The hope that kills.They may be up for it. Usually they put in a good performance after downing tools (Brentford).Chelsea have been one of the teams we've been better against in recent times, so hopefully more of the same.We're usually shit in London. Expect more of the sameNever has a game felt more destined to be 1-1.All week I've been saying I'm not going out to watch this (Have Sky but not TNT).
Am starting to feel tempted though.Spurs and Villa dropping points can only mean one thing.....
Us getting spanked by a terrible Chelsea
I think he meant that it wouldn't be straightforward to watch as he doesn't have a subscription to the broadcaster that's televising it.Luton, Fulham, Forrest, Brentford.
4 from last 7 games have been horrific and I’m expecting more of the same
hopefully Amad and Mount can get a start to at least make it a remotely interesting watch
Kind of feel the same. Felt so fecking deflated after the Brentford game, but I just now that I'll end up watching this anyway tonight, even though I fully expect it to be terrible.
Really hoping we freshen things up in our starting XI. Amad deserves a chance given how crap we've been this season. Not sure if Mount has the match fitness to start though but would like to see him play. We can't play as badly as we did against Brentford surely?
We certainly can play that bad again.
I’ve given up telling myself we can’t be as bad as that game against (insert multiple)
Def agree and hope the starting line up is somewhat different
There was no suggestion at all that the players downed tools against Brentford. It was a horrible performance but they definitely worked hard.
Chelsea are a team which Eric’s structure matches up better against, so I wouldn’t expect us to look so horrible against them (assuming we maintain the same structure).
So every post has to be positive does it? Have you watched this season?You're the one who came on a Utd forum to say you couldn't be arsed to watch us
So every post has to be positive does it? Have you watched this season?
Not positive mate no, we are pretty shit. I just don't tend to document if I can't be fussed supporting my football team but as you wish.
Sorry if I upset you by doing so.
You continuing this convo has been far more upsetting for both me and anyone reading this thread.Chelsea could score 3 or 4 tonight if they don't sit back and put their chances away. We are due an absolute dicking given how many chances we concede each game - won't be long until a team clicks and bury us.
Regardless of how many we get beat by tonight (and we will), ETH will spout the injuries as a reason we continue to let anyone walk through our midfield and have a shot at goal with ease. He's useless as is the effort from many of our players.I loved that convo.
GoodFellas, I'll be seeing United live tonight for the first time in my 36 years on earth.
However, I'll be embedded with the enemy within the West Stand at S.B.
Wish me luck!
Christ. If we play like we did on Saturday at least you're not at risk of being flushed out by an involuntary reflex celebration.I think he’ll rest Mainoo and play Mount.The score of this one could be anything. I don't feel confident at all anyway.Chelsea have beaten us once in the last 14 meetings (FA Cup Semi in 2020), so I'm confident we'll get the job done tonight (although that run does comprise of 7 draws).
Haha.
I have been warned to be very careful from my chelsea-supporting in-laws and not to celebrate a goal if I don't want to beaten up.
Having said that, I don't think we'll turn up for the game, but Chelsea are just as flaky as we are...
You'll be fine in the west stand. Tourist and families central.
I'd keep very quiet if you were behind either goal, got booted down the stairs in Matthew Harding lower about ten years ago.Looking forward to this , think we will see goals. Chelsea 2 - United 3.Calm down lads. No need to be so pessimistic. It’s Chelsea.
Chelsea 1-3 United
It’s like mixing different play-dohs. They turn brown and look like shitDon't know why, but feeling confident we'll winThe Fulham and Brentford games ended our meaningful interest in the league. We would have been right in the mix with those 5 lost points. Now I just want to finish out the league, the FA cup SF, and any potential Final get to the summer and hopefully have a massive clear out and pray beyond hope that any players who do stay have an epiphany and perform like actual United players next season
I hope not. A midfield of Mount, Mctominay and Bruno. Or Mount, Casemiro and Bruno won’t work.
That’s the way our team rolls. Can be shocking 1 week and then surprising the next. Both teams are dreadful so it will be a battle of whoever’s worse. Has a draw written all over it but could be shocked.
I think so too. We saw him rest Mainoo during our last midweek game when we had City a few days later.impossible to predict
Chelsea have been pish poor but we've consistently made teams look their best in months- Status
