I really think Carlo's made a mistake here & I hope I'm wrong in saying that.

Fair enough going back to 4-3-3 but I don't agree with the selection. Drogba should be there for Torres because the fact is, Drogba, Nico & Malouda all have an understanding. They've been together longer than Torres and them and so they know instinctively each other's play. DroNicLouda would be better for team chemistry just like YossiNando would together.

A second mistake is with 4-3-3 the anchor man is crucial! You can not have Essien there because Mikel owns him in that position all day, every day! Essien gives us the drive, yes, but 4-3-3 leaves a huge gap from defensive to offence and with Nani playing Mikel's inclusion is a must.

Guys, I hope I'm wrong but I don't think this team is good enough to beat United. I hope Carlo will make the right changes, at the right time!

I'll be waiting after the final whistle for the "Fire Carlo" threads to appear.

Expect me to be one of the first.:)

Good god why has he gone 4-3-3? Please tell me it's not true.

Because that IS our formation?

We played better in the last ten minutes with an 4-3-3 then we did for most of the whole game.

Didn't realise we played 4-3-3 last game. What about the previous games where 4-4-2 has worked and we went unbeaten.

CA: "You'll have to watch the game to work out if we're going to play with a 4-3-3 formation. If possible we have to control the game by controlling the possession. I picked Fernando up front because we want to play with a certain shape. The key is to win. We have to play 90 minutes at our best."

But we have enough talent to make any system work against teams that aren't to the mark as Man United. Man Ure can work different formations, and so can we, but we have never really ventured into it. 4-3-3 is our strongest formation as we have used it for longer and have found large amounts of success with it. 4-4-2 is in the 'working' stages, so if i was Carlo i wouldn't use it in such an important game. Also i would have put Drogba on the wing.

But, who is to say it is a 4-3-3? It could be a 4-5-1 or even a 4-1-2-2-1.

Ivan - Alex - Terry - Cole
