Chelsea v Man Utd (PL) Sat 22nd Oct 2022 17:30 GMT

Not feeling too confident. Haven't beaten United in the PL since 2017 which is incredible in itself as we used to always do well against them when Ferguson was around.

United have been pretty good under Ten Hag after the 4-0 thrashing against Brentford very early in the season.

 
Spurs were awful tbf, but they did restrict United to only getting goals from outside the box attempts. One being a deflection from Fred and the other a fortunate placed finesse shot from Bruno.

Half a decade since we've beaten them in the league. Mad. 

 
Potter already outclassed ten hag once this season

and the game prior to that he won 4-0 at home against United

more of the same please

really need Potter to come trough and do a tactical masterclass here

I posted in the Brentford thread, that after the game I watched the highlights of Man Ure v Spurs. To be fair Spurs were awful in every way (oh how I laughed) but United were bang up for it, worked their socks off, high pressed, and passed and moved with impunity. If we play like we did last night, they will take us apart and quickly.

It looks as though Gallagher is sick, not injured. Auba, Chilwell and Silva were rested so will all be back and Chuky and Pulisic looking decent when they came on, I will go for the following against United.

                                                                  Kepa

Chalobah                                                 Silva                                              Koulibaly

RLC                            Kovacic                                 Jorginho                           Chilwell

                 Chukwuemeka                                                       Mount

                                                            Aubameyang

I suspect we will see something along these lines. But I hope RLC is not RWB. Would rather see Dave there, even though I would worry about his lack of pace. Chukwuemeka will probably be on the bench again for this one but might get some minutes. Pulisic deserves a start after his performance last night.

I was thinking about that too. Some managers do have better records against certain teams. For example, as we saw last night, Conte's record at Old Trafford is terrible. Potter has already beaten Ten hag once this season and that will hopefully give him some confidence.

and Ten Hag can only play one way 

so it's not like he has to guess what he's going to face 

 
We will have Silva, Chilwell, Sterling and Auba reasonably fresh (Mount aswell to an extent) while United will (i think) remain unchanged or at the most draft CR7 in for Rashford.

Absolutely must take advantage of that.

CR7 left Old Trafford before the game finished last night. Clearly he is not happy there right now, so I'll be surprised if he gets much playing time in the near future.

You'd think not beating them for 5 years will light a fire up their arse. 

And please for heavens sake no more individual cock ups ala Jorginho and Kante vs Arsenal. 

 
They are just that side for us these days. No matter how good we are, and how sh*t they are, best we manage it a point for the last 5 years.

We've had similar challenges versus most of the usual top 6 rivals in recent years, at least at the Bridge. 

 
First decent team we're about to play this season.

still got the big ones to play home and away.

True but for the most part Spurs not so much, and City and Pool have been far from Sh*t when we played them at home.

Arsenal fair enough.

 
Would like to see the back 4 come back. Trev the DM ahead of Silva and Koulibaly. Mount the attacking midfielder. Front 3 wide players from Pulisic, Hutchinson, Carney and Sterling. Striker from Broja and Auba.

Leave Havertz and Ziyech out of the squad please.
