It’s the 60th minute in the UEFA Champions League game between Manchester United and Chelsea FC, and tactical changes are almost certainly looming for both teams. With an away lead and an out of position midfielder playing fullback, Alex Ferguson might be looking to sure up his defense a bit. As I mentioned earlier, Javier Hernandez seems like a prime candidate to come off, as he’s made a minimal impact on the game. If United are going to start playing a long ball style, Chicharito might prove useful, but United might find a central midfielder more useful at this point.

Chelsea could be looking to make a like for like change, swapping Nicolas Anelka for Fernando Torres, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see Carlo Ancelotti first introduce Florent Malouda into the game. It would also be interesting to see Josh McEachran come in as a deep lying play maker, but this occasion might be a bit too large for the young man.
Whatever moves the managers make, it should be interesting.
