Closed Chelsea v Man United

[Special Juan 27,439]

The best of a bad situation is Torres to start for me.

[Tomo 21,733]

He threw Eto'o on against City but replaced Hazard and still stuck with the 4-2-3-1 rather than say 4-4-2. If anything, it was just almost a like-for-like replacement attacking wise and hardly anything changed.

As for against Arsenal back then, it was arguably the momentum that carried us through rather than any (significant) risk being taken (the changes only happened when it was still 0-0 with Robben and SWP brought on to stretch the play).

Maybe not risks in terms off 3 at the back but i can see us going for it late on if level and risk a united player doing a Flamini.

His decline is unprecedented as he's never been a defender that relied on pace. it's fun seeing him struggle.

Pace was his main attribute, read Fergies book he explains him exactly

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Maybe we could see Matic for this one- definitely not gonna start but could come off the bench. Exciting

matic played a "big" match in this weekend against porto. he is match fit, so dont see why he cant start against utd.

[AndersonBLUE 819]

Not sure if it's a good idea to throw Matic in the starting lineup or not. Depends how well he does in training I suppose.

I would be VERY surprised if Jose starts Matic , but nothing stopping him!

[didierforever 7,349]

bring them on bitches!!!

[xnaed 17]

Lets see if its an autoMatic selection versus united

[Toli 977]

according to dailymail, rooney is unlikely to be fit for the game.

Lets GO CHELSEA

Let's not jinx it. We don't want him scoring an own goal before being sent off.

One more to boot...

[zolayes 14,489]

I think I wouldnt start him this weekend ,,,Give him a week to settle in

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Last time Torres started against Liverpool on his debut we lost 0-1. Actually on a 2nd thought putting him in straight away wouldn't be a good idea.
