Chelsea vs Manchester United : Official Matchday Thread 22/10/2022 @ 5.30pm

Think he’ll go with Eriksen, unless he really is planning on camping outside their box

The passing range of the team drops dramatically without Eriksen, accurate switches from front to back and flank to flank will be useful tonight. You’re not getting them from Fred.

Same 11 for me Clive.

After that performance it be hard to change the 11 and especially unlucky on Fred. Real chance to get some consistency here

Be nice if Sancho actually £#%&!ing turns up

eriksen for sancho, on form.

and rashers and bruno to bring their shooting boots.

Good call in my opinion. You could argue for Fred but I don’t think he’s ever put in two consecutive good performances

bit... um... attacking, that.

good as our performance v spurs was, you can see how a quicker pressing team would get at us. is that chelsea? we'll see. could struggle in midfield.

L-Sheezy quietly reclaiming his first XI spot. The immovable object.

Subs bench looks weak, so hopefully the first XI can get the job done.

Feels weird going into a big away game with no Mcfred Memories

Kepa? Is he back as first choice under Potter?

Yep & playing well, save of the season contender last week it was I think.

Chelsea playing 3-4-3 so a midfield of Azpilacueta, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho & Chilwell

Feels a bit like they just hope the front 3 do something for them & be solid by moving into a back 5 at times. Let’s hope we score first… Rashford from distance?

Got a corker in the Fizzy Pop Cup a few years ago 'FFS why the £#%&! are they letting him take it' I said to my mate as he smashed it in.

Probably get £#%&!ed over like we always do at Stamford Bridge

No biggie win lose or draw. We’ve had an absolute brutal start in terms of fixtures

Feels £#%&!ing great. $#*! #@&%!s

Ronaldo starts hugging these guys on the touch line and all of a sudden “it’s not so bad”

How can Keane ever talk about Attitude and application and the drive to play for the club and says he can see it from his point of view.
If the manager wants to put him on with 2 mins to go then he gets put on. Talk about other players undermining the manager when ole was here and that they’d do it again because it’s the type of players they are and then give a balanced 50/50 on “I can see why he did it”

He did say it wasn’t the right thing to do, but Ronaldo has no leg to stand on. He refused to come on and left early for the second time.
