I'm surprised Chelsea have spent so much and not bothered to upgrade the goalkeeper.

I think VAR got that about right really...

Absolutely right, no one seems to listen to what the ref said, he ruled it out because the palace player was less than 1m from the wall when the player took the free kick

 

[BaZ87]

Palace not knowing the rules again. They were probably sent to the wrong email address.

Brentford look really poor. Could be a long season for them.

Brentford look really poor. Could be a long season for them.

Lost their great long serving manager and double whammy lost their best goalscorer. Throw in a rookie manager and they've got to be hoping there are 3 teams worse than them this season.

 

[Converge]

Bayindir in goal. I know Onana’s bad, but may as well just throw the game away with Bayindir around. He’s so, so bad.

 

[Purdy]

Chelsea kit looks horrendous with that badge

Wow on the floor faster than Katie Price at a stag party

 

[Calpol]

Manchester United XI: Bayindir, De Light, Yoro, Shaw, Dalot, Fernandes, Casemiro, Dorgu, Mount, Mbeumo, Cunha

Subs: Heaton, Maguire, Zirkzee, Amad, Ugarte, Heaven, Sesko, Fredricson, Mainoo

Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard, Martinelli, Saka, Gyokeres

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, Merino, Nwaneri, Madueke, Havertz, Lewis-Skelly, Timber, Trossard

Pre-match positivity evaporates when you see that Amorim thinks, Shaw, Casemiro and Mount are the answer to defeating Arsenal at Old Trafford. Sigh.

 

[mid_gen]

Mount and Dorgu have been linking up nicely in pre-season. I don't think it's a terrible idea.

Replacement for Casemiro is sorely needed still though.

RIP Hojlund.

It’s like they used Microsoft Word and added jpegs in the design room

I am hoping with 1 game a week Shaw might actually be able to stay fit.

What happened to that kid we signed? He injured already? That bench doesn't look too bad actually although better not get my hopes up!

Also I knew my tactic of logging into now tv last week would work as I got a £19.99 a month offer for a year for sky sports on Friday .

With Casemiro, he's probably going the 'experience' route. But Shaw... he's just going to cause a goal-scoring opportunity or continue his own goal form.

 

[Robbo]

Really disappointed he's not starting Sesko, I think that's weak.

Team looks pretty defensive, which I do understand to a certain extent.

 

[C Kent]

Not sure what would be more amusing, a boring 0-0 draw, an arsenal loss or man utd getting smashed

You getting a ban?

 

[C Kent]

You getting a ban?

More chance of that than arsenal ending the season with a trophy

 

[kamz]

Big game time now

 

[scarps]

Why was the Palace goal disallowed. Just seen it and something about 1m from the wall.

 

[Bigpig]

Hey Chelsea!! Isak for 150m and Jackson?
