Chelsea is just so superior from the other EPL contenders is not even funny.
Not even surprised, id be more shocked if we ever fielded our strongest 11 this year

But the last couple of games he seems content with playing people out of position rather than switching from a back 3. So if it's that important to him and those centre halves are made of paper, why not put two on the bench?
This isn't a new problem for United.
A disproportionately high amount of our players have been getting injured for at least the last 4 seasons.

I really hate how good Costa is at scoring goals.
I am so fucking tired of all the injuries we have had this year. What are people made off? Why can't they train muscles and pre workouts that prevents all the damage to the body. Something has to be done, when Chelsea can play there best men all year and we have made more changes that is common for a regular team in 3 years.

True that, but they'll pay that inconsistency eventually and gave you the title.
Believe Clegg!
Same embarrassing lineup as the Villa game. The only chance United take all three points is if they squeeze out a 1-0 win.
Like Clegg pointed out this has been going on for awhile. Oddly enough it was the year Ronaldo and tevez left that it started to happen. 09-10 was the beginning of the yearly back line crisis with Carrick and even fletcher having to fill in before his stomach problem iirc.

Hazard is so fucking good
I thought Toyota's new tech in our medical facility was supposed to help with injuries
Woody got scammed!
That line from the simpsons
Dr. Hibbert: Well, we can't fix his heart, but we can tell you exactly how damaged it is.
Homer: What an age we live in.
Nah. Fletcher started that game and was so bad he was subbed at half time.
Mata is starting there instead of him today.
Costa 1 goal 1 assist. What a time to have captained Alexis for this gameweek's FPL.
What a fucking joke. Ugh. Good to see Falcon starting again at least =/

Falcao will score two goals today. Believe.

2 cbs getting injured is worst case scenario, and very unlikely to happen. If that were to happen, a back 4 would suffice. It's not like the back 4 would be for 90 minutes either. What are the chances of 2 cbs getting injured within the first 45 minutes?
Carrick can also fill in at cb as well if it comes down to it. He didn't have a problem doing that the past couple of matches.
Finally, if he's so worried about the defensive stability of a back 4, why not switch away from the diamond if he's forced to go to a back 4? Wingers will always do more defensive work than the 2 strikers needing to be up the pitch.
No matter how you look at it, I see no reason to have two cb subs with 3 cbs already on the pitch and Rafael on the bench as well.

Holy shit!
Lol good luck. Rooney will be too busy doing sideways balls to Valencia, mata will get swallowed up evertytime he receives it since no one will make a run from midfield. The only hope is a beautifully picked ball from Carrick or a 1 in 100 decent cross from young/Valencia.

Don't know why Song didn't start for Westham, they play so much better with him in the team

Good thing Carrick is a midfielder today over Fletcher. He can supply the forwards better. However, 3 cbs, the young valencia combo, and Rppmey spraying balls out to Valencia is going to leave the 2 strikers with shit service.
Hopefully Newcastle is absolutely shit today.

Good result for Liverpool, can't bring myself to be happy about a Chelsea win though 
Is that an all-British Burnley team? Nice to seem, as UKIP as that sounds
Not got a clue how this game will go. I expect a decent performance, I'm afraid of dismal finishing, I fear that we'll crumble as soon as the first thing goes against us.
