Any other year I'd say we have to go for the cup, but with our league fixturesbeing so close together, just this once give the first team rest, they need it.
You want lingz to start? Are You trolling?FA cup is not what it used to be. As much I want us to win the trophy I don't see any reason for us not to rotate and keep ourselves in the position to get top 4. Same with every other national cup trophy these days.
Start:
Romero
Dalot Bailly Tuanzebe Fosu-Mensah
Fred McTominay
Lingard Mata Pereira
Ighalo
In most probability he will start.You want lingz to start? Are You trolling?
Yes it is, and unfortunately it's a tournament that lost much of it's prestige and losing it pales in comparison to lose a spot in the UCL, specially for a team that's desperate to sit in the big boys table again.A couple of changes. Nothing silly.
It's an fa cup semi final for goodness sake.
Absolutely not. For the big clubs, the FA Cup and the other cup no one cares about have been glorified tests of squad depth and fitness for years.Come on, am I the only that thinks our 2nd string is still capable of beating a poor Chelsea team? We can have our strong players on the bench if needed but team B all the way.
I would not start him. If he starts, let's just say bye to our FA Cup 2019/2020.In most probability he will start.
It’s their home and they wouldn’t want to lose and unbeaten record at home. Also they will be presented the Epl trophy on that day. They wouldn’t want to disgrace themselves on such a special day for them. They also just lost their last much. They need to react. I am confident in a Liverpool draw atleastLiverpool have been giving out free points since they won the league. Since the restart even, I think. Don't be surprised if the scouse scum give Chelsea free points just to feck us up.
Free point to Chelsea is acceptable, free points isn't. Liverpool has not lost at home for like over 2 years. And they are supposed to lift their trophy after the Chelsea game right? Liverpool will be in form.Liverpool have been giving out free points since they won the league. Since the restart even, I think.

I don't agree at all that our next 2 games are a must win. Before you make up your mind, read my comment above where I explained we have to beat Leiscter to reach UCL regardless if we win or draw against West Ham.Winning our next two games in the PL is without a doubt, the top priority. We cannot afford to lose out on CL again. For reasons both financial and sporting. That said, we can and should rest Bruno, Pogba, Rashford and Greenwood. Fred, McT, Mata and James can fill in, all bringing their own unique qualities to the match. And I don't think Chelsea are that good. Plus wouldn't they want to win their last two games just like us? They won't go gung ho. If the FA Cup got us into the UCL I would be all for winning it. But as things stands it's just the cherry which has no meaning unless we have the cake underneath.

Well I hope both of you are right. But I smell a screwjob coming on. I really do hope I'm wrong.Free point to Chelsea is acceptable, free points isn't.

We are not that bad and Leiscter and Chelsea are not that much better than us (if so at all). Liverpool in their good day will smash Chelsea easily.Well I hope both of you are right. But I smell a screwjob coming on. I really do hope I'm wrong.
If West Ham wins tomorrow, they'll play without any pressue against us. It's best if they lose or draw tomorrow so they get all nervous agaonst usIf West Ham win tomorrow they'll be safe, we should have no problem betting them at home next week. I say we make a couple of changes but we 100% go for the cup. Imagine having a cup final v City to look forward to after we secure top 4

Yeh, it is such a time no united fan, player or manager want to be in...to choose between one competition over another. But then you have to swallow that bitter pill and set your club's priority.I would not start him. If he starts, let's just say bye to our FA Cup 2019/2020.
No way mate! Moyes vs. Old BOSS. West Ham to knock United out of Top 4 for the 2nd time in the last couple of years. And the list goes on and on. At no point will West Ham players go easy on us.Nah I think if they win tomorrow they'll be on the beer for a week so they mightn't even bother turning up to Old Trafford
Why is no body reading my comment above where I explained playing our best 11 against Chelsea and risk not winning against West Ham is a good idea?Rest them all! Can't risk it with top 4 so close.
AWB, Pogba, Bruno, Greenwood, Rashford, Martial - ALL needs rest
Just play the second XI. Hopefully it can beat Chelsea:
Romero
Dalot Bailly Maguire Williams
Fred Matic McT
James Ighalo Mata
We can try to win the FA Cup again some other time. But right now 4th place is too big to take a risk!
If Liverpool beat Chelsea and we beat West Ham, a point against Leicester is enoughI can offer a different view on this. Since we have 62 points, just like Leicester city, and we have -3 goal difference compared to Leiscter, we have to beat Liescter to reach UCL. Our result against West Ham is more or less meaningless. Allow me to explain.
As far as our next game goes, we just have to make sure we don't lose to West Ham. The reason is even if we draw against West Ham and Liescter wins their game against Spurs, Liescter will be two points ahead of us. We have to beat Leiscter to reach UCL. If we win against West Ham and Liescter wins, we still to need beat Leiscter to go up due to goal difference. So we can play a very strong team against Chelsea and just try not to lose against West Ham.
Play our best 11 for the Chelsea game. It is very unlikely we will lose the West Ham. We have to beat Liescter regardless of our next result against West Ham.
Below is a short summary:
Play the best 11 against Chelsea
Chelsea will most deffinetly not play their best 11 because of Liverpool game. The reason is if United and Liescter win their games and Chelsea loses to Liverpool, Chelsea must win against Wolves to not miss out on UCL.By playing our best 11, we will more than 50% likely go to Final.Just don't lose to West hamGet that 4 days rest and smash LiescterLet me know what you guys think
We need to plan to thrash West Ham if possible in case we lose to Leicester.I can offer a different view on this.
