closed Chelsea v Man United

[Ayioros 76]

The big problems is Mourinho knows very well each of our players.
 He knows their strenght but their weakness too, it's a big advantage.

He will give instructions to put each of our players in the worst conditions so they can't play their style of play.

Kante will be probably one of our more important player if we want take the lead in this game. We must win the battle in middelfied.

I'm worried about Matic. His game against Leicester was problably his best, but against big team he seems always be in difficult. I think his shape sunday will be determinant too.

For me Chalobah could be a good solution in a 3 middelfied with Kante and Matic. We can dropp a winger and put Hazard in second striker behind Costa.

I think that we will put in a much better showing than against liverpool + arsenal. ManU doesnt have the ball playing CB's to ruin our press or the tempo to press us into poor mistakes. The key for me is shutting down Herrera, if we can smother him then i think we can have a really great game. im not worried about fellaini starting their attack so much as herrera so hopefully matic/kante can get in his face.

 

Also i think the players will have something to prove not be intimidated, we are playing at home against the coach that played a part in the worst season for awhile. Conte will have them drilled and focused. Very nervous but Very Very excited for sunday.

The possession of the ball will belong to us, it will be necessary to concretize our occasion. Remind you of the Champions League Game Inter Milan 1-0 Chelsea at the  Bridge. We underestimated the opponent and we took a stupid goal at the end by Eto'o

To me, we'll play better because of the formation change. Conte prefers to defend solidly and patiently together when the opponent is with the ball, but defending against arsenal and Liverpool with the 4-1-4-1 didn't work, we were leaving gaps to create chances. But now as we've changed to a more familiar system for Conte which he used for Juventus and most recently Italy.

The 3-4-3 will cover more spaces centrally and force Manutd to mostly attack through the wings. And with 3 centerbacks to defend rather than just two we'll be defensively better against crosses with the extra cover. And we'll have one week to get ready for manutd and get used to this formation even better, while manutd will be playing on Thursday.

   I agree 100% I am excited for the first real test of the 343 I am a big fan of the formation and obviously the team has taken well to it. Lets hope we keep the good play going.

There are several body parts that I would gladly give up for us to win this match!

dont even  remind me of that tie, Inter´s players were thugs and got away with murder, penalties not given, etc, but in the end they deserved it and won the Champions League so we can say we lost to the Champions, fair play to them and when they beat Barca in the semis i was so happy, because of what happened with us in the previous season, farking karnts, we did get our revenge in 2012 thats for sure, now i can rest in peace hehe but the main reason i hate to play against Mourinho´s teams, is that he somehow finds a way to haunt us, but i really hope its not the case this time, but it wouldnt surprise me at all.

If you have to, definitely give yup the right one. You basically don't need it!

Besides tactics, the real question for me is: With Jose on the pitch, will the players transform into chickens once again, or dragons (for obvious reasons)?

[jernej93 565]

I just hope Terry doesn't come in for Alonso and moves Azpi to LWB. 

 

KEEP ALONSO AND MOSES AS WINGBACKS, THANK YOU

No way this will happen. We havent conceded since we went 3 at the back.

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

I'm actually a little concerned about the 343.  I know we've played well, but there was a spot in the second half where Leicester took it to us.  After we brought on Chalobah and went to 3-5-2 we became solid again.

I can't see us win this one easily. José knows our squad trough and trough and I even think that some of them are scared to play against him.

Myself is pretty scared about that shit-Andy-Carroll Zlatan. Dat grandpa baller can still do something out of nothing and he, as he is BFF with José, will give 200% for him. Then you still have Mata (if he's fit), Rashford who's class and in defence Eric Baily and of course David De Gea who's absolute class compared to T-Bo....

But I think that whole United squad will give 200% because of Mourinho. José will probably tell them to give something extra for him as he was (unrightfully) sacked at Chelsea. Can't say I'm surprised to the fact that he holds a deep grudge against some of our players and, like we do, the board. Simple said the club.

 

I won't boo the man and the Chelsea fans who do are out of their mind. We all loved José when he was a Blue. He brought us head-to-head with the big boys. I also won't cheer for him either. I cheer for Conte.

As José said when Lamps went to Citeh: the love story is over. We are now rivals.

COME ON YOU BLUES!
