The midfield is now Gusto and Acheampong - even Maresca is enjoying tonight.

Am I the only one who thinks that Gusto's game has deteriorated so badly, and his passing ability is so bad that he should be nowhere near the first team.

Yeah he has been decent for us, just not for a while now.

I guess that means James and Sancho will probably feature on Sunday, albeit probably not as starters.

So Caisedo RFB, Noni and Neto on the wings.

I think they'll feature on the bench.

Yea night and day compared to last season!

Antwi looks better than Gusto LOL

Solanke and Mount score in two European semi-finals and we have Acheampong, Chalobah, Walsh, George, Mheuka and Antwi on the pitch. Good night for Cobham.

We all know what needs to happen though

We all know Ange always wins a trophy in his second season.

Tbh even under Poch I never rated Gusto with the ball. Was always a sloppy player.

Defensively he’s fallen off a cliff.

Don’t think Acheampong has got a future as number 9

Like him so far.

Gusto under Maresca

Correct me if I'm wrong, but bizarrely Antwi is the first ever Swedish player to get a game for Chelsea.

Well Jorgenson is actually Swedish by birth but I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

Mount just scored for United. 2 goals in 2 games now.

Bodo-Glimt what a let down. Getting pummeled by Spurs.

So now we have to hope United win the final...

Embarrassing for Uefa their second tier competition has those two for a final.

Acheampong looks like he’ll have all the attributes to go a long way. Hope he gets more PL game time next season

Magnus Hedman made the bench a couple of times, but had no minutes on the pitch, so yes Antwi is a first for Sweden !

Runners up trophy? 🏆

All 3 English teams winning 5-1

Reggie reminds me a little of Billy Gilmour.

Anyone see a bit of Billy Gilmour about Walsh. Just the way he jogs about.

Just thought the same thing. Where is wee Billy these days?

Possible Serie A winner with Napoli that’s where.

Tottenham did the double over United in the PL this season, and had a win and a draw in Ange's first season.

Does not augur well !
