Manchester United v Chelsea FA Cup Semi-Final - Official Match Thread 19/7/20 6pm

2 draws is enough.

leicester will be bang up for the last game of the season. it's a cup final, and being underdogs will suit them.

the team i posted looks shit because bruno isn't in it. he can't play every game. ideally he'd have been rested yesterday, but he wasn't.

He’s definitely much better on the left but pretty dog shit on the right.

Hes a good squad player that could come in for rashford now and then when we have to rotate.

I'm not convinced on James, good start and some good moments, but tailed off horribly and looks £#%&!ing terrified now. Too soon to write him off completely, but he's got work to do.

A draw is a lot different to a win given Chelsea might not win either of their last two...

In that case we can go WL then Chelsea finish 5th.

Games just pass him by now. I'm not seeing much in his game at the moment that suggests he can stay at this level long term

We can't afford to rely on favours from anyone else, nor do we need to.

All this talk of Leicester having more rest, being up for it.... they've been AWFUL recently.

They've won 3 of their last 13 games.

If we can't get a point against them and at home to west ham, we don't deserve top four or favours from anyone else.

Let’s hammer hames who’s played about 60 mins since March. They need a run of games very few can just start at the same levels ..

This would be fair if he hadn’t been struggling since October.

Now he’s been given the all clear I can’t stop laughing at Bailly ffs. Did he injure himself further by trying to tough it out and walk off the pitch he’s a calamity!

There’s a reason he hasn’t been playing. No manager leaves out players who are doing the business for important matches.

This is West Ham managed by Moyes ffs. It should be a formality.

He's £#%&!ing shite.

They are currently in perhaps their best form since he took over, though admittedly that says more about how shite they have more generally been.

Who the £#%&! is Hames?

The "in thing" a few summers ago?

A terrible team selection and an even worse performance.

De Gea is a disgrace to the shirt now. Needs binning off. Lindelof is a complete shithouse.
