Chelsea 1:0 Manchester United

Hazard and Chelsea will tear us to shreds.

Samid · Apr 18, 2015

My 6th place in the lineup game is in real danger. Really have no idea who to pick. Something is fishy here, why would LVG tell Mourinho how many starters are missing?

Tactics and managerial tactics! I thought this was a win then the squad news came out and changed things. Not sure about our sudden burst of injuries for this game. I think we might be preparing for the other games by letting this go to a draw. LVG's on a roll but might be cautious over when it might end and its implications for staying in the top 4. IMO this about getting through at minimal cost and loss to maintain the roll to the end of the season.

Is anyone on here a member of that forum? Would be good to see what the suggested line up is.

LVG is just very honest, not seen him lie about players injuries since becoming our manager.

I'm fairly confident of the XI I've picked, but there's that nagging feeling at me that Blind will probably end up playing... or there was until it was revealed that Falcao was to start. Suppose there's a chance that Blind could be LB and Rooney in midfield as Shaw isn't fit but I don't think so

Absolutely awesome. Someone get that man a hot tub time machine!

Sparky_Hughes · Apr 18, 2015

2-3, utd to be two down, two goals then from mata and a 95th minute winner from falcao

Jeff Stelling said on Soccer Saturday 10 minutes ago that close sources to him have confirmed Paddy McNair will start today....

Well, there's no choice, is there?

togg · Apr 18, 2015

we are having a blinding run in results wise against strong opposition. I just really feel this is one fence too many. Thought we had a real chance before the team injury news...a draw would be a fantastic result

Are you saying there is a possibility, that LVG was lying and those players are actually fit? Is that even allowed?

Catt · Apr 18, 2015

We'll lose. 2-1 to Chelsea.

Loon · Apr 18, 2015

Only Nicholas on the Soccer Saturday panel gives us a chance of getting a point today.

J-Stander · Apr 18, 2015

Hopefully we cover Falcao in glue before the game starts.

minoo-utd · Apr 18, 2015

Today is a big oppertunity for Falcao, he really should show what he is made of. Maybe his last chance to prove his Worth.

Yup, absolute last chance saloon. Even then it likely won't be enough to convince us to keep him

Trizy · Apr 18, 2015

My confidence is gone with Carrick and Blind out.. Herrera to do a job in CDM? Its Falcao and Di Marias time to show why they're here!

iAm20Legend · Apr 18, 2015

I don't have any hopes for this game

Browniee · Apr 18, 2015

I get the feeling I won't be watching MotD tonight

Obviously not now, LVG said 2 out of the 4 injured players had a chance yesterday.

Browniee · Apr 18, 2015

Be much happier if Blind or Carrick made the line up

Question234 · Apr 18, 2015

all or nothing Falcao. You get us through this and you're probably here to stay.....for a heavily reduced fee of course.

We already know that Falcao and McNair are playing so the only option left is Shaw or Blind, and it's likely the former.

DDG
Valencia McNair Smalling Shaw
Herrera Rooney Fellaini
Mata Falcao Young

Billy Jim · Apr 18, 2015

Falcao
Young Fellaini Herrera Mata
Rooney
Shaw McNair Smalling Valencia
De Gea

Is an absolutely terrifying prospect.

Truedevil · Apr 18, 2015

For some reason Falcao starting makes me excited as feck even though he will probably do nothing.

The defence worries me but we don't have any injuries upfront so we should at least score a goal or two and see where that takes us.

Right now i would say we will win 1-2.

Of course it's allowed, it's just a manager talking in a press conference. And Fergie has told the odd porkie here and there, but no, I don't expect it to be a lie.

hbgreg · Apr 18, 2015

We're gonna win this, the injuries have obviously hurt my confidence a bit but we still have 8/11 players that beat Tottenham, Pool, and City all very convincingly. We have high confidence and great team spirit, we're in better form, we'll win.

Raoul · Apr 18, 2015

I'm not concerned about the lineup/formation. Most of our core performers, Young, Fellaini, Mata, Herrera, Rooney etc are all playing. This may also give Di Maria a chance to get back in.

Raw · Apr 18, 2015

I'm actually looking forward to seeing what Falcao can do. I hope he can pull out one last magnificent performance

That's what I've gone for. Not confident of a result today at all.

Jerry Garcia · Apr 18, 2015

Even with all of the injuries I'm still really confident. I'm confident of three points, but I think Chelsea will score early before we equalize and go onto to win it.
2-1 United.

2 man midfield · Apr 18, 2015

I'm just nowhere near as confident without Carrick. I'd keep Rooney up front, Mata and Young wide of him but move Fellaini into the holding role and have Di Maria and Herrera ahead of him.

Seriously, I hate Saturday 5.30 Kick offs. Still five and a half hour to go!

3 3/4 now.

Lost all my confidence for this game. 3-1 Chelsea is my prediction :/

Like the confidence but the injuries can affect our entire game plan. Carrick's distribution will be sorely missed and the Blind-Fellaini-Young axis has been disrupted.

Red Dreams · Apr 18, 2015

Valencia may be asked to do the holding midfielder job.

Thought this myself, but he's never done it for United to my knowledge, although i know he plays there for Ecuador. It would mean Rafael coming in for his first start in ages which also doesn't seem likely. I think it's more likely we either rush back Jones or Blind to play there or just use Fellaini or Rooney and hope for the best.

Not sure why I'm not nervous. Whether it's because I'm confident that our play recently will shine through regardless of who we're missing and do the job today, or that I'm actually expecting to lose.

Never before will I be chuffed to see a 0-0.

Same. probably cause we have given a game to every side we've played this season and today will be no different.

Cooksen · Apr 18, 2015

Everything might be agaist us but We can still win.
