I'm liking the idea of 433 against Chelsea, just not sure about walker atm. To be fair, chiriches did a great job on young today, was composed and didn't dive in. I'd go with:

Lloris
Chiriches Fazio Verts Davies
Stambouli
Mason Dembele
Lamela Kane Eriksen​

Replace Stambouli with Mason and your onto a winner there straw Balz.

I think we're going to give them a real game. I like that its an evening klck off. New years day, loads of people off work this week - plenty of booze taken lol - atmosphere should be pretty good.

Three clear days to recover and prepare. Chelsea are a well oiled machine with no weak points in there team but there not really prolific. I fear United's individuals more even though I know Chelsea are a better collective force.

Anyway, good atmosphere should encourage the high intensity we want to see more of. If we press them well and get in their faces I think we could get something, might even edge it.

It's incredible isn't it! But I think because they are academy products we feel obliged to think they should play every week. If paulinho had performed like mason today the same people would of screamed for his head. I'm baffled by the love in for mason and bentaleb.

Makes it even worse when you consider we use to have Modric in those positions.

I have a sneaky suspicion that Mourinho will do as he did today and play Mikel and Matic together as the holding mids, sticking Fabregas behind Costa. They'll look to bully us physically in the middle and use Fabregas' creativity to bring in Hazard and Costa.

Best way to combat it would be to go with a 4-3-3. I honestly think Eriksen, despite being very good in the number 10 role, will get crowded out there, and won't do enough to help the 2 holding players. I'd rather play him to the left of Kane and have another centre mid help out the midfield.

I don't see much difference between the two startling line ups in terms of quality of the goalkeepers

A cunning stunt to have 12 on the field in your 4231 (sorry 4331). Wonder if Jose or the ref will spot it !

Thats a slash mate its often used as a symbol to mean one or the other

It's Mason or Bentaleb hence the "/" between them.

Wow,you are either extremely optimistic or extremely stupid to continue to include Capoue in all your formations.
