CHELSEA vs MAN UNITED LIVE Premier League Watchalong

Mark Goldbridge expects Manchester United to lose before Chelsea have even kicked off. Later, a poll on his watchalong exposes a more uncomfortable distinction: some supporters aren't merely expecting defeat, they want it to accelerate a change of manager.

Just over half of respondents take that position. It is a snapshot of those answering the stream's poll, not a verdict from United supporters everywhere, but it gives this edition of The United Stand's match coverage its sharpest question: what happens when wanting the manager gone conflicts with wanting the team to win?

The full watchalong has drawn about 1.2 million views since yesterday. Unlike the reaction Short's brief celebration and offside check, as we reported here, this stream spends substantial time with Goldbridge's doubts before the football begins.

He questions Diogo Dalot's selection at left-back and Michael Carrick's changing formations. Against a Chelsea side he considers quicker and more energetic than expected, his prescription is physical commitment without needless bookings. The match doesn't kick off until roughly half an hour into the video.

There are chances to disturb his pessimism. Estêvão has a goal ruled out, then Bryan Mbeumo's cross gives Bruno Fernandes an opening that he fails to finish. Goldbridge's disbelief at the miss briefly replaces the broader argument about management. The broadcast also includes a sponsored prize-draw segment.

Chelsea's eventual victory brings a much less conflicted response in Goldbridge's separate post-match upload: "CARRICK Has To GO! Chelsea 2-0 Man United Goldbridge Match Reaction".
