Bring Alvarez not Foden

To me his role now is very different to when he was actually playing as a midfielder with a back 4 behind him. I remember one of the problems was him backing off too much and not knowing when to step up to the player with the ball. Our game is intelligent enough not to give the ball away in bad...

West Ham caught us out with that throw to Bowen at the byline, clever.

Incredible how quickly players recover from writhing on the ground holding their face. Similar to the Europa final, so brave to continue with cracked skulls and broken eye sockets.

Won't happen but I'd start Alvarez over de Bruyne. De Bruyne is one of our problems against a parked bus back 5, the third centre back occupies the space he likes to underlap into, drifting wide and spamming crosses isn't the best idea against 3 centre backs. The middle will be absolutely packed...

Seems like exactly who they'd target under Solskjaer. For me one of the reasons Chelsea have struggled for goals, as an attacking player has no creative brain and doesn't score enough to make up for it. As a centre mid not sure what he offers other than running. Basically an extra DM in the...

The Fred challenge was the same as Partey against Arsenal. De Bruyne got the march on them, the officials will probably hide behind planting their foot or trying to roll KDB but they could only play the man while never having control of the ball. At least Partey was somewhat close to the ball...

How many years since we got a pen against them, 15? They seem to win one every time we play though, very odd

After the blatant handballs they got away with against Forest and West Ham, absolute cheats

To be fair Fred has been effective against us even going back to when we played Shakhtar, kind of a poor man's Kante in covering ground and hassling our attacking mids. His weaknesses in positioning, composure & passing accuracy don't really matter as Utd never attempt to play football against...

This is very similar to Lampard's first game as Chelsea manager in 2019, have most of the play but fluff chances and lose 4-0.

Fernandez never broke out of a jog as his centre backs were getting swarmed there.

Chalobah reminds me of Boyata for us, not premier league quality. Not convinced by Fofana either.

Haarland in too unselfish.

Their turbo midgets couldn't do anything against United, Everton, Newcastle but then we turn up

Leicester were on the end of the Sabitzer knee stomp at old Trafford as well when they were outplaying Utd

They still haven't scored against us since CL final, need the clean sheet.

There was a spell last season where Gundogan wasn't playing much and looked lethargic when he did, thought it might be the beginning of the end. Thankfully not the case but it might be clever from both parties now to let hm leave for Barca. Gundogan extends his longevity in a softer league, we...

Great play for Bayern's goal but brainless throw to the middle of the pitch nicked by Leipzig for the penalty. I haven't missed those even if our other players aren't good on throws either.

That Faes might be the worst footballer in the league other than Malacia, disaster looks likely anytime the ball is near him
