what a massive head start it would be... win this game and wooooooohhhhhhhhhhhooooooooo... exactly the kind of campaign mou likes...

[edetarod 2,155]

this game just became even more massive

Wish I could calm my nerves about this game.

Just have this nightmare visualization of exactly how RvP will score. A ball played along the ground right on the edge of the box that he curls into the top left corner.

Really hope Lukaku starts. If I see a lineup with Lukaku starting and Lamps on the bench I'll feel better closer to kickoff.

WHY? WHY? Do people keep wanting us to bench Lampard? In my opinion there isnt a chance Jose would bench Lampard vs United.

Thank you for ending the nonsense. I merely stated an opinion on a player and all these guys jumped on me and started arguing fairly rudely as i didnt agree with them. In all honestly it was nothing to do with them, and i am sorry but i will defend myself. It seems quite frequent on forums that when a woman disagree with them, they lose it.

Anyway I am in no way sorry to them, as i said i will defend myself but i am sorry the arguing resulted in consuming the thread.

I hope they will just ignore me if they disagree instead of that nonsense.

Moving onto the game. I was thinking is there no chance you could play Torres and Lukaku together upfront?

Jose doesn't usually prefer playing two strikers..

because he doesent offers protection and defense and cant build-up a game. so he is kinda useless in the DM position, unless we are playing small teams like Hull City etc. mikel/MVG must start ahead of him, if we dont want to get destroyed in the middle by United.

Did you see him against Villa!? He was absolutely dreadful most if the time. Every pass misplaced and slows our build up play to a crawl.

He struggled that mightily against a bottom half side and you think he should start against the defending champs who are at home?

I did watch him and he was far from dreadful and may of missed a few passes which he rarely does. I have no doubt Mou will start with Lampard.

Yes but why not try it for one game, one up front particularly Torres alone

[Blue Armour 4,278]

The four times last season that Mikel-Ramires played against United they won the midfield battle and we were the better team.

Out of those 4 the one FA cup match played at the bridge would be the only real good example...in 2 of those we played well only after going behind, and Utd decided to sit back and defend. In the CCup match we were playing a weaker United team.

So, all in all, not very sure about that pivot pairing.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

My line up would be

Cech

Azp Ivanovic Terry Cole

Rami Van Ginkel

Oscar Mata Hazard

Lukaku

Subs: KDB, Schurrle, Torres, Lampard, Cahill, Betrand, Moses

Agree for the most part. I'd have KdB in place of Oscar on the right and possibly Essien for MvG to start.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Cahill vs RVP is nerve wrecking lol. I hope Ivanovic starts as the CB

Yep Mata also has to start he always does well against united, His scored in his last 3 league games against them so I hope he starts

[Mustafa 885]

I dont think Mou would give a young MVG his first start for Chelsea at Old Trafford... Personally Id have Mikel or Essien in the DP with Rami

[Bacika 188]

I have feeling Mourinho will play Essien - Ramires in the midfield, and Torres upfront...

Oh how I remember them nightmares before games. I remember two seasons ago we where about to play Man United, if we had won the game we would be level on them with points, and we would have two remaining games for the end of the season. I woke up in the middle of the night the night before and I was all sweaty and I was that nervous for some reason I went straight on my phone and checked the result in case I missed the game. I haven't had any of them in a long time because we haven't challenged for the title, but I have a feeling it could come back on this season.

However I do remember under our season with AVB having a nightmare before the Arsenal game, that I went into college and everyone was winding me up about Chelsea losing 4-3. Now could you just imagine the look on my face when Arsenal where actually currently beating us 4-3 at that time? I was overwhelmed, I just couldn't believe what happened, and funnily enough them scoring to make it 5-3 made it better for me, as it provides some reality as it was just a dream, but jesus it was weird.
