I'm not sure the team selection was as surprising as has been made out .
4231 is our main formation maguire is captain and was always going to come back in. Tuenz had a great game against psg but thst was his first game in 8 month . Telles also played well at psg but not even in the squad, must have s bit of a knock . Would be a strange decision to leave him out completely if he never .
So with that in mind a back 4 isn't that much of a surprise.
Cm picks itself after the psg game imo its a strong area for Chelsea, having a 10 in there allowed bruno to pick up jorghino out of possession. He starts a lot of play for Chelsea and ran the show in the fa cup game .
Up top mata came in for martial, can't complain to much with that he had a very good game against Newcastle.
James was probably lucky to start but also the alternatives greenwood returning from a knock or the naughty boys step and cavani still finding his feet where both probably unlikely to start, although I would of liked to of seen 1 of them in from the start . I thought cavani looked sharp looking forward to seeing more of him.
Poor game to watch, to a certain degree cancelled each other out, but an OK result.

{Ed025's Note - unfortunately maguire wont be available next week jred...the WWF have a show on in boston mate.. :)

Ed25 he got away with 1.

{Ed025's Note - he really did jred, i was disappointed with the game to be honest mate and thought united would have built on the PSG result, but for me ole picked the wrong side and james should be nowhere near the side, just my opinion of course..

Ed25 I can understand the team like I havd said above.
I would of liked cavani or greenwood to start if I'm honest but both are just coming back .
I think 1 of them may start on Wednesday and of course martial will come back in .
Its strange telles wasn't involved,

{Ed025's Note - it just seems like its 1 step forward 2 steps back jred, united need to go on a bit of a run like they did at the end of last season and get back into the race, but they wont do that by constantly changing the side and losing momentum mate..

Yor right Ed025. James is not good enough for starting sport let alone being in 18 squad. You can see why Ole is deemed not good enough lacks consistency, tactical awareness, rare makes right selection despite having some decent players in the squad.

{Ed025's Note - i fear your right andy, just when i think united are getting there they seem to shoot themselves in the foot, and im an evertonian so i dont know what its like for you united supporters mate..

Our front players get a lot of plaudits but I never feel like they are confident in 1 on 1 situations with a GK. its like a feeling of dread appears when they get in those positions. There keeper was good but I believe if we had a Jamie Vardy or Sadio Mane yesterday, we win the game. We need that selfish forward player.

That line up sets up James to fail offensively. He was in there to cover their wing backs going forward. Too defensive from OGS/ Phelan yesterday. They were there for the taking.

Dan's main attribute is his pace, which works well in a team set up for the counter attack, which is what Ole went for yesterday. The only thing he should be training on day in, day out is crossing that ball.
