    With Ole gone now and the wind of a win behind our wounded animal back, we just might be able to do in the chavs.

    But we need a massive performance from Bruno, who has yet to show up for duty this season. Swapping in Bailly for Maguire doesn’t bother me in the least. In fact, I’d love to see Maguire have to fight to get place back in the starting XI, but that’s a discussion for another thread.
     
    Nothing to be expected from tomorrow’s game.
    Also we won’t start playing good football the next game as Rangnick will need quite a bit of time to put his stamp on our team. Similar to Conte and Spurs.

    AWB Lindelof Bailly Shaw

    Very predictable lineup. For years it seems we pretty much always gone with what’s worked in the previous game and Bruno and Rashford changed the game so they’ll fall into that trap as always.

    Really think this would be a game for the 3-5-2 and matching up with them. Put Shaw as the 3rd CB where he can help with Reece James give Telles license to bomb on. We’ll not do it though.

    Chelsea could destroy us with their wing backs and Rashford and Sancho are gonna have to work back with them or our midfield will be pulled apart. Can see this being a long day. They’ll outwork us all over the pitch.

    3-0 Chelsea. Can’t get Ralf in quickly enough.
     
    I think we will go with the same lineup. Bruno to come on in 2nd half when game opens up
     
    Conflicted if I want Bruno to start or not.
    In the last game I actually like how compact we were but unfortunately very short of ideas. While his impact as a sub was devastating.

    I think he can start if he is instructed to play as an 8.

    AWB Lindelof Bailly Shaw
    VdB
    bruno fred
    Sancho ronaldo rashford

    Or maybe McT instead of VdB

    Maguire is banned and I've no idea how any sane person would name him in their team at this point anyway. Other than that, I like that team and thinks it's the best option for having any hope of a result against Chelsea.
     
    Turns out all 5 matches including the Chelsea v United game is only aired on the NBC Peacock Premium channel. Fkc NBC and paying an extra $15 a month on top of my already $300 cable bill

    Greedy pricks at NBC can f-off

    So, it's zero matches on NBCSN tomorrow and only one match between Wed - Thu
    All the rest on the pay extra NBC channel.

    Oh well, time to start watching the other Euro leagues as I already have ESPN+ w/ Disney

    We need to win this or at least avoid loss. But unfortunately can’t be very optimistic.
     
    The most confident I've been of defeat all season. Bailly and Lindelof against a side strong on set pieces is a nightmare.
     
    Chelsea will score …it’s just a case of how many
     
    Just try to avoid an embarrassment tomorrow. Any positive result will be bonus.

    That's why its great to jump into rivers.
     
    I'm actually pessimistic for this. Something is just nagging me that we wont win...
     
    No one expects us to win so we’ve nothing to lose.
    Am I doing this right ?

    Lose this weekend and we could be 9pts behind Westham, 6behind Arsenal and 4 behind Spurs.

    I genuinely think top 4 will be a tall order for us this season.

    I wouldn't say so, Chelsea were in a bigger hole last season and got 4th + won the CL.

    I think the performance is important tomorrow to set a tone that is different than that under Ole. Then RR can come in and try and impose his style.

    This Utd team is a top 4 team on paper and the PL is too competitive for too many teams to win a lot on the trot.

    For sure, I think top 3 is gone if Utd lose (maybe it already is), but 4th is still possible.
     
    I can only see us scoring once. We never keep a clean sheet so at best a draw…
     
    Hoping for a win but just can’t see it. Think it’ll be the same team that started against Villarreal but with Rashford in for Martial.

    Starting XI:

    De Gea

    Wan-Bissaka - Bailly - Lindelof - Telles

    Van De Beek - McTominay - Fred

    Sancho - Ronaldo - Rashford​

    Subs: Henderson, Dalot, Jones, Matic, Lingard, Fernandes, Diallo, Elanga, Martial

    Score Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Manchester United
     
    Not seeing a battering, Chilwell is important for their attacking play as a LWB who turns up on the back post but can also get back. Kante's also missing which is a big plus for Utd as he prevents a lot of balls through the middle that would start a counter.

    See a 1-1 or a 2-1 Utd.
     
    Carrick to go out whilst having a 100% CL and League record.

    Can't see us having any new manager bounce in the league until Ralf takes charge of his first game which could well be Palace next Sunday
     
    They score lot of goals from setpieces and we are probably the worst team at defending set pieces (well defensively we are up there with the worst). To make it worse, 2 CBs who can head the ball are out and 2 CBs we will play are not that good at winning headers.

    I don't have any hopes from this game.
     
    Unfortunately can’t see anything else other than a heavy defeat. I’m not usually this pessimistic about our chances but can’t see anything else!
     
    DDG

    AWB
    Lindelof
    Bailly
    Shaw

    Fred
    VDB
    McTominay

    Sancho
    Bruno
    Rashford

    Set up defensively solid with balls over the top to stretch them in behind and Bruno playing as a false number 9. Hold on for 65 mins then bring on Ronnie for VDB to win the game with 25 mins to go.
     
    So Pogba & Varane are injured.


    Maguire is suspended.

    Cavani, Shaw & Fred are doubts.

    so my guess is that Carrick might go with this (assuming the above 6 are not available)

    De Gea

    AWB Bailly Lindelof Telles

    McTominay Matic

    Sancho Bruno Rashford

    Ronaldo
    ​

    Shaw & Fred might be selected instead of Telles & Matic.

    In all probability they will. But I just hope that we are able to score first. Because if we are having to chase the game, that will be particularly difficult.

    And then scored a bicycle kick winner, landed awkwardly on his back and the entire stadium hears a loud ‘click’. Jones stands up, the broken body which has ailed him so many years feels good again, he’s cured.
     
    I haven't been this confident in victory since the Valencia game midweek.

    We're gonna batter them all over the park.
