Rooney didn't travel to Russia, so what's the excuse now?
Fellaini!
De Gea
Valencia Bailly Smalling Shaw
Herrera Pogba
Mata Mkhitaryan Young
Fellaini
They will probably travel via other method of transport? Jose done lost the plot if he didn't take a single striker in our squad.
Mourinho knows the press take pictures at the Lowrey for home games and at the train station/airport/hotel for away games and speculate over the First XI; he even commented on it in his press conference.
With Zlatan out and uncertainty over who will start, he's playing mind games by having 3 absent strikers at this point.Fellers up topMarawan will be our striker. Fixed.
Just for playing mind games, you don't ask three players to travel separately. Either the photographers might have missed them or they are not part of the traveling squad.Chelsea are going to get it.
What exactly and don't say it.
If you say so.
The elbow of death..What exactly and don't say it.
It's annoying there are no replays because Chelsea will find a way to grind through at Stamford Bridge. We never ever win there whether we are brilliant and they are shit or vice-versa. Still, I like the idea of Rashford up top. I just hope Jose gets the team right and has a game-plan and isn't just focused on the Europa League and top 4, now that the League Cup is in the bag and we won the Cup last May. I want us to retain it.
The D.What exactly and don't say it.
Jones has injured Rooney in training. I don't know if that's the best or worst thing Jones has done recently.
Martial is also injured and Rashford ill.Make yourself a hero Marouane.Haha Christ, Fellaini up front. I hope Valencia and et al have brought their crossing boots.
We've literally no other option have we? Fellaini with runners off him.
The sad thing is that our wings won't look good either now.
Mata Mkhitaryan Young
FellainiHoly feckAny youth options?No just no.Wow, 4 attackers unavailable for tomorrow then.
Fellers to the rescue! I hope one or more of Martial/Rash/Rooney recover for Thursday and the upcoming league game.How on earth does Jones injure so many people all the time? Anyway so no strikers so I guess this game is a bit pointless.Surely that's a joke?
You forgetting its Mourinho now not LVGPlay all the midfielders with Pogba/Mata as a false 9Park the bus and hope to snatch a goal/win on pens.Can you imagine? I cannot stop giggling about this! Would be hilarious if we actually won without any forwardsDe Gea
Valencia Bailly Rojo Blind
Carrick
Herrera Fellaini
Mata Pogba Mkhitaryan
Expect we'll see this tbh. Mou needs someone big up top. Could just be fellaini and not pogba of course, but I doubt it'll be a front 3 of miki, mata and lingard/young against chelsea. He'll need an out ball.Has Martial defo not travelled? Maybe he'll get better from whatever illness he has by Monday night?
Dont think Fellaini as no 9 for 90 minutes will work at all. Better off trying Young or Mata in that role.
Else should play the CF from our reserves. Who is that anyway?
I like this idea. Can see him doing well in that role. Maybe thats his long term solution!Pogba's finishing isn't at all good enough to be the striker. Would rather see Mkhitaryan or even Young there.All of your forwards are shitting it at the prospect of facing Gary Cahill and pretending to be injured.
Seriously thought, Fellaini upfront for you is probably not a terrible idea in all honestly, given his strengths.
Yeah, rather him closer to your box than ours.
Are they big/strong enough to win the knock downs?
No but they've a chance to run in behind if we play to feet. Fellaini behind them will win them, flick it on or bring it down and into play.
Yeah would expect Fellaini up top if none of the strikers are fit. Makes more sense for him to be there than Pogba imo. Pogba in a deeper role could play in one of the fwd players, Fellaini isn't going to do that but could create some space for someone up top. Wouldn't be surprised to see him drop Mata though for Young/Lingard if he wants to go really defensive and hope for something on a set piece.- Status
