Muhamed Besic

I think we'll go 4-3-3 again against Chelsea with the injuries we have, and I've got a feeling Bobby will play Ossie. But, I'd love him to put Besic in there. As Martinez said, he's not phased by anyone. He could do a job man-marking Fabregas

Man marking Fabregas. If Fabregas plays the AM as opposed to CM then that's a good call but I couldn't see Martinez being so negative.

Besic is possibly the best player in world football.

UNLEASH THE BEAST BOBBY

Possibly? As if there was a doubt!

Osman is a loyal servant and an experienced pro. He should be starting every week. Hopefully Besic can learn a lot from Leon while watching from the bench.

Is that sarcasm because by that logic so should Hibbert.

Woops just read on in the tread. Yea it was sarcasm

Stones in for Jagielka and Oviedo for Baines the most likely I'd say. Robles should only play cup games, not Europe.

Why risk going out the cups?

I reckon Fabregas will play as a No.10 tbh. Can see Mourinho packing the midfield and putting Ramirez in there with Matic

He was the cup keeper last year, I don't see Martinez changing that now.

Apparently it's in Robles contract that he plays the cup games. I don't know if that includes Europa.

Then man-marking him could work. Personally I don't think he'll change his system.

Just can't see him playing Oscar tbh, reckon he'll want Ramirez' energy in the middle of the park

I can picture our Europa team now mate

Howard
Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines
McGeady Gibson Besic Atsu
Barkley
Eto'o

Would like to see - when fully all fit (4-2-3-1):

Howard
Coleman Stones Besic Baines
McCarthy Barry
Mirallas Barkley Eto
Lakuku

If we're talking strongest teams then yours is much closer, mine was going on the assumption that Bobby would be giving the Besic/Gibson combo a run out in Europe instead of chopping and changing in the league. McGeady has considerable Europe experience too which I reckon Bob will take into account.

There's a tempting center back partnership I would love to see tried. I don't think it will happen due to Besic seeing himself as more a midfielder but if it worked we would have the two of the best ball playing centerbacks in the league.

Try pressing us then.

Really, really think he will be the surprise of the year. How we got a song yet?
