Lacey’s gonna come on and score
Mainoo back is huge
Kobbie back, massive!
Nice! Cunha, Sesko and Mbeumo start together!
When was the last time this club had all senior CBs available? 2 years?
🫣 backline
**Mainoo, Mbeumo and Dalot all back in for Man United at Chelsea.**
Heaven the only recognised centre-back in the XI. Ugarte and Amad on the bench.
**Substitutes: Bayindir, Malacia, T.Fletcher, Mount, Thwaites, Ugarte, Amad, Lacey, Zirkzee.**
Michael Carrick has made four changes from Monday night’s 2-1 defeat at home to Leeds United.
Ayden Heaven and Diogo Dalot come into the defence in place of Lisandro Martinez – who is suspended along with Harry Maguire – and Leny Yoro.
Kobbie Mainoo returns to midfield ahead of Manuel Ugarte, after missing the Leeds game with an injury sustained in training.
Nice to have Dalot back.
JIMMY THWAITESSSSSS!!
Mainooooooooo
I like the choice front 3 of the new signings, please just take a draw home boys it’s all we need.
Thwaites!
Doubt he will get minutes this game but still
Glad Bryan is back. Like Amad but just not enough end product this season.
Makes sense Maz at RCB.
Not as worried as I was yesterday tbh.
I like it
Thank God Mainoo is back! I saw a lineup from an app I use, I saw the same midfield and I started yelling.
No Ugarte thank Christ
please just win, hope Nouss has a better game at cb than last week at rb
Dorgu is really a big miss and so sad his injury happened after scoring multiple times.
3-1 calling it now comeback here thanks guys
Christ that defence is shite. Need reinforcements badly in the summer
Thwaites!!! Get in!!!
One defender on bench, god bless us
Why are we starting an AM at centre back? Heh.
Best lineup we could’ve hoped for imo. Hopefully Shaw’s experience holds down the defence alongside Heaven
You know how Arteta/Pulis love a back fourade up for four centre backs… We’re 1 injury away from the inverse of that
Basically very thin at the back but our attack is very capable of scoring goals.
Chelsea always turn it up against us at the bridge.
Back 4 isn’t ideal but you know what? No freaking excuses.
It will be hard, very hard, but fight for the 3 points and nothing less.
I want to see bravery with subs as well Carrick. Throw on Lacey regardless of score with 15 minutes to go. The kid has the arrogance and confidence for games like this.
Not confident about this one at all but at least Mainoo’s back
Good to see Amad not starting. He’s been very poor recently.
3-1 Win for United
Mainoo just saved us from Ugarte. Makes Heaven’s life easier hopefully.
Hi Pope Francis I know your being praying a lot for peace in the Middle East lately but if you could throw in one about our back-line not getting injured that would be grand
Hopefully we can snatch a win, Chelsea hasn’t done well at home for a while (outside the FA cup match)
Only solution to having no defenders is to all out in Offense.
NO MORE UGARTE
Poor line up. We are going to struggle without a natural winger on the pitch. Amad has to start
Good to see Lacey back on the bench. Hope he gets minutes when we’re 3-0 up.
Ugarte definitely has to go this summer.
Thwaites is a proper old school footballer name. I love it.
Anulo Mufa 🕯️🕯️
Really hope that we have a reason to put on Shea Lacey for a cameo at some point.
Thwaites 😍
anyone got any info of Thwaites? never heard of him haha
Do we have 1 defender on the bench with Malacia? Or is Thwaites a defender?
