I have two friends that are Man Utd fans....I cannot take the abuse I took with the Arsenal loss again. My emotional budget is spent. I do not care how we win. it just needs to happen! So, you're like Mana but with friends who are Man United fans instead. 🤪 bigbluewillie and ZAPHOD2319 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) If Kante can sit on Fernandes then we might have a very good chance of winning this one. I'm thinking there's gonna be a red card and probably that c**t McTominey (or however you spell it). Just need to keep Fernandes quiet and Utd fall apart.

Blue Armour 4,449 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I agree that Ziyech looked better for the first time this year, when he came on Atletico. Wouldn't mind seeing him the lineup. That being said, I'm pretty sure we're going to see the same front 3 we saw against Atletico. Don't quite agree with the calls to drop Mount, even if he needs rest. As someone previously mentioned, this is one of our most important fixtures for the top 4 race, and a must win game. Tuchel will not want to rest one of his best attacking players for this kind of fixture. Maybe against the likes of Burnley, not Man Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key to beating them is to not let them break. As a result you need your forward line to press them quickly before they release. Mount is our best player for this. No way is he dropped for someone like Ziyech. Blue Armour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 What I'd like to see: Mendy; James Silva Azpi; Chilwell Kanté Mount CHO; Havertz Werner Abraham. What we'll probably see: Mendy; Azpi Silva Rüdiger; Alonso Kovacic Jorginho CHO; Giroud Werner Mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,822 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I think Tuchel is going to find a way to have Silva and Christensen together. I think Christensen is starting to show he can handle the role everyone always thought he would achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Chilwell makes sense because AWB won't do a bloody thing against us that right side. We can afford to leave open space for Chilwell to push up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can afford to leave open space for Chilwell to push up. If TT still has not seen the light how impotent we are on the left when Alonso plays, he never will. The only hope remains that the board reminds him that there is a 50m signing on the bench. I really hope we see some variation of the linup i posted in the Tuchel thread. But i doubt it. --------James----Silva---Zouma---- CHO----Mount-----Kova/kante----Chilwell- ----------Ziyech/Kai---Werner/Puli------- ------------Tammy/Kai/Giroud---------- would give us plenty of attacking options tho and rotate some of our overplayed guys. The good thing is if we do rotate we actually end up with a better team on paper. What we can not afford is to consistently play 3 absolute snails in alonso, giroud and jorginho. We will get counter attacked to death by Manures insane pace if TT persists on this. I like how TT has given us this ability to suffocate the life of other teams with our high-line and posession but in this particular fixture it can be our downfall. We always have pletny of it vs them. They invite you in and then hit you on the break. we should give them some of their own medicine. Their defensive centre is their weakness IMO. Maguire, lindelöf, mctominay, fred, matic all struggle when isolated and run at. Play Werner, Puli and Tammy and charge the hell out of them.

Muzchap 8,966 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Seeing articles linking us to buy a striker and defender in the summer. We need a CB sure. We need a striker sure. But we also need a midfielder IMHO- we need to move some of our dead wood and grab somebody creative that can unlock defences. Unless Havertz comes good.

Yeah but if Alonso starts I'm worried 😟 Rudiger will cover but that will leave gaps. Much prefer having Chilly bombing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the only defense Pulisic knows on a good day is the Olay defense. He can sneak up behind people with his speed, but he is not going to defend anyone one on one.
