Man Utd Vs Chelsea (PL) Sun 16/04 2017 KO 16:00 GMT

[Brutos]

Jose is going for a draw here trying not to lose 3 on the trot  to us 

[IliyaKrostin]

Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan are on the bench, Martial is not even in the squad. 

 

[enigma]

would have liked to have seen fabregas start ahead of matic. anyone like to see luiz in midfield and terry or cahill at the centre of the back 3? be interesting to try considering luiz' outside the box threat and the way he picks passes. wishful thinking i know.

Definately not, with Rashfords pace.

[Brutos]

Redcafe is in meltdown on their team selection and here i thought some you guys were bad LOL LOL

[Jezq8]

Let's just get a positive result today.

cant take the thought of Jose gloating if they win

he's plays wider though doesn't he? surely having zouma/ake and azpi would negate his pace. like i said, it's wishful thinking but luiz always impressed me in the centre of the park as he's got a mix of defensive capabilities and can create a goal scoring opportunity either with a pass or a shot. 

[Andy2461]

Would like to have seen ake on the bench tbh. Don't see why terry and zouma are there they both play the same position.

Delighted about that. Martial is a potential game-changer. Surprised at United team, must say.

Everytime Zouma and Terry as subs, it should be one of them and Ake.

Terry is a legend here and because he is captain, I think Conte is not leaving him out totally because of respect. Ake and Zouma are prob ahead of Terry now in ability wise but I get the sense that if it was not for Terry's status, Ake would be there instead. A shame though. Conte been brilliant in so many ways but he made a real odd decision with Ake.

Remember when José picked a second XI vs the Scousers to rest for Atletico. This could be deceptively tricky.

Remove our best defender and play him out of psition while putting a rusty Terry in his place? Yeah, pass

[enigma]

thought i'd share this.

Difference is Conte won't be lulled into a false sense of security like Brendan was. 

[BenCFC19]

Let's not get too confident. Liverpool thought the league was won when we turned up at Anfield with Kalas at the back, if there's anyone to spoil the party, it's Mourinho.

Trust in the boys and the manager to get the job done

[Brutos]

You are comparing Brendan to Conte???

[BenCFC19]

Not comparing, just pointing to a similar occasion in the past. 

[Tibbers]

What is Jose thinking not starting Zlatan? Unless he's injured . . . Hmmmm

[dansubrosa]

Also we are the experts at parking the bus, United aren't. They're not really built to park the bus, we'll smash them.

[JM7]

Defintely squeaky bum time. Match could be decided by subs. I don't want to say must win but kind feels like we have to. 

Need a big performance.

Not really, Id say the expert in parking the bus is Jose. When we have had attacking managers, we have never parked the bus.

[bloodyfool0]

We do need to restore our 7 point cushion. Winning this one will give us a good boost. Another double against another Manchester side?

[Tibbers]

We don't have a bus, we are a freight train. LOL

[DexterTCN]

Courtois out....maybe we'll keep a clean sheet for once.  

[TheBluesBrother]

Courtois is out so Begovic starts. No Ibra which is a surprise. Really need to protect Begovic. This is going to be tough. Costa needs to turn up today. Nervous.
