm not a fan of Fellaini but I can't deny that when it comes to this kind of tactic, he seems to be useful. Other than that, no need for him.Really? I think we look both technically and tactically a million times better with either Carrick in CM or Mata at AM than when Fellaini starts.
Probably easing him inLuke shaw injured?
Yes. Bet they'll have a screamer tonight.Anyone else think that Chelsea side looks incredibly average?
The way the last three Utd managers have used him, Fellaini is apparently indispensable.I think his point is that Fellaini is effective for a stifle job more than anything. I'm not a fan of Fellaini but I can't deny that when it comes to this kind of tactic, he seems to be useful. Other than that, no need for him.
Throughout the 11 it isn't great, but they have players like Hazard and Costa who can make a chance or score out of nothing.Anyone else think that Chelsea side looks incredibly average?
He travelled but he is obviously more worried about Smalling's fitness. Darmian and Rojo can cover the defence, Darmian, RB, LB and CB. Rojo, no, forget about it. Shaw is just a LB.Luke shaw injured?
Agree.Really? I think we look both technically and tactically a million times better with either Carrick in CM or Mata at AM than when Fellaini starts.
Whilst I agree with you and would love for Carrick to play, he is only good against teams that stand off. Which Kante and Matic won't do.Really? I think we look both technically and tactically a million times better with either Carrick in CM or Mata at AM than when Fellaini starts.
Rashford has looked all labour and zero craft in at least our last two or three games. He is there For his speedy Ji Sung Park/fletcher qualities in big games.Martial not starting doesn't surprise me. Rashford is playing better at the moment, and Lingard is having a very good form.
No,Jose not worrying about an attacking wingback in this game,playing a Roundhead not a Cavalier.Luke shaw injured?
He didn't look great against Fenerbahce, has had a lot of small injury/fitness concerns this season. Not surprised if he don't play more than 90 pr week for a whileLuke shaw injured?
No chance Darmian will be able to cope with Hazard.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?
He could shut them up every week but rest assured the same people will whine next time he plays.Happy for Lingard, earned his spot. Hope he plays well and shuts some of the doubters up once more
