United will be absolutely gagging to play us and rightfully so, as a team we've got the same mentality as Morata and if we go in to this game like we have done in others we are going to get battered.
result prediction
United to win 3-1
Can't see us winning this one, too many problems across the pitch and with Sarri but we're bound to see Kovacic or Barkley starting and that will be one of the substitutions.
After Bournemouth I honestly couldn't care what happens this season, it's far to depressing and frustrating watching these guys do what they want and have a manager in charge that I feel sorry for because player power will always win.
I hope I'm wrong
Prediction for the United game

Our record at Stamford Bridge is atrocious. Even when you are not playing well, I can't see this being an easy game at all for Utd. And if Martial and Lingard are out, we will struggle.

Agree we've got to get rid of the "Morata mentality",well put Ronny.
The mid three of Jorghi,Kova and Barkley are not up to it either.

The team I put is what I think Sarri would play.
I believe we need to stop this rubbish Sarriball...
My team and formation and tactics would be to revert to what we are better at for the time being until the end of the season
532
Kepa
Zappacosta - Dave - Luiz- rudiger - Alonso
Kante - Kovacic
Hazard Higuain Pedro
Hear me out with Alonso, his best position is as a LWB and definitely not as a LB. I'd give him a few games and see how he is and how we play as a team but if things weren't working I'd give Emerson a go in there.
Jorginho has to go, he's being EASILY marked out of games, we're playing with 10 men every game. Sarriball simply doenst work with these players ok, accept it, we've played game after game after bleeding game. He's 100% dropped.
Plus Luiz is the last leader in this squad, disgustingly treated by alot of our fans and he's one of the most creative players on the pitch. His hearts in the right place but is always the victim. People need to take a look at themselves.
Bottom line is this group of players are not a good team and good teams get top 4 and win cups etc. We need something to get us to the end of the season and then we need to finally sort out the entire bleeding squad.

How many goals and assists have those 3 got together this season?
Am I right in thinking Jorginho STILL hasn't had an assist in over 2000 passes? Must be almost 2500 now surely!
I know Kovacic hasn't scored as I go almost every week and I've not seen him score!
Barkley scored a few so between Jorginho and Kovacic they must have next to nothing

No chance of Sarri switching to the 5 at the back team you've put up. He's made that perfectly clear in his press conferences.
Maybe tweaking it to a 4-2-3-1 could be more plausible but knowing Sarri he's not changing much and Jorginho will start every game except the EL for us no matter how bad he plays.
Would like to see the midfield and attack line up like this:
Kante Kovacic
CHO Hazard Willian
Higuain
But chances of it happening are very slim.

Agreed and this is why he will get sacked. He clearly isn't changing anything and he'll persist with what he has been doing and keep complaining about the players and then he'll go. I feel it's inevitable at the moment unless he changes things up a bit

He'll keep with what he's been doing in the Europa & probably get away with it given the perceived level of opponent
We'll get what we deserve on Monday though...depending on what he does there

I've long proposed the idea of Willian in a midfield 3 (or even 2) - but the objection I have heard is that he is too lightweight and too easily pushed off the ball. The fact that no manager has ever tried him in that central area suggests that may be true. But I do believe he has all the attributes to be great there - incredible stamina to get up and back and very good on the ball technically. Plus he has an eye for goal too, which we don't currently have from midfield. Even if he's terrible he'd be better than Barkley!
I like this front 6:
----------------------------Kante----------------------------
----------------RLC--------------------Willian--------------
CHO----------------------Higuain----------------Hazard
At this stage, what have we got to lose?

It's got a look about it....yeah why not
You get some dissenters on it though...which is fair...it's a debate forum
