So, round three of the must win games if we want to get in next year's Champions League. We lost the previous two rounds, this is absolutely the very definitely last chance. So, will we? The game is on Sunday, at 16.30. This kick off would have stayed the same if we'd got through to the CL semi, obviously. BBC Salford and that. Not really arsed on the team, just want to see some effort.
We know our defence is what it is, but we're not scoring and don't look scoring which is even more of a worry. Herrera has been back in training so could play some of the game. He's needed to create some chances and also hopefully be one of the players getting forward. May seem strange saying this but I actually want Sanchez and Lukaku to start this one. Chelsea are hit and miss so got no idea how they'll be. Hazard and Higuain turn it on and we could be fcked.
is the season defining match ... is what will decide next year CL as simple as that.. I hope to see the team giving their heart we are the underdogs bcz of our recent run and more importantly fakn fixture which allowed chelsea to rest
There's just as much turmoil, maybe even moreso, in the Chelsea ranks. At least ours don't openly throw tantrums on the pitch and on the bench. I don't think they're in much of a better position tbh.
Chelsea will be looking at the Europa League as another way into the CL next season. That’s the only reason I see them not going full-throttle today. I’d like to see McTominay, Herrera and Fred start in midfield with Pogba playing the AMC in front of them with Rashford and Martial up front. What we will probably get is Fred and Pogba in DM with Pereira just sort of running around them and clapping.
I doubt anyone could have forecast this line-up. Hopefully one or two will have injuries in the warm-up and won't manage to start - please.
Yes we are a mess too. Herrera starts for you. Would bs surprised if we manage a point. We've been smashed by every big six side this season Away apart from Liverpool
well ..given Chelsea had a rest and break and our current form .. this can be easily our 8th lose in 10 !!! Pogba starting !! OLE shows lack of personality and authority to make a statement about half arsed performance from Pogba and continuous failure to motivate him chelsea is all about Hazzard .. creating chances for rest .. Willian always lucky against us
Biggest problem for me is that Herrera, Matic and Bailly will not be match fit. They can't possibly be. I think it's perfectly fair that one or two were dropped after Wednesday. Perhaps five changes is not wise though!
we hardly get any luck facing Chelsea.. all the time .. over and over .. so frustrating .. that was first shot on target ... and easy shot
oh fkkk Rashford is out and Sanchez is in .. no matter how bad Martial is .. he has pace and better than stupid Sanchez
