LAM09 7,056 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Looks like Drogba will be leading the line for us on Sunday. I don't expect it to be a walk in the park, but we should claim all three points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1980 1,425 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 to many people are over confident about this, they will be well up for this, and them being the underdogs and expected to lose they really aint got nothing to lose.i think this is going to be a very tough game I think it depends. If we go there with negative tactics, we might get punished for that: they have quality players in attack and giving them too much time on the ball isn't the best idea. If we play like we normally do, we should be able to beat them without much problems. Scoring an early goal would be ideal. One thing United have that we don't is unpredictability. Our starting XI and formation are stable and pretty predictable, but United's isn't. That's what worries me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea? 892 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 to many people are over confident about this, they will be well up for this, and them being the underdogs and expected to lose they really aint got nothing to lose.i think this is going to be a very tough game I have yet to see a match thread where people aren't accusing everyone for being over confident. Honestly!It should be a tough game -expecially since Costa and Remy might miss it - but we should win. anything else would be a disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe game against Arsenal was in the Bridge and they had half the team injured... and by the way we didn't play that well, we wre better but...This one will be a problem, Maybe we will win but after the game against Man City this is 2nd most difficult game we had this season. We can be confident, it's normal since we are better... but we are going to play in Odl Trafford and they have a really good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus parking 4-3-3? That won't be good enough for this game. We need to play 4231 with Oscar instead of Ramires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey 173 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Id rather see schurrle as false nine rather than Drogba tbh. I dont think hes a starter in this game and even IF false nine isnt the best option, i honestly believe its the most effective way to go IF remy and costa are out. I want us to trash them and with the speed and linkup play of the potential 4 offensive misfielders im sure we will because united cant deal with it.Drogba is far from the same man he was 2 years ago.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Wont be as easy as people think...if Drogba will start, that alone already kills some of speed in our attack.Forget the current form, all that matters is how players will head into this game. It could be one of those typical defensive type of game by Mou and we win 1:0 or united takes advantage of that. Im sure it wont be 3:0 or 4:0 as some people point out...certainly not without Costa.Win is all I want, United was kinda average this season, defence is laughable but they have good attack. Dont fuck up with tactics Mou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike 373 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Sorry, unless both Falcao and RVP play like its 2012, their is no way United beats Chelsea....Their whole team is slow, minus their fullbacks and Di Maria. THEY dont know how to defend, they are not a good possession team and they are not good on the counter... Chelsea's midfield is substantially better than United and adan/mata/herrara will all be shutdown by willian/oscar/rambo.I expect 5-1with a fellaini cameo.

We need to play 4231 with Oscar instead of Ramires."bus parking" and counter attacking football is 2 different things.we will be set up to do the latter against a united defence which is leaking goals.
