Match chat.

Really need Chelsea to step up here. A draw will do.

1-1

the hope as always is that united hold on to possession, create chances and take them. But with united's play usually against the top 6, i expect a strong defensive performance with few chances. They will hold onto possession as chelsea will let them and hope to counter.

Then second half will be more open as both teams loosen up and we'll have some goals. 2-1 united as a prediction.

Herrara will be a miss as he had hazard in his back pocket last season at OT. Hazard and willian have been great performers for chelsea, be interesting if conte goes with no striker again. Also whether Pogba plays again, he's painfully out of form but has the ability to great the killer chance.

This fixture usually gives us a red card, normally at the bridge though. I can't imagine it's going to be one for the neutrels, both teams like to stifle.

You're as bad as that Scottish Liverpool fan who's name escapes me.

His interest in Man Utd has certainly waned, coinciding with their fall from dominance funnily enough. The only reds you'll see Horatio cheer for these days are Aberdeen.

 

[Benji]

This is a good opportunity for young Paul Pogba to learn from Scott McTominay in my opinion.

 

[Bilo]

Chelsea the much better team early on.

 

[Pagnell]

Lovely, left United for dead.

0-1 Chelsea. And deserved.

 

[G-Dragon]

Bbbbbut De Gea world class? better than Karius?

 

[Bilo]

Lukaku is a well and truly awful football player at times.

 

[Pagnell]

Lukaku? Big game? Does not compute.

 

[Bilo]

And then he goes on to score sorry guys

 

[Benji]

Lukaku? Big game? Does not compute.

It's not a big game because neither team has anything left to play for.

 

[G-Dragon]

Lukaku? Big game? Does not compute.

40 odd years of footy knowledge folks.

 

[Pagnell]

Love it, I've really got into the plastic Liverpool fan's head. He seems a bit obsessed with me.

 

[G-Dragon]

ahhhh plastic comments coming from someone who throws aliverpool player under bus every chance he gets >

 

[Pagnell]

De Gea not convincing today. They should offer us a swap with Karius. The German is fantastic.

 

[G-Dragon]

What a hit by Lukaku...really unlucky.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Bbbbbut De Gea world class? better than Karius?

Christ. You real are a desperately sad soul arent you?

 

[Pagnell]

Poor defending.

 

[DarkSithLord]

YES JESSE

Lukaku? Big game? Does not compute.

cracking assist for what should be the match winner there pags mate

 

[G-Dragon]

United fans coming out now they are ahead? shocking!

 

[Pagnell]

Not offside. Chelsea robbed.

 

[G-Dragon]

Don't think that was offside...

 

[Bilo]

Isn’t it united that have got something like seven or eight offside goals given as well? Lucky c*nts.

 

[Pagnell]

A yellow card for winning the ball. Some cracking decisions here for the home team.

 

[G.B]

his shoulder looked offside. you can legally score with your shoulder, therefore a brilliant call. congratulations and well done linesman imvho

While I appreciate the straw you’re grasping the second replay showed that his shoulder, too, was onside.
