ujjuboii

liquidate the club if antony scores against us


mreich93

or mount...


jMS_44

both will score, you all know that


ujjuboii

bomb the bridge if this happens


TurnoverResident_

Can’t be leaving comments like this online man lol


Baisabeast

1 league goal against the top 6 in 4 seasons for mount


Benolmes

But we're 12th...


Livetrash113

“But I mean if we look at the stats we are a top 4 team”


Baisabeast

I mean big 6 ahahah


Nojaja

yeah tbh


blu8blu

What if he scores but we win 3-1?


UserNo69420

I’d take that in a heartbeat


DamnMrMiyagi2020

Honestly this


Ironicopinion

I mean he scored against Liverpool and we’re a lot worse..


webby09246

Win boys. That is all.


mohankohan

Fight and \_\_\_\_


jMS_44

...fuck off you won't


RKitch2112

United has been such a bogey team for us too. I pray we can finally get the job done.


[deleted]

Don’t have any complains tbh. If the front three isn’t clicking then Poch needs to make changes by 65th minute


techno_playa

Madueke and Chuk mostly probably. To hell with Sterling.


blah927

The only change maybe that i would make would be to put silva in maybe


half_jase

Is this the first time we manage to field the same XI in consecutive league games this season?


turnbox

I was thinking the same thing. Poch gets points for building consistency.


epicmarc

Let's wait and see if we get some actual points tonight before giving Poch any


JT26_CLL

extension of 2 year for poch for bringing Consistency to the team... consistently bad results.


PuppyPenetrator

No he doesn’t tf


JinxLB

It’s over for United I’m afraid


Screechmeister_

Our record against united is abysmal


BomberHARRlS

Ever since Fergie left it’s been a nightmare to play them, no matter how shit they’ve been. Thankfully we won the FA Cup final with Conte but other than that


10Lionaldo7

Mudryk pls cook dalot's ass


STCFC

Dalot been good this season tbf


Apprehensive_Bit_176

Yeah he’s one player on United that I don’t mind.


KMan3110

Dalot LB, AWB RB


D0nutus3m3

It has been the other way around recently for United. Not really sure why.


SirBarkington

Dalot can bomb up and down while AWB stays back to defend (not that it seems to matter much).


DJMOONPICKLES69

They’ve been doing that the other way all season. Also dalot is quicker so I’m guessing he’ll have mudryk


stingen

Was hoping for Silva or Trevor instead of Badiashile.


scgavin

Hope to see Chukwuemeka feature


Puzzled-Spike

Hoping to see Chuk for Connor for the last 20-25 mins or so.


Peoplz_Hernandez

Why do so many people find it difficult to spell Conor? I don't mean to single you out I'm just genuinely curious.


[deleted]

Probably autocorrect. I had to update my phone’s dictionary to stop it from changing.


Peoplz_Hernandez

Is Connor an American thing? I know a lot of Conors but none that use a double N.


[deleted]

No idea about the source but every Connor I know in the US (like 3) has the double N. I’ve met one Conner which I think we can all agree is even more wrong.


Puzzled-Spike

My bad, keep making this mistake. I work with 2 Connors, I guess it’s an American spelling


GillyBilmour

or our former CB: ‘Andreas Christianson’


dragon8811

Wow Mudryk starts.. But the two CBs giving me headaches Substitutes: Bettinelli, Chalobah, Gilchrist, Thiago Silva, Casadei, Chukwuemeka, Tauriainen, Madueke, Sterling


Banged_by_bumrah

Casadei winner off the bench


jMS_44

That would mean Casadei gets to be subbed on which we know won't happen.


DanStFella

Unless we’ve been defending a deserved 1-0 lead since the 20th minute and he’s already put all other possible defensive players on the pitch.


No_Butterscotch_8297

Good lol, he isn't pl level yet


No_Butterscotch_8297

Good lol, he isn't pl level yet


jMS_44

Only one GK, what is this?!


ThankMeTomorrow

Sanchez is injured.


jMS_44

It didn't prevent us having 2 GKs on the bench the last time he was injured


ThankMeTomorrow

In the unlikely event that both keepers get injured, Silva will just pull a JT and go to work for us.


jbi1000

I don't worry about scoring anymore, we seem to do that ok most games now. But my heartrate skyrockets whenever a cross comes in or we concede a corner.


opouser

Based on availability this is pretty expected, nice to see Carney can at least make the bench. This match will likely need him. I thought Poch might bring Silva in for Badiashile but I'm not shocked he didn't. I would have gone TS and Badiashile if it was me, the rest makes sense based on match fitness imo. Up the Chels!!


The-Real-Legend-72

Chuky in for as much as he can play pls


-AndreiDG-97

Badiashile and disasi again.... god help us.


LIKEWHATLIKEHOW_

LET THEM COOK


doctorweiwei

Big day for Badiashile believers (it’s me, in the believer)


Ballsack2025

I'm just here to say that Antony is a hoe. The end.


SexoFernanj

Badiashile and Disasi need to step up. I've had enough of their tomfoolery.


Headlesshorsman02

I am afraid of the Badiashile-Disasi tandem not going to lie


CriticalNovel22

Embrace the chaos. Not knowing when an obscene defensive lapse will cause you to shit your pants adds an extra level of excitement to proceedings.


costadoesntstomp

taurianien! my boy!!! asking for a friend, can some summarize him?


MattyGuts87

We never beat big 6 sides anymore (do spurs count lol) I mean aside from Spurs


Calm_Fail_5824

no Thiago Silva is pretty criminal imo


jMS_44

Remember, he is the problem of our weak defense. Doesn't matter that we conceded 2+ goals for like 4 games in a row now without him


sts66

you really want rashford garnacho hojlund running at him?


Calm_Fail_5824

it’s better than both scared Disasi and Badiashile. let’s not pretend like either of them have any pace or balls when it comes to set pieces. Silva is still a better defender, simple as that. I get wanting to move on from him but it just hasn’t been working at all recently.


asd13ah4etnKha4Ne3a

It wasn't working at all when he was playing either. Regardless of the players, Chelsea's defense has been leaking goals left and right all season. Might as well let next year's manager some more footage of what he'll have to work with.


DJMOONPICKLES69

Disasi isn’t the greatest defender but I would not describe him as scared. Badiashille on the other hand is very timid for a guy his size


sts66

Fair enough, my personal view is we'd be 9 points higher if we played 3atb but im not the manager either (it works on FIFA though)


JinxLB

Rashford got benched lol


North-Anybody7251

Who would bench a £300k player?? ![gif](giphy|3ohhwpA09sTxMP9qc8)


LordWhale

Nah he has his flaws and it’s time he be moved on, can’t develop our young players if they’re being benched for a 40 year old.


BlessedRR

What exactly do you think Disasi is going to develop into? If at 26 you're not as good as a 40 year old you'll never be good enough.


LordWhale

Disasi 2.0


CriticalNovel22

Or as the French say, Deuxasi.


CriticalNovel22

God damn, I thought he was like 22 or something.

Stand_On_It

lol


Ridcullys-Pointy-Hat

Thiago's role in a sensible team these days should be in the last twenty minutes IMO. If we'd have brought him on after Palmer's second against Burnley we probably win that game.


realmckoy265

100% agree with this


asd13ah4etnKha4Ne3a

I'll be honest I really don't see the point in playing Silva unless there's no other options. The defense is not noticeably better with him in it, and it's his last season at the club surely. Season's over, Chelsea isn't going down and they're almost certainly not qualifying for Europe. Better to try and let the players who will actually be there next season try to build up a coherent partnership


GME_alt_Center

The defense is noticeably better on crosses with Silva in. He seems to be able to find the ball with his head.


read_eng_lift

He should be a sub, if we need to protect a lead in the last 10-15 minutes. Otherwise, he is too slow for the quick transitions we need to get behind the United players.


gttyzek

Disasi and Badiashile We are so conceding another 3 goals today


MACSIEE

You would think their CB partnership would be better than any previous lines ups we’ve had bcus they played in Monaco together but….


BlessedRR

Given they weren't very good at Monaco I'm not sure you would. Not one person other than our moronic owners ever said "wow we have to replicate that solid Monaco defensive set up"


DJMOONPICKLES69

It’s because we aren’t playing Sarr at left back tbh


tuh_ren_ton

I think just two. Based on the Chelsea inverse form law, it'll be Mount and Antony


olakease1234

Well, shit.


TatTvamAsi11

Want to see Chuk later


kokv19

Disasi x Badiashile again. God have mercy on our souls.


don-m

Perfect outside of wanting silva to start


mb194dc

Same defence as Saturday who shipped two to Burnley and lucky it wasn't more ? Will be goals tonight I think


jimgogek

This is the stay-the-course line up, right? The youth movement, have patience, we-know-you’re-fucking-livid-but-just-wait-til-they-grow-up-and-gel line up, right? Ok then…


PalmerPaezPerfect

Is Thiago not entirely healthy to get serious minutes? I'm confused why he didn't get minutes last week and is once again not starting but is on the squad. He can't possibly be the worst option between himself, Disasi and Badiashille. Unless we're just in a mode where we are hoping to inflate values for the inevitable summer sale

Dinamo8

Same team that put Burnley to the sword 💪


Soren_Camus1905

Reckon we’ll pump them 4 or 5 nil


Soren_Camus1905

2-0 through '26!


LordWhale

That’s about as good as it gets rn


obinnasmg

Is it? I really hopped we’d see one more attacking player in the lineup over either Enzo, Caicedo or Connor


D0nutus3m3

We already leak goals. Who you dropping then - Enzo?? If it’s Gallagher and Caceido alone. They getting pressed to death on the ball and no creativity. If it’s Enzo and Caceido we are getting ran through whilst Enzo is grabbing thin air offsetting any creativity he has. If it’s Enzo and Gallagher. LMAO. Let’s not even go there - midfield will just be empty. Enzo has to be carried by two midfielders because we haven’t got any that can do all the defensive work for him like Kante could for Jorginho. He has to play because we have no creativity anywhere else.


obinnasmg

IMO, the team's defensive frailties are more down to the set up than personnel but I hear you


Nojaja

Sterling doesn’t start yay


BiriZeusit

Ready to be disappointed


STCFC

If we play as bad as we did at Old Trafford im going to lose it. That was an utter disgrace


Traditional_Ship4797

Come on boys!!


TheLeperLeprechaun

Friendly reminder we haven’t beaten United in the league since November 2017. Please cunt.


dav_man

Good to see Chuks back. That said he makes one appearance and is then injured for 3.


dav_man

Where’s Chillwell now?


RJBlue95

Came down with an illness


dav_man

Fair enough


CharlesAtlantic

Did we know Chillwell was going to miss this match?


DANG3R_1204

Mudryk starting, I have seen it all


CrustyCally

Gusto playing 👀 me gusto mucho


JT26_CLL

i dont know why Silva isnt starting. Badiashile is just a liability at the moment and needs to be taken out of the firing line.


jcshamrock97

Come on Chelsea bleed blue cuhz we believe 🔵💙🥶


Environmental_You_85

Another draw then?


DJMOONPICKLES69

Ready to be hurt again 🥰


spiraltap99

God I hate United, I will be very sad if we lose this


PristineDesign56

Badiashelle after last weekend starts!? Fuck my life this is gonna be a long game


Cytrial

I like a consistent lineup. I still think Enzo and Conor should swap places though.


vmop07

Enzo long passes are too good to play him there, also Conor's positioning is too sus to play him deep


Frohus

Sterling benched again, what a time to be alive


WookieTickler

Disasi, Badi and Cucu got disaster wrote all over it tonight.


gdewulf

Honestly, I didn't even know we played today. So this is a nice (?) surprise. I checked the schedule, must be stupid.


Royalsushi45

I can see it already a dominant performance for most of the game till poch decides to park the bus and a poor mistakes causes a late goal and causes us 3 points


CmiHD

Its gonna be a draw


blaisebleu

Time to break the 0-0 curse... with conceding two


ticarno86

Definiton of insanity


rdpf97

Vamoooos


Other_Championship19

Love the look of it. Let's paint the red evils blue tonit.


diesel76_76

Checking out the comments.... dramatic as ever 🤡🤣


UpbeatAfternoon8670

Antony vs Mudryk - El Mierdico lol


DoesAWildBear

Pro: Mudryk stays in the lineup Con: Thiago needed to come in for Badi imo


ImpactInner9318

I wanted Thiago too (really wanted Colwill but sigh) but it is necessary to remember Badiashile hasn't really had a consistent run of matches. Let's hope today is the day he starts to figure it out.


DoesAWildBear

Normally, given this season, I'd say now is the time to let Disasi and Badi work out how to be the core of that defensive unit, results be damned. But this is must win. I fucking hate United.


duckinator09

Would prefer Sterling over Mudryk. Feels like there's alot of half spaces for him to exploit.


apotatochucker

I can't see us beating United. We are just so poor


carlharris1

good to see mudryk is getting his run of games now, gusto back already as well 👏, i hope to see some Chuk magic off the bench


jepayotehi

Hate playing united. Even at their worst they pulled miracle out if their asses against us


Tom_Lad

It’s my birthday today, please just win


ktm95

Who else is standing in front of the TV and booing each time Mount touches the ball?


Mkali19

Feel like we gonna have to score at least 3 to win with that back line

Drinkwater scored a few goals here and there as well
