That's a shame
Jorgino Kante and Kova v Static Matic would have been fun
Shaw pulled out of England duty too for us.
They're all still hungover and rough from the celebrations after hammering relegation favourites Newcastle 3-2

haha mike.
Tbf shaw being out is a bonus, looks good for you guys
Tbh, I don't think any of us hold any hope for the Chelsea game anyway. Both from a spectacle perspective and results.
hmmm i dunno, it's your first game away to a top team I believe? Pressure off, you never know.
In normal circumstances i'd be concerned Jose would pull off his trademark 0-0 or 0-1 smash and grab vs footballing sides.
But the way this United are playing, surely not!!!

You've definitely jinxed it now.
I'll put Chelsea on my coupon and between us we'll guarantee a United win.
Yeah this will be one of Jose's 'masterclass' stink out the joint type games I feel. There's no rhythm or consistency to the Utd team at the moment. They're all over the shop. Which is why they will do the opposite of what the bookies odds are saying and win. Won't mean a thing though as Utd are still a mess.

If we do lose to United it won't be because i made a post on an anonymous Internet forum 99.9999999999999999999% recurring people on this planet have no idea exist.

Pressure off? We’re 8th ffs
This potentially could be an interesting test. With teams like Pool & Arsenal you know the spaces will open, but will be interesting to see how we perform against a team that will get men behind the ball with more bite to their counter.
If United were playing well I'd have backed them to beat us actually, but if we manage to control midfield (which we should) they won't have the energy, will or quality in defense to prevent us penetrating.the way they're playing right now.
I'd go as far as saying if we get the first goal the game's over, the environment is anti-Jose and he's lost half his dressing room, several players will down tool if the game gets away from them.
but will be interesting to see how we perform against a team that will get men behind the ball with more bite to their counter.
--------------------
We have no bite to our counter whatsoever.
This game is a write-off as far as I'm concerned.
It depends whether Mourinho sets out to lock down the left side to shackle Hazard (what West Ham did), or attack the left side to get in behind Alonso (what Arsenal did). Take anyone who could play RW for you bar Mata and they'll get behind Alonso, so you'll have fruitful counters in this particular game if Jose thinks aggressively.
It's not a write off. I'd call us to win yeah, but wouldn't be surprised at all if you got a result.
A massive blow as it seems he could miss the chelsea game
...............
Matic has been so poor since November last year, really, that I would prefer Groot playing his role.
Yep, that bad.
I still recall the horror of our fans after we sold him to Utd
I for one was unfazed...still am
Tbh if anything United are getting under rated at the moment, will still be a very tough game regardless of Jose trying to kill them and ruin them, still got pogba, fellaini, martial, mata, rashford, lukaku, sanchez etc and de gea who is always world class vs us

When was DDG last world class all game vs us? He obviously made some class saves vs us but i can't remember ever watching us play United and feeling DDG is the reason we didn't win, were probably the only team that say that though

Most of us on here were meh about it as I remember, more regret that we replaced him with Bakayoko than selling him on merit.
The media were the ones bemused by the sell mainly.

Agree....Jose it at his best when trying to stop passing teams play. I expect a really tough game with United looking to exploit set pieces and our persistent weakness in defending crosses to the far post
