I'll be pumped with a draw. Luckily Costa and Remy will likely be out. I know Drogba is old but he's got goals in him.

Also Di Maria is supposedly winning the race to be fit

I like when Costa is a major doubt to play because it means he will score a hat trick.


ETA: Who is missing out for you guys for sure?

I think we have the firepower to score on Chelsea, problem is we can't stop them either.

Yeah, I could see y'all putting a few in although our back four has looked better recently.

With the attacking options y'all have, I could definitely see draw. Just can't see us losing the way y'all have played defensively.

We didn't look that bad monday, except on those two counters that gave up goals.

But Jose love to counter

For some reason, I continue to believe Mourinho and then sit Costa on my fantasy team. Then he comes up with a hat trick and I'm like

I think we will need to score at least two goals to get anything out of the game.

I never believe Costa is out until he's not in the lineup.


I have a feeling he'll play Sunday, but even without him, Drogba did enough on Tuesday to make me think he can do the job. If you can just hold the ball up and pass somewhat well, Fabregas, Oscar, Hazard, Willian etc can play off of you and cut a team's back line into pieces.

Hopefully Paddy McNair and Blackett are able to fill in the gaps on defense caused by Rojo and Jones.

ETA: I'm so pissed at our Center Backs. The only two players that have shown anything this year has been the game Paddy played and at least Blackett is hustling his arse off. Rojo might be good at left back, but has a lot to show me that he is a legit CB, and Jones is starting to run out of time.

The second thing I noticed about that picture is that Liverpool's jerseys are so much better than Madrid's. I hate how Adidas can't get shorts and shirts to match. Not that hard, but they insist on putting those three stripes everywhere.

@ManUtd just tweeted out that LvG is giving Victor Valdes the chance to complete his injury rehab at MUFC. He's just helping a player out but prob will piss off some Liverpool fans

From what I've seen he's just giving him the opportunity to train with us. No signing or anything like that. Could be wrong though.

edit: now i'm seeing contract negotiations. would be great to have top quality replacement. I think lindegaard is a great keeper but I think signing Valdes lights a fire under De Gea to perform moreso that lindegaard does/would.

A United statement read: "Valdes will have his recovery supervised by the United medical staff before training with the first team, as he bids to regain full fitness."

United, who have Anders Lindegaard as back-up to No 1 David De Gea, did not say whether they intend to offer Valdes a contract.
