Maguire should be back no?I think the rest fecks us up badly. Thnik we will lose this as it is Chelsea despite their poor form, they can still beat us as our play are not consistent either. We probably need 2/3 matches to get the rythem back and these are tricky matches and we can lose against anyone. Just hope we can wrap up the CL spot but we just have to make it hard for ourselves.We've won here what, twice in 25 yrs? Despite the quality of players and teans over tge yrs if thats our record, what hope do we have of this team on last night's showing is goibg to muster a win? I put our chances of win at 3%!We’ve turned into Chelsea lately with the back to back red cards, must put an end to that. Can’t let them close the gap, have to walk with at least a point. I would expect Carrie to go back to Mbeumo up front if he’s fit enough.We have Sesko and Mbuemo on 9 and Bruno and Casemiro on 8. Would be nice if someone could hit the ten mark. Nobody has hit 11 since the Rashford freak season where he scored loadsPL results here:

Yeah, fear the worst as he will be loving it and wanting to be the ABU heroMichael Oliver the referee for this one
Carrick v Rosenior = his first real test
Who can age men the best?
Who can respect the ball the mostest.Lammens
Dalot - Maguire - Heaven - Shaw
Casemiro - Mainoo
Mbeumo - Bruno - Cunha
SeskoDo we know if Maguire will be back for this or is PGMOL just going to toss a coin on the pitch before the game to decide?
We were supposed to find out today and.....didn't
I say start him and then make up a BS citation. Failure to operate in a timely manner and interference of footballing operations.
This but I’d rather stick with Yoro. He’s not been great but Heaven is not there at all yet, and it’s such a big game
Of fecking course. Chelsea guaranteed to get a bad decision in their favour, like always in this fixture.Michael Oliver the referee for this one
What has Carrick got against Heaven exactly?
Oh this is deliberate at this stage. Another red for us and penalty to ChelseaMichael Oliver the referee for this one
It has to be.
I doubt De Ligt plays for us again, confident Dorgu will be back by maybe Brentford or at worst scousers (thinking similar timeline to when Licha returned to training)
Narrator: "Manchester United sat in third"It is absurd that we don't know yet if Maguire is available. It is the week of the match. Specific preparation for this game is now underway, how can we not know?
Anyway, a win basically secures Champions League football next season. I would fecking love for us to just get a win so we can all drop our shoulders.For me, a straight red is 3 games ban, so I suppose that Harry will be back against Pool in two weeks, and will still miss this one.
Don't know if Mbeumo was injured, I suppose so, but he needs to play to overload their midfield.
Also right now, Sesko is better off the bench.
For the CL race, we are still missing roughly 9 points to be sure to get ahead of them.
We have Brendford, Pool and Forest at home, with Chelsea, Sunderland and Brighton away.
If we can have a draw here, and a victory against Brendford, then the Pool game will be like a final for CL (knowing that Chelsea will also play Sunderland away, Pool and Brighton away so not sure they will get 15 of 18).
Important to seal at least a point and winning next week.

Let's be vigilant on their set pieces, try to counter them. It will be tough for us to keep Joao Pedro quiet, but hope for a point.We really should be giving Heaven games instead of constantly going with Yoro. I genuinely think Ayden is the better player
I’m more confident we’ll pick up 3 points against Chelsea and Liverpool than any of the other teams. That’s just how we are at the moment.
We’ve got some tricky fixtures coming up with suspensions, but we’re also having some key players return from injury. I’ve no idea why Carrick is refusing to make changes though - Mount would’ve been a great player to bring on yesterday for Ugarte now he’s back from injury.
Dorgu should be back for Chelsea, yea?
1 game ban for a professional foul, 3 game ban is for violent conduct or serious foul play. They’re dragging it out as he allegedly said something to the fourth official as he was leaving the pitch, so they’re looking at adding an extra game on.
A straight red is only 3 matches if it was a dangerous tackle. What Maguire did would usually be a 1 match ban but he has this weird ban that we still don't know how long it is, for abusing an official.
Interesting sequence of results before and after the Russian rescued them from obscurity.
Great to see we’ve got the schoolboy reffing. Just when you think it can’t get worse.
He's an atheist.
Maguire outRefs conspiring to feck us nowYoro and Heaven then
Weasels the lot of them.It's absolutely incredible that the two offences committed by Maguire and Martinez results in a combined 5 match bans. How we've been shafted these last two games.
Outside chance of Shaw at CB
Absoulte snakes but yeah the refs favour United or something. That cnut Oliver will be itching to give a red card on Saturday
Took the FA a whole three weeks to decide Maguire's fate.Is this an additional ban after Maguire was sent off against Bournemouth? Or have they expanded it for some reason?- Status
