Closed Chelsea v Man United

[CeleryFC 373]

It makes sense to field a strong defence when United only have a strong attack going for them. We don't want to lose by not being fast enough covering the back when they're on the break. Their depleted defence should mean we don't need to be as strong going forward. Pick your battles. Obviously its nice to see some good attacking football, but the psychological impact of a loss could be ruinous. Better to play it safe.

In the other hand we should smash them at set pieces

[DYC. 7,542]

I knew Zouma was going to play in midfield.

Oscar, Fabregas and Hazard in the 3. I wonder what the plan is there.

I still call a boring draw, the line up does not exactly suggest otherwise.

Oh, I already see that glory-hunters band is in full-swing bitching and moaning about 'moaners'.

Let's fucking survive this, because you know, football is all about survival.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

No speed in the team except hazard. This is a major problem.

Why not ramires or Willian instead of Oscar/fabregas???

Let's hope this doesn't kill our counter-attacking

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Jose just said Willian is ill.

no, it aint at all. football is about playing football. thats it.

expected line-up from mourinho. he'll never change. will get used to playing shit football against half-way good teams.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Right, so according to SKY it's United's to lose, they look strong, Mata and Herrera are sublime and Falcao is a king.

Dear fucking me.

Just because some people don't agree with the line up doesn't mean you have the right to call them names. Behave lads.

4-0 Chelsea

Zouma-Matic is actually quite good, Matic could go forward more often in this set up. Zouma to deal with Fellaini. Drogba is the only fit striker and it would be too much to start Solanke over DD here. My only question is why Oscar over Willian? But hopefully he could suprise us with his crosses to DD.

But can you imagine anything else but sitting back and waiting for United? We shouldnt play like this

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I still can't think of a single reason why Zouma is in midfield when we have Mikel and Ramires on the bench. Makes no sense. But I guess we'll see what Jose has in mind in about 15 minutes.

[iseah100 5,612]

I really hope we thump these cunts just so everyone complaining about the lineup will be standing around looking at their feet.

[MichaelDance 552]

Almost ready wooo! been waiting for this all day.

[DDA 9,691]

COMOOON CHELSEAAAAA!!!!

[MichaelDance 552]

The only complaint I have is the King is our striker as much as I love him... we need goals.

Probably because of his aerial abilities, Mikel has not played a match in 2 months and playing Ramires would mean that Matic has to deal with Fellaini, leaving a gap in midfield since Ramires's positional awareness isn't superb.

He's going to do a job on Fellani!
