Bellerin, Tierney and Holding all still in recovery. Ceballos and Lacazette on the bench after small knocks, and Pepe and Luiz needing match fitness, neither having played a pre-season game. Ozil involved in another security incident at his place on Thursday - he and Kolasinac excused (not a bad thing)
Nelson and Willock will both get a lot of time this year providing they don’t turn shite. The former takes Iwobi’s place and the latter is seen as similar to Ramsey.
Quite exciting having 3 academy kids lads on the field.
Shame they’re all fucking shite
If they were any good you would know them by their first names.
Wolves had a goal disallowed because of a ball-to-hand situation in the build up.
Apparently now all goals that involve any kind of handball in the build up will be disallowed. Whether accidental or not.
Saint-Maximim
Just look at that hair.
De Gea; Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Pogba, 'Andreas'; Lingard, Rashford, Martial.
Would have liked Greenwood and James in there but at least Sanchez, Mata and Matic aren't in the 11.
Man Utd: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, Pogba, Pereira, McTominay, Martial, Rashford, Lingard
Chelsea Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Zouma, Emerson, Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount, Barkley, Pedro, Abraham.
Who's Mount?
Home grown player that's been on loan for years. Been at Derby & Vitesse from what I can remember.
Mason Mount, been at Chelsea for a while and loaned out a lot including to Lampard's Derby last season.
What the fuck is this shit?
Kante is injured right now I believe.
Not fit enough to start though.
Aubameyang, my word. We barely created a thing today and the one chance he gets he knocks it in like it’s second nature.
How the mighty have fallen
Sooner the better it's back to normal and they're top again.
Already this is a gongshow.
We're still shit. Not sure why I'm surprised.
Big Fat Luke Shaw looks unfit, and Andreas Pereira is a nothing midfielder.
Chelsea will be comedy with their defence this year. Rudiger will have to put a shift in this season
What a challenge.
You were saying?
This will be 3/4 for Man Utd just on the break alone.
Rashford is incredible at penalties.
Both sides need an extra training session for finishing at this rate.
Wan-Bissaka is one of them cheat players like Kante.
If we can see out 3 points I'll be very thankful we got Chelsea now where they look utterly disorganized and confused.
Chelsea look good beyond the defending. United look like that 2011 season start where Anderson and Tom Cleverley were allowing twenty shots a game but the defence covered it up.
Is it me or does Barkley look like an arrogant cunt.
Martial is keeping 'Alexis' relevant with this shitter.
I'm giving Lewis the assist there.
Abraham and Giroud as your first choice strikers won’t be much fun.
That's probably the best cross Old Trafford has seen from a home player in about 3 years.
Does Beckham count when they played the 99 reunion?
Stay 3-0 and I win 145 from a fiver.
Can we add 'Frank Lampard's Chelsea' to the TTH Style Guide? I haven't heard anything like it since 'Harry Redknapp's Tottenham', which can't be a coincidence.
Defoe got a hat trick today from a combined distance of about three quarters of an inch. He looked seriously sharp, although if his finishing from ten to eighteen yards had been better he could have had nine.
For his own sake Joe Aribo needs to spend a maximum of two years up here then go to the Premier League. He mugs people off far too casually, and there are far too many little shithouse players who make more money off their second job as a brickie's mate who'll get sick of it and put him up in the air. Unless he's made of granite he'll spend at least a month of this season injured.
Chelsea look a right laugh.
Oh well, lol at Lampard.
