What's new

Chelsea vs Manchester United (PL) Friday 16th May 20:00 GMT

Final home game so lap of honor immediately happens after the match, correct?

The absolute scenes if we fail to win.

 
Yup he is completely done with us, but given Maresca turned to him vs Brentford I would not be surprised.

But then took him of as soon as second half started. Also judging by his comments, makes me think he is not in his thoughts, especially for CF position. This was Maresca's exact words. Only referred to him and Guiu as our strikers.

"What you have to do is avoid this kind of thing because you need all your squad available for the next game," said Maresca. "But it happened, now he will be out for the rest of the season and hopefully he can learn for the future.

"The season for him is finished. He's our nine, he's our striker, the other one is Marc Guiu that you know is already injured from the last three months. He's close to being back and we need to find a different solution for the last two games. They are both important games."

Will see what the different solution ends up being. I'm not writing off the possibility it is nkunku.

 
No Sancho, No Jackson. If stats is right and the solution maresca talked about is not either nkunku or guiu, that likely leave George.

But... could Maresca throw a huge curve ball and go with Reggie Walsh, then moving either Neto or Palmer up top?

 
I love the unbridled optimism re this fixture. Before we count all 3 points may I humbly remind the forum that no matter how 🐕 💩 poor United have been for the last decade they seem to nearly always have our number. So don’t be surprised if it’s a draw or worse. Just tempering expectations 🥹

 
For me this will be where it dies and maybe all remaining games start to unravel.

I can see this being 1-1. I have consistently seen us either getting rolled or only drawing by some of the worst United sides in living memory. The glorious Palmer masterclass has been an outlier in a sea of dross underperformances against teams that at that moment we should have hammered.

 
I think this will be a tough one. For some reason they play their best sh*te football against us. We haven't figured out as a team that they are one of the easiest sides to beat in the league this season. We still consider them a top side.

We didn't win one league game against them when they had Ole...

The 4-3 game last season was the first time we beat them in the league in about 8 years which is astonishing given how poor they've been since Ferguson left.

I'm not confident about this game at all, they can still show up in the Europa League, they can no doubt show up against us too.

Apparently Evissy there are no easy sides in this division 😉

I think your right - for some reason they're always well up for it against us.

Last years win, when Cole got 2 in the last 10 minutes was one of the best wins ever for me by Chelsea. They thought they'd won it with Garnacho's header but it all fell apart in the last couple of minutes of Fergie time 😁 Palmer - Legend in one game for me !

 
Down here we say "I double dog dare you". That means it's a serious dare.

I’m more worried about this one than Forest. I don’t think it will be easy.

Maybe close 1-0 or 1-1.

 
I'm much more worried about Forest. Man Utd haven't won a game in the league for two months (D2 L5) and have the Europa League Final, their only salvation, on Wednesday.

If we can't finally give these useless f**ks a pasting we don't deserve to qualify for the Champions' League. With any luck they'll out-incompetent us like they did last year.

What makes me more nervous is that I'm almost certain that Villa will win both remaining fixtures (Tottenham H, Man Utd A), meaning we need to do the same. I am far less certain of the latter happening.

 
Everybody need to calm down.

Never mind being one of the worst teams in the league, they are going to use their second string team, the players who couldn’t break into first team despite the dismal season they’re having.

4-0 to Chels.

No doubt Maresca and the players will celebrate like we won the league but we have to remember we’re playing relegation fodder, despite the name.

 
United predicted XI

Onana, Mantato, Fredicson, Lindelof, Shaw, Amass, Eriksen, Mainoo, Mount, Garnacho, Obi
