WhatsTheMatic? 28 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I don't think it's negativism but rather, realism. Others recognize that Drogba is no longer the powerful force he once was and can see the limitations in him now. Never mind not scoring, he has looked sluggish and off the pace whenever he's played this season.I thought he looked a lot better today. Didn't get that final ball or pass but he looked to keep up well and contribute more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike 373 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 United sucks...They have 2 attacking fullbacks, so Hazard should have a field day and neither rvp or falcao are in form...Their cms are slow and bad, Mata will be eaten up, and luke shaw will have to learn in his place the hard way.Only thing I worry about is random fellaini goals from set peices... Dont see di maria coming back at 100 percent from a thigh injury so soon.I do.Matic-rambo-oscarSchurrle-cesc-hazardBring willian on for later...vs Carrick-blind-mata-herraraRVP-Mata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerik 11 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 We should easily beat them even without Costa and Remy. They were lucky last year, the game was very early in the season when all their weaknesses and incompetence of Moyes had not been fully exposed yet. Mourinho just overestimated them and was too defensive then. This year it's different. We have already seen them being ripped apart numerous times and should have no fear.I expect Hazard to earn us freekicks from dangerous positions and perhaps a penalty or two, which we'll eventually turn into goals. Then score some from counter attacks as well. 3-0 to us. :philjones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonsFinest 692 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I don't think it's negativism but rather, realism.

Never mind not scoring, he has looked sluggish and off the pace whenever he's played this season.I agree, he isn't the best choice we may have right now. Still, it is Drogba, and being honest , his striker's instinct isn't lost and even if he has to play in that game, we can be okay. Compared to Costa and Remy he isn't great right now , yes . For one match, I think he can handle that negativism/realism and channel it into a positive performance. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Chelsea striker Loic Remy hopeful of being fit to face Manchester United after injury against MariborNo one knows your body better than you. Now let's hope he is all right. Groin injuries can be frustrating at times and keep you out for a long time. Very confident Costa will Start. and Rami will hopefuly be back for this.CourtoisIvanovic - Cahill - Terry - LuisRamires - MaticFabregasWillian - Costa - HazardOscar is in the form of his life. If he can't start against a top dog now, then when will he? Definite starter imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beyondinvisible 47 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Phew, looks like at least one striker will be fit for the game.Drogba is just back from injury and played most of the match yesterday. It wouldn't be fair to expect him to play a full match 4 days later.I'd be interested to see United's setup for the match. They've tried to out-attack everyone in games so far and it hasn't paid off. Is Van Gaal going to change his approach for this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Oscar must start IMO, we need him to harass Carrick and/or Blind and give them no time on the ball, plus the fact that he's been brilliant over the last few games. I don't think we need to start a more solidified team against United. Maybe in the closing stages I would bring on Ramires for Willian or something to solidify the result, but for now my team would be:CourtoisIvan - GC - JT - LuisMatic - CescWillian - Oscar - HazardRemy/Costa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Really hope Didier turns up for this one at least we still keep our set piece threat. I'm just worried because Didier won't make as many successful runs as Costa would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramires has been injured for weeks now, I don't think he will feature against United. if Ramires is fit to start the chances are Oscar will be left out as he usually is in the big games away from home, As Willan can do what Oscar does defensivley and offers more going forward with his pace and dribbling ability on the counter., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 This will not be easy, but it will not be the hardest too. Their attack is quite good, but their defence is abysmal. The key is to outscore them, and aim for 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
