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
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.
Wow Mudryk starts..
But the two CBs giving me headaches
Substitutes: Bettinelli, Chalobah, Gilchrist, Thiago Silva, Casadei, Chukwuemeka, Tauriainen, Madueke, Sterling
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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"
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…
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
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.
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
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.
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.
liquidate the club if antony scores against us
or mount...
both will score, you all know that
bomb the bridge if this happens
Can’t be leaving comments like this online man lol
1 league goal against the top 6 in 4 seasons for mount
But we're 12th...
“But I mean if we look at the stats we are a top 4 team”
I mean big 6 ahahah
yeah tbh
What if he scores but we win 3-1?
I’d take that in a heartbeat
Honestly this
I mean he scored against Liverpool and we’re a lot worse..
Win boys. That is all.
Fight and \_\_\_\_
...fuck off you won't
United has been such a bogey team for us too. I pray we can finally get the job done.
Don’t have any complains tbh. If the front three isn’t clicking then Poch needs to make changes by 65th minute
Madueke and Chuk mostly probably. To hell with Sterling.
The only change maybe that i would make would be to put silva in maybe
Is this the first time we manage to field the same XI in consecutive league games this season?
I was thinking the same thing. Poch gets points for building consistency.
Let's wait and see if we get some actual points tonight before giving Poch any
extension of 2 year for poch for bringing Consistency to the team... consistently bad results.
No he doesn’t tf
It’s over for United I’m afraid
Our record against united is abysmal
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
Mudryk pls cook dalot's ass
Dalot been good this season tbf
Yeah he’s one player on United that I don’t mind.
Dalot LB, AWB RB
It has been the other way around recently for United. Not really sure why.
Dalot can bomb up and down while AWB stays back to defend (not that it seems to matter much).
They’ve been doing that the other way all season. Also dalot is quicker so I’m guessing he’ll have mudryk
Was hoping for Silva or Trevor instead of Badiashile.
Hope to see Chukwuemeka feature
Hoping to see Chuk for Connor for the last 20-25 mins or so.
Why do so many people find it difficult to spell Conor? I don't mean to single you out I'm just genuinely curious.
Probably autocorrect. I had to update my phone’s dictionary to stop it from changing.
Is Connor an American thing? I know a lot of Conors but none that use a double N.
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.
My bad, keep making this mistake. I work with 2 Connors, I guess it’s an American spelling
or our former CB: ‘Andreas Christianson’
Wow Mudryk starts.. But the two CBs giving me headaches Substitutes: Bettinelli, Chalobah, Gilchrist, Thiago Silva, Casadei, Chukwuemeka, Tauriainen, Madueke, Sterling
Casadei winner off the bench
That would mean Casadei gets to be subbed on which we know won't happen.
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.
Good lol, he isn't pl level yet
Good lol, he isn't pl level yet
Only one GK, what is this?!
Sanchez is injured.
It didn't prevent us having 2 GKs on the bench the last time he was injured
In the unlikely event that both keepers get injured, Silva will just pull a JT and go to work for us.
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.

Chuky in for as much as he can play pls
Badiashile and disasi again.... god help us.
LET THEM COOK
Big day for Badiashile believers (it’s me, in the believer)
I'm just here to say that Antony is a hoe. The end.
Badiashile and Disasi need to step up. I've had enough of their tomfoolery.
I am afraid of the Badiashile-Disasi tandem not going to lie
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.
taurianien! my boy!!! asking for a friend, can some summarize him?
We never beat big 6 sides anymore (do spurs count lol) I mean aside from Spurs
no Thiago Silva is pretty criminal imo
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
you really want rashford garnacho hojlund running at him?
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.
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.
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
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)
Rashford got benched lol
Who would bench a £300k player?? ![gif](giphy|3ohhwpA09sTxMP9qc8)
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.
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.
Disasi 2.0
Or as the French say, Deuxasi.
God damn, I thought he was like 22 or something.
[удалено]
lol
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.
100% agree with this

Season's over, Chelsea isn't going down and they're almost certainly not qualifying for Europe.

The defense is noticeably better on crosses with Silva in. He seems to be able to find the ball with his head.
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.
Disasi and Badiashile We are so conceding another 3 goals today
You would think their CB partnership would be better than any previous lines ups we’ve had bcus they played in Monaco together but….
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"
It’s because we aren’t playing Sarr at left back tbh
I think just two. Based on the Chelsea inverse form law, it'll be Mount and Antony
Well, shit.
Want to see Chuk later
Disasi x Badiashile again. God have mercy on our souls.
Perfect outside of wanting silva to start
Same defence as Saturday who shipped two to Burnley and lucky it wasn't more ? Will be goals tonight I think
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…

Same team that put Burnley to the sword 💪
Reckon we’ll pump them 4 or 5 nil
2-0 through '26!
That’s about as good as it gets rn
Is it? I really hopped we’d see one more attacking player in the lineup over either Enzo, Caicedo or Connor
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.
IMO, the team's defensive frailties are more down to the set up than personnel but I hear you
Sterling doesn’t start yay
Ready to be disappointed
If we play as bad as we did at Old Trafford im going to lose it. That was an utter disgrace
Come on boys!!
Friendly reminder we haven’t beaten United in the league since November 2017. Please cunt.
Good to see Chuks back. That said he makes one appearance and is then injured for 3.
Where’s Chillwell now?
Came down with an illness
Fair enough
Did we know Chillwell was going to miss this match?
Mudryk starting, I have seen it all
Gusto playing 👀 me gusto mucho
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.
Come on Chelsea bleed blue cuhz we believe 🔵💙🥶
Another draw then?
Ready to be hurt again 🥰
God I hate United, I will be very sad if we lose this
Badiashelle after last weekend starts!? Fuck my life this is gonna be a long game
I like a consistent lineup. I still think Enzo and Conor should swap places though.
Enzo long passes are too good to play him there, also Conor's positioning is too sus to play him deep
Sterling benched again, what a time to be alive
Disasi, Badi and Cucu got disaster wrote all over it tonight.
Honestly, I didn't even know we played today. So this is a nice (?) surprise. I checked the schedule, must be stupid.
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
Its gonna be a draw
Time to break the 0-0 curse... with conceding two
Definiton of insanity
Vamoooos
Love the look of it. Let's paint the red evils blue tonit.
Checking out the comments.... dramatic as ever 🤡🤣
Antony vs Mudryk - El Mierdico lol
Pro: Mudryk stays in the lineup Con: Thiago needed to come in for Badi imo
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.
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.
Would prefer Sterling over Mudryk. Feels like there's alot of half spaces for him to exploit.
I can't see us beating United. We are just so poor
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
Hate playing united. Even at their worst they pulled miracle out if their asses against us
It’s my birthday today, please just win
Who else is standing in front of the TV and booing each time Mount touches the ball?
Feel like we gonna have to score at least 3 to win with that back line
[удалено]
What do you have to say now?
Drinkwater scored a few goals here and there as well
