But I want fresher leg plus I want more than just speed behind, tammy offer different all around package. Better holder, and can offer physicality to the game. On LW, it does not matter if we play werner or puli. Whoever fresher should play. One of them can come in later on. In 343,Tammy is actually better than Giroud. You kinda want an all arounder because without midfield support you are tasked to do almost everything. Thats fair I just want the win in any shape or form, sick of losing to these bums. Media would love it if they take us out. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanP2311 65 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I wonder if Havertz will crowd Pulisic like an extra defender again on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Our strengths are there strengths and vice versa. It's just they have a settled lineup used to playing with each other for the most part particularly in attack.Our defence is far from convincing but neither is there's and ours has been completely different with mendy in goal (small sample size) so I expect it to be a close game with moments of quality being the difference.If we can get the ball up the pitch and don't get overrun in midfield which is the risk if we come up against a 4-3-3 then we have a great chance. Both teams are probably set up better to counter attack which will be interesting to see. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 We beat them 3 months ago really comfortably without our 6 new players and Pulisic and Kante also did not play. They are pretty much the same team. 0007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyeye 7,510 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Not sure what to expect from this, let's just hope we get a decent result, depends on what Chelsea turns up. Muzchap and Atomiswave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Ziyech was fully fit I wouldnt have him start his first match against MU. Especially how disjointed he has looked in his few subs so far. He needs to be eased in. I honestly would rather see a 4-3-3 here. Kova,Kante, Jorginho in midfield. Puli,Werner, and one of CHO/Mount in the front 3. Big tie subs of Ziyech and Havertz if we feel they are there for the taking in the second half. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kante/Kovacic/Jorginho midfield would only be beneficial if we were up against sides that have a stronger midfield than us. United are undoubtedly going to sacrifice their midfield for 5 at the back. All we need from the two central midfielders is a disciplined performance. Preferably Kante and Kovacic. We already know what United's game plan is.

We already know what United's game plan is. I agree that their midfield will for sure not look as strong on paper as ours, but honestly I dont trust our midfield to not get outplayed though, which is why the change in formation is recommended Worst case scenario is that we play our usual formation, Havertz is the 10 and cant get involved in play so he starts looking(going deep) and we are left with another Sevilla type of performance except you know Bruno Fernandes FC is good for a pen.

But the scenario you are providing will just result in tedious possession football, with no creativity in midfield, against a United side that will have a low block. A United side that also has no Martial, Maguire, and Greenwood. Do you honestly expect United and their low block to press us as intensely as Sevilla?

Lampard will still force him to start, even though he's useless on the wing + tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomiswave 6,117 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Mount better not be left wing again, that is baffling to me. Puli MUST play left winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember what Lamptey did to him in first game? He was also responsible for Brighton goal. Against Sevilla Mount also lost the ball in dangerous area and had to make a yellow card. Hazard did not bother with defending but now all our attackers are pretty good in this. Also Chelsea coach when deciding which winger to play should NEVER think about defense for this position. That is losers mentality. And btw on Rash side is Pulisic anyway based on last couple of games. bohops, Azul and killer1257 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
