Man Utd home

[Livid]

Unfortunately De Gea is having one of those days today. Highly unlikely he’ll have a repeat performance next week. 

[mozartfox]

I think we are going to need Brinks Mat in midfield (with Wilf) as an added protective shield if we play Wes and Bennett.

Look, our defence looks suspect whatever so play a back four and try and another attacker in. We'll need to win so no sitting back on anything.

This team actually looks class

[Guest SO1]

This is exactly what I was hoping for. Last match all to play for. The reason I love football. Pressure. Bring it on!

[Edingleyfox]

On paper with a depleted squad would say 3-1 to United. However, I've been wrong so many times in the past and we know Jamie usually does well against United. Hoping we can forget about the points dropped, live in the present and really go for it.

[don_danbury]

they look pretty awful here tbf

[twister]

united will be miles ahead on goals difference before sunday even happens, they will tonk west ham

 

so the seasons gone for me sadly.playing for pride now.

Not having that, mate. Our destiny was in our own hands, and we’ve pissed it away simply because our bollocks weren’t big enough.

I agree that ultimately we weren't good enough. However, it is a fact that had the Man City ban been upheld then we would've qualified for the UCL. 

[Beachyboy]

Maguires shite any team that have paid more than £40 million for him, have been royally ripped off.

[Dahnsouff]

Are you watching the FA cup semi?

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Man United look as bad as us in this game. Though to be fair, the score flattered Spurs without denying they were the better team

 

With a best 11 we can field and the right formation and tactics, we can win next week.

Watching United today, I firmly believe we still have a chance.

 

De Gea will drop five balls into his net.

We'll need him to do that to even get a draw!

[Blue Collar]

Fantastic finish by slabhead to make it 3 nil for Chelsea. Can't he do the same for his ex.

Not only this game, i've seen a few games where De Gea and Maguire have been doggo, it's just they usually outscore teams so it doesn't get noticed

[jim5000]

No chance, they will be 2 or 3 up in the first 30 minutes and that will be that. We just don’t have the personnel available to compete with them at the moment.

[Harry96]

Getting their bad performance out of their system in the cup. They care more about top 4 anyway 

[Dahnsouff]

Surprised he has left Bruno on

Even though they'll finish above us, it was still the right decision to take the money. They didn't spend £80-odd million on him to finish a few points above Leicester and scrape 4th, he was supposed to be their Van Dijk.

They aren't amazing, seeing this makes me think we win if we can produce 90%, i'd actually prefer it if we end up needing to win rather than draw against united, today was a decent performance but lacked pragmatism and was naive at times, Man Utd will have more possession which means we won't get caught as easily on the counter. Even with injuries we play some good football just need to be a bit sharper in both boxes.

I’m really not convinced they will. West Ham are playing well and Moyes would love to get a result there. Man Utd were poor against Palace and lucky to get the win, and they’ve been pretty awful today. I’m not convinced Utd will have an easy time of it on Wednesday.

[oxtonfox]

Bar Vardy we have no threat. They have threats all over the pitch against our makeshift and glacial defence. We're long odds against winning.

Agreed. It’s just the kind of match that West Ham will turn up for.

Yes top 4 more important. Else you end up in some dogshit Europa cup on a Thursday....oh shit.

I really hope you’re right. If we go into next Sunday’s game needing to win by any score, I’ll definitely take that.

 

We are at home, where we played brilliantly only a few days ago, and even this seemingly passionless group of players would surely be up for the chance to beat the mighty Manchester United for a Champions League place - even without the fans to cheer them on.

Nacho has to start at least he knows where the goal is and links up well with Vardy if he don't start then we have no chance whatsoever
