No one is saying we lose 100% of the games we play against 352.

I'm pointing out that the overwhelming majority of our important defeats in the past 2 seasons have been against 352.

If you can't see the difference or why that might be relevant I don't know what else to say.
Thats because many teams use that system , its popular. But you can continue being dramatic about it
 
I think he'd probably play Shaw as LCB and use Telles as wing back if Lindelof is out.

Yeah, I agree with this. Ultimately though whether we do have an issue against teams that play 352 etc, we should still have enough for them. If they play Ronaldo and Cavani, then I don't think they can play at a great speed on the break.

For us in a game like this it's vital we don't give the ball away. I'd be tempted to let Kev sit this out and play Gundo and Bernardo to control the middle.

United are very vulnerable to pace, I'd be tempted to play Jesus on the right to threaten the channels behind Maguire.

If we restricted Chelsea to 0 shots on target we should be able to do the same to United. They have a team with less quality in midfield and defense and a less quality manager ffs.
It's just a matter of which City team will show up, the one vs Chelsea or the one vs Palace.
 
About 20-25%% of sides in the league use it, and yet it's 60% of our defeats.
Your stats are all over the place. You showed the games we lost in the last two seasons ( not this one ) then say that about 20-25% use this system and its in 60% of our defeats... which seasons are you talking about ??
Since you're such a fan of statistics tell us how many teams playing that system did we face during that time ? how many wins , how many defeats so on ? what about this season ?
Youre posting some stats with no context at all while trying to prove a point.

I've literally spelled out for you which seasons and which defeats, it you're too stupid to see the correlation I'm not going to waste my entire day explaining it to you over and over.

How many teams we beat who play 352 isn't relevant, what matters is the extremely disproportionate rate at which we lose to these teams. 61 games last season. 8 defeats. 5 to 352. 63% of losses.

Oh so 20-25% of teams since the season 19/20 have played 3-5-2 ? Care to show a source for that claim ?
Also care to show how many wins we had against teams playing that system in the same interval so se can have a context to the whole stats ?
You don't have to show these things , by the way, if they prove your argument was bad to being with. Its ok.
