Could work. Play Barkley behind Naismith then

That gives him a bit too much defensive responsibility for me and that would shackle him against the league leaders I think.

Its game where Barkley will actually have a bit of room to operate in for the first time on a while and thats where he excels imo. Naismith is better in games where he has to make his own space.

Yeah absolutely, they just lave Matic back so there will be space for him.

BUT

we know that, if McCarthy is fit, it will be the 3 man midfield from Saturday

We'll smash these 0-0 :cool:

Which is a shame really. Mccarthy and besic putting out fires and Barkley free to break makes the most sense to me.

I see a poll with no CoT option, wtf @chicoazul? Wasn't it enough to have crap previews ffs, why do you ruin this for me so?

I wouldn't mind if we line up like we did last weekend, Mourinho will want all 3 points at home so will commit more numbers to attack than Brendan did, and give us opportunities on the break.

I can see us sneak a 1-0 win or 1-1 result.

My team -

Joel
Coleman Stones Jags Baines
Besic McCarthy
Lennon Barkley Mirallas
Lukaku

The actual team -

Howard
Coleman Stones Jags Baines
Besic Barry McCarthy
McGeady Naismith Lukaku

The "actual" team is that the official RM team selection? For me it is pooh but who knows it might work agin Chelsea.

...wow, that would be nice. It's important we have something to hold onto for as long as possible. Hopefully it's not all but over by half-time.

What were Mourinho and Roberto like in their press conferences?

Have a feeling Barkley will start and I'm tempted to back him for first goal at 22/1. Just have a vision of him scoring a screamer early on.

I think we can hold these. 0-0.

Well one of them was at least "phenomenal".

Can you guess which one?

Can never predict a Martinez line up. Chelsea are playing 4 2 3 1 mostly this season so i would expect us to put out a more offensive line up than the derby.
