a real test
the form team but the defence isnt the quickest,they have real form players in Hazard and Fabregas and this is the team I would play to crack there play which will try and stifle our attacking threat
De Gea
Shaw Jones Rojo Rafael
Blind Herrera
Felliani
Di Maria
Falcao Rooney
Felliani has his uses and think physically, aerially and his coverage of the grass may be useful in thsi one

Now we can 'raise our game' v the Blues, much like a lot of our previous opponents have done to us!! That's not a bad line up but Shaw and Rafael will have to do a lotta work in their wing back roles. Whether LVG will drop RVP is debatable but I'd certainly do it as well - RVP has been misfiring far too often - time to change it!

They havent the quickest backline and the likes of Rooney, Falcao and Felliani will give them an aerial nightmare
Moved Di Maria forward so theres more steel in the midfield to stifle Fabregas and pick up Oscar
its not wing backs its a flat back four, Di Maria and the rest of that midfield have enough creativity without playing out and out wingers its not like statistically were lacking from crosses either
the front three have enough about them to judge where to play without falling over each other.
Definitely Falcao to start for me his movement is better, RVP probably needs a rest so to have him and Mata on the bench is a very good thing, just my op anyway

Well what a game that was. Not sure, as a neutral, what I think. Man Utd had their chances to win this, but at the same time did not take them and could easily have been more than 1 down.
The free kick was a little generous, but the kick was great and the goal well taken.
Man City slipped up today and so there is always a chance this was an excellent point.

We're back. My god I have missed this United. Fight and belief completely blew Chelsea out, even when they had the morale swing their way after their goal, our spirit grabbed the game right back. We should have won, but we'll settle for a great point.
