    Depends who we are playing drogs.

    A team we need to break down. Well its all united in attack.

    Teams we need to park the bus. Well Chelsea players it is then.

    You have the better defence. I would have De gea, Rafa, Jones as options. We have a better attack. Hazard and Oscar the only two offensive players even worth looking at from you guys.

    Pick an 11, based on ability of the players. Not hard.

    De Gea

    Chelsea's defence

    Chelsea's centre midfield

    Hazard, Oscar, Rooney

    Van Persie.

    Id have mata over oscar, rooney up top, kagawa out left, Rafa right back.

    If its based on ability then I would just have united best eleven. On ability its the best in the league. Not just a claim but proven.

    Shame ability counts for **** all without the right leader eh?

    I would have hernandez ahead of all your strikers and welbeck too.

    Hazard brings the pace and mata and kagawa bring the style. They unlock defenses. Rooney can be any of our atrikers really. Doesn't matter. All 4 are better than what you have.

    The fact you've picked Rafael over Ivanovic/Azpilicueta, and Kagawa - who by the way has done literally **** all since joining.

    The only area you have over us is your strikeforce.

    By the way UIR do you still believe Kagawa is better than Hazard?

    Rafa has had a bad year. You mentioned ability and well, he has loads.

    Kagawa was a regular unser Fergie and is often the best player on the pitch when the idiot moyes plays him.


    The only places not up for debate are the central mid roles which are both Chelsea players and the strikers whivh are uniteds 4 times over.

    The rest are. Theres about 12 different combinations to be had. Look at the attacking midfielders to choose from.

    Hard to say. One gets to play week in week out under a manager who has faith in him (we all know how important this is) while the others plays under moyes.

    What do you reckon would happen if we swapped? A change in opinions?

    Both squads were very evenly matched when Jose
    And moyes took over. Chelsea's is better now with the acquisition of Matic, and improvement of Azpi hazard etc.

    Jose would have tweaked and improved United equally and with the strikers avAilable,
    utd would be top or second

  13. IMO, no. Not even close. I like Kagawa but Hazard is on a whole different level.

    My best Line up (a rival perspective):

    ----------De Gea----------------
    Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta
    ------Ramires---Matic-------
    ---Hazard-Rooney--Mata--------
    ---------van Persie--------------

    Subs: Cech, Oscar, David Luiz, Ba, Evra

    Chelsea Player Count:7 Starters | 4 Subs
    Manchester United Count: 4 Starters | 1 Subs

    And even from that you could have a debate around Cech vs De Gea, Mata vs Oscar, Evra vs Cole. One area United are stronger in my opinion though is up front. Chelsea have had no preferable Striker all season and as things stand I feel a full fit Rooney or Van Persie could walk themselves in to the team (subject to them being fully fit though of course).

    Honorable Mentions to David Luiz, Carrick, Cole and Vidic (if he turns up). But to put it simply imo Chelsea just have a better squad.

    Not true, Capello the master at this, tried to do exactly the same with England. It worked to a point but the minute they came up against a hald decent side they failed. The reason being that the quality of English midfield and their style of play just wasnt up to the task.

    I wouldn't have Rambo in the 11 that's for sure drogs, I'd sooner play Jones in midffield than Rambo, he's a liability

    De Gea
    Chav defence
    Matic
    Oscar Mata Hazard
    Rooney RvP

    I wouldn't Luiz alongside Matic, not if you want to play attacking football.

    Oscar was pants today, Chelsea show that without Hazard they'd not even be top 4.
