I think you are on your own,or very close to it,with that thinking.

I wouldn't swap the vast majority of our players for theirs.

So if we have better players in every position how did Tuchel beat us 3 times last season? knocking us out of 2 comps in the process?

Mendy will never return to the club, enough said

Isnt that what you said?

Just watch the Liverpool game they played. They are extremely disciplined compared to what they were last season. Kai will be like a new player for them this season. Their defense have been transformed imo with tuchel. Idk maybe I am wrong but they are a completely diff team then under lampard. And they know how to grind out results we saw that in two times they beat us 1-0

Indeed. That does not happen if Chelsea squad is so inferior as he suggests.

Tuchel is great manager but no magician. Chelsea squad is just as good as ours if not slightly better.

I would regard not losing Laporte or Bernardo in the next few hrs as a definite successful window given their reported unrest. They’re v important players.

Not having to suffer watching Mendy in our shirt for the foreseeable future definitely makes us stronger.

I think we know the answer to two of those defeats, one a legendary player trying to be smart the other a legendary manager trying to be smart.

Let’s hope their head is in the right mind tho. We saw what happened with silva after that whole tweet crap and if he is unhappy being here let’s hope he still performs.

He is a good manager imo. It’s a completely diff team to what they played under with lampard. And they are European champions which gives them even more confidence.

 

[kanovic]

And just read Saul going to Chelsea.. so again everyone improving around us.

We knew how to beat ourselves with the line up's.

Chelsea are very good,probably our closet rival,but a fully fit and firing City(and Pep not having a brainfart) need not be worried.

You are definitely not giving us enough credit.

 

[Gumzy97]

I said 'significantly worried' and the word 'dramatically' is very much open to debate.

Ronaldo gives them 20 plus goals a season
Varane is a quality CB comes with champions league winning experience
Sancho to be seen but has quality

Lukaku scores the goals chelsea missed last season which they should’ve scored
if they get Saul that adds more depth to their squad



So improvement. In the case of united dramatic improvement to what they had last year

Couldn’t have said it any better.

Yeah,youre right,we played our strongest 11 and our tactics were spot on in each......its one big mystery.

 

[Blootoof]

Just a reminder. We've just knocked 10 in, and if going by last season, we haven't even warmed up yet.

I am. There is a reason we won 3 in the last 4 years. However we shouldn’t stop even the chairman said it’s not time to stop but to strengthen. And we haven’t. Simply put imo teams around us are catching up and we stayed about the same. Which to me makes us weaker.

 

[stan bowles]

We bought Walker for 50m and we bought two right backs since

Danilo and Cancelo ? The former was swapped for latter.

 

[citizen_maine]

Not true. We don’t need some crazy big name to buy. There are strikers out there that are not some crazy big name that would improve is. Same as no one knew who Jesus was until we signed him. Why didn’t we sign a big name then?

"I'll have one Kane, one Mbappe, and a couple of satsumas please. I've brought my own bag"

 

[Sir peace frog]

How many crosses?
How is he defensively?

woooooooow, he has 2 assists in 2 years don't ever doubt the quality of the new shiny toy

He didn’t exactly do badly on Saturday did he.
He’s a pro and not the type to sulk

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Did you find it painful

No. Not at all. Uncomfortable, but not painful.

Urge any person not to be worried by the actual procedure.
