Away, Berbatov hasn't been as great. Makes sense to go with Chico, pace should trouble Chelsea's backline.

Can't believe that we're actually going for a 4-4-2, surely must be a 4-5-1. Unless Fergie has reverted to pre 03 Fergie. Scary.

Essien · 01-03-2011 8:20pm

Lol, Fergie for Taoiseach, what a spin doctor :pac:

Bodhisopha · 01-03-2011 8:22pm

I've thrown 3 euro on Torres first scorer, Chelsea 2-0, just to keep me interested in the game.

In fairness Berba has been a lot off form recently and Chico is bang in form. Essien who i think is a great player is not the best holding midfielder IMO. Surprised Mikel didnt get the nod over Ramires although mikel has not been great either recently.

Must be 4-4-2. It would make no sense to play Chico up front on his own.

I'm sure Chelsea must have been preparing for a 4-5-1, might throw them off a bit.

Yeah I think Sky got that wrong. I'd expect Nani on the right and Rooney tucking in on the left with Hernandez up top on his own. I'd be surprised if Fergie goes 4-4-2.

Poor berba

Top scorer but yet doesnt start.

Kylo Ren · 01-03-2011 8:25pm

Cheers

Chico up front on his own? I doubt it. He's never played the lone striker role and wouldn't be the best link up player either. He would massively struggle to hold the ball up too. Makes no sense, has to be 4-4-2.

If you can't have an interest in a game like this without having a bet then there could be a problem!

I think he has picked this team because it can revert between 442 and 451 easily depending on how the game is going.

He'll need to, with Ashley Young gunning for him.

I'd love to know why Ashley Young would need to gun Rooney down.

Ashley Cole on the other hand...

He will start with 4-4-2 and play with it for 60 mins.

If we are leading the game then and Chelsea start to up the pressure, he will bring on Berba and play 4-5-1.

Reminds me of the Champs league final 08, started 4-4-2, reverted to 4-5-1.

Lovely stream at the moment

Also if Chelsea start dominating he will pull Rooney out left and tuck fletch in the middle to tighten things up.

Yeah, i see your point. I have an interest in the outcome regardless, but to keep me interested in watching if it's a stinker, which these big games often are.

flahavaj · 01-03-2011 8:40pm

Think it'll be a 4-5-1 rather than 4-4-2 like Saturday. Would be happy with the draw, we need a masive improvement on recent performances to get anything tonight.
