Manchester United 1:1 Chelsea

Masuka90 · Oct 20, 2014

Time to put a dodgy screen up at OT and hopefully get the game rescheduled for sometime after the January transfer window.

Mister_Stubbs · Oct 20, 2014

0-4 renties I fear

GE · Oct 20, 2014

It's Arsenal from last season all over again.

We'll win 1-0. Everyone will praise us, the media will love us for a week, they'll all say our season starts from now.

...then we'll continue our run of absolute shit form, we won't beat another top team for the remainder of the season and will finish 5th.

bastip92 · Oct 20, 2014

Play Carrick and Giggs in midfield. Used to work against them in the past!!

Sied · Oct 20, 2014

Worried...

bosnian_red · Oct 20, 2014

We'll win it I think. Not sure on the lineup. Think he might stay with the 4-2-3-1, though you can't say Januzaj deserves another start. Just remembered about Valencia so I'd put him in for extra strength and defensive ability to let Rafael go further forward.. Though neither do Mata and Van Persie.

De Gea
Rafael Jones Rojo Shaw
Blind Carrick
Valencia Herrera Di Maria
Falcao

zzakzz17 · Oct 20, 2014

im going for a 0-0 here

CLARiiON · Oct 20, 2014

Park the bus LvG. Better get a scrappy 0-0 than losing.

Schweinsteigeradi · Oct 20, 2014

I'm really nervous for the next two weeks. We cannot lose 2 games in a row especially after we dropped points today.

I'd swap Jones for Smalling and put Valencia in if fit, he usually plays fairly well against Chelsea from memory but otherwise that's the side I hope we go with.

If we can get a 0-0 scoreline against Chelsea with this back line I will salute you sire!

If we're good enough defensively to do so, that is.

Can honestly seeing us getting a draw 2-2

Mato87 · Oct 20, 2014

Come on UNITED !

Amadaeus · Oct 20, 2014

Chelsea is no doubt a better team than us at the moment, but I believe individual talents like Di Maria and Falcao can give us a chance of victory or a draw. I feel Smailling is our best defender, so if he is fit, I feel we can have some form of solidarity in the back.

De Gea
Rafael- Jones - Smailling - Shaw
Blind - Herrera
Mata - Di Maria
Wilson - Falcao

Subs: Lindergaard, Rojo, Young, Fellaini, Carrick, Januzaj, Van Persie

I want our attack to have an emphasis on pace( Wilson/Falcao/Di Maria) with creativity(mata/di maria).

PvsNP · Oct 20, 2014

Return of the 3-5-2?

This is better balance, but still think we can need some more power in the team. Would go for Valencia on the right. Him and Rafael are fairly good together and he work hard and is strong. Maybe even put up Jones in midfield to give some shield in there although who should be central defender is hard.

Massive problem it is and I doubt Van Gaal will do anything near this. Last time he was up against Mourinho it was an easy 2-0 in the CL final. That time Van Gaal had probably on paper the strongest team or at least as strong as Mourinho. Hard to see him win this one.

Silva · Oct 20, 2014

It's gonna be tense, I don't think they'll batter us like so many are expecting.

I hope we go all out and attack. We already know there's no way we're gonna stop them from scoring with our Back line.

I think it'll be more along the lines of scoreline massively in Chelsea's favor at the end, but doesn't reflect the overall flow of the match.

JohnnyLaw · Oct 20, 2014

I can see this going similarly to last year when they beat us. We'll play well in parts while they just sit back, defend, and when we're exposed they'll counter with devastating effect. I pray that i'm wrong.

Jazz · Oct 20, 2014

We'll win 3-2. Goal right before the whistle blows for full time. Scorer - Falcao

Forgot about Valencia, I'd put him in too instead of Januzaj.

No idea what Van Gaal will do, it's not a case of thinking he won't do this or that as I do think he values Valencia, it's just he was injured today I think and who knows if he'll be fit. The CL final in 2010 though Inter were the clear favourites. Bayern were not that good at all in 2010 and Inter had an excellent team then all performing at their best.

Raw · Oct 20, 2014

How much of a fecking confidence booster will it be if we managed to nick a win though? Then have it crash straight back down when we get dicked by City.

Mali_Zeus · Oct 20, 2014

Point would be massive. I dont think they'll destroy us but getting a point, let along win will be extremely hard.

I don't think he'll drop RVP so I'll go...

Wednesday at Stoke · Oct 20, 2014

Mourinho is going to overload us on the flanks to draw two sides of our diamond wide and kill us with Oscar & Fabregas through the middle. I hope we watch a ton of tape leading up to the game.

After tonight's change in system, I don't expect to see the diamond on Sunday.

Let's have a little belief lads! At the end of the day, we're Manchester fecking United, c'mon United.

4-2 Manchester United.

Sammyjunn · Oct 20, 2014

Jokes aside, I really think we should start Valencia, he brings the extra strength, the extra speed and his build up play has massively improved, he is an extremely hard worker, our Ramires/Jones of 2012/2013. One of his kind, the defensive winger.

If Mourinho doesn't act cowardly against us at OT again and actually shows a bit of courage, then they'll kill us like City and Liverpool did last season at OT I am afraid. We can't even defend against West Brom or Leicester, noway are we preventing Chelsea from winning if they actually want to win as mentioned above.

He's injured isn't he? I agree with the principle though, Young and Fellaini will start this one.
