8/11
I swapped out Young for Mata at the last minute too.

 

[Devil may care]

Weird to leave Carrick, Blind and Baily out, I also don't know why Young is playing over Lingard, very strange team.

 

[Catt]

The weekly dose of positivity from Red Katie

Keeping y'all grounded.

 

[Peanut Butter]

Good line up that.

 

[pocco]

Bailly hasn't been great himself recently.

 

[RedCurry]

So that's Jones, Rojo, Smalling, Darmian, Valencia and Young back-6? Legit.

 

[lysglimt]

Is it too much to hope for a good match by Darmian ?

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

… and your point is

 

[yamo123x]

Darmian??

How are we gonna line up?

Young and darmian as wing backs?
Valencia in attacking role ?

 

[PoTMS]

Just knew Rashford would start as soon as I heard he was out due to 'illness'.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Solid lineup, all things considered.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Darmian

 

[sincher]

Matching their formation. Euch.

 

[GloryHunter07]

Fellaini hate incomng.

 

[Paxi]

… and your point is

We go for it!

 

[Ban]

So we're playing a three man defence which doesn't include our best ball playing defender who is on the bench. Makes sense...

Who? Bailly? Are you sure?

 

[MrSingh2002]

5212 or 523? Interesting but not filling me with confidence. Atleast Rashford starts.

 

[OldTrevil]

I like that team, defensive but has enough firepower to cause them problems. Game will be tight.

 

[Ban]

Don't worry. Bailly on the bench talk incomng.

 

[pocco]

Darmian??

How are we gonna line up?

Young and darmian as wing backs?
Valencia in attacking role ?

343 would be my guess. Match them up, give Pogba some cover and allow our wingers to have a go with cover behind them.

 

[An Irish Red]

Who? Bailly? Are you sure?

I think he's comfortably our best ball playing defender, yes. You disagree?

 

[paulscholes18]

DDG
Jones Smalling Rojo
Valencia Herrera Pogba Darmian
Mkhitaryan Rashford Young

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Is this on BT or Sky?

 

[Alabaster Codify7]

Looks like Bailly is now considered to be the worst of our 4 CB's which is disheartening. Wouldve preferred him in there over Jones and probably Smalling. Gutted for the lad, but he has had a poor spell.

Darmian, yuck. Hope he at least puts in a decent defensive display.

Fellaini (Herrera), Lingard (Mkhi), Mata (Young) would be my guesses for the subs.

Ah well, still sticking with 3-0 Chelsea, hope I'm proven wrong.

 

[Devil may care]

How Jones, Darmian and Young have gotten picked is a mystery, I have this horrible feeling Young will be playing as a striker with Rashford wider.

 

[Paxi]

I think he's comfortably our best ball playing defender, yes. You disagree?

He is. But he has been out of form recently.

 

[Damien]

I should have stuck with my original team. Knew it'd be 343.

 

[Dec9003]

Five at the back

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Not bad. Kind of knew we were going 3 at the back, and I'm happy with that.

Only thing I will say is Pogba in a two scares, but it shouldn't be that bad with three at the back.

Can imagine Conte will put Matic back in instead of Fabregas, to try and solidify the team a bit more.

 

[pocco]

The cynic in me wonders if this is the team Jose wanted to put out. Probably not all that bothered about this competition now that we need to be at 100% in the league and EL.

 

[BringNaniBack]

So Herrera basically going to be trying to control the midfield on his own while outnumbered against a very good Chelsea midfield.

I'll be shocked if we can pull this off with this team.

 

[Paxi]

How Jones, Darmian and Young have gotten picked is a mystery, I have this horrible feeling Young will be playing as a striker with Rashford wider.

That would be mind boggling..

 

[GifLord]

 

[3KDré]

I am not looking forward to this.

 

[ivaldo]

Darmian??

How are we gonna line up?

Young and darmian as wing backs?
Valencia in attacking role ?

Young further forward I imagine.

 

[paulscholes18]

Why no Mata???

Pace on the counter attack I guess

 

[charlenefan]

Is this on BT or Sky?

Neither BBC

 

[Ban]

I think he's comfortably our best ball playing defender, yes. You disagree?

Yup. Rojo is the one.

 

[Philadelphian]

Why no Mata???

Slow, weak, no use in this one.

 

[Berbaclass]

Is this on BT or Sky?

BBC

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

We go for it!

You understand!
