Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

**** me alan Smith is a cockwomble of the highest order
Ref let that go apparently
Player did nothing wrong
WTf was he letting go !

 

Agree on that, Spurs' best player imo. Would be a good option to have

 

I can only speak for myself but I understand what you mean. They move the ball quicker without Hazard, undoubtedly, they'll move defences around a lot more with their attacking players preferring to take less touches. I don't think anyone disagrees with that its just that I don't think moving the ball quicker automatically makes you a better team.

 

But surely if they start popping goals in from everywhere it has to be healthier than reliance on a singular individual. Bit like us with Suarez (ish)

 

Oh yeah, definitely, but they don't have the quality of player to start popping goals in from everywhere. It's not Lampard's fault with the transfer ban and the poor squad built over the years at Chelsea but there simply aren't enough good players in the team to start doing that.

We went to complete **** without Suarez, though. We went from 2nd to 8th.

 

Entertaining game and fair result...........cracking Neves strike

 

Gonna see how it goes

Looking forward to the post match analysis of the game
Neville looks ready to explode
Could be funny
Good game to be fair
It’s defo dangerous this year as are wolves Tbf
Not claiming either going to win the league (stranger things have happened) but but have looked good in preseason and early stages of league

 

Huh? I think that us not signing players is a mistake. Personally, I think that Chelsea’s inability to sign players as well as losing their best player will cost them a CL place. Am not sure what your point is?

18/19 arrivals includes a world record transfer for a keeper, Jorginho, Pulisic (although just arrived) and a £9m Loan for higuain.....that’s not a small investment that lot. The season before saw more players brought in at a high cost - although no mega signing. So I totally disagree that they haven’t invested.

As for Lampard. You can not compare him with anyone as he doesn’t have one of the world’s best players at his disposal. If we took Salah or Mane out and didn’t replace then there’s no doubt we’d suffer.

 

@Daveunited we are still top.

 

Neville seems absolutely crest fallen

 

It’s hilarious!

 

Didn’t want to say cause we have Arsenal next
Dreading that (I know - leave me be lmao)

 

Ffs just realised we are playing Utd again after int break hmofc!!! Pisses me off that

 

Totally agree on that analysis of VAR btw

 

#bbcsalford are worse than ever

They couldn't stop talking about how amazing Maguire is. Surprise surprise Man Ud drop points.

Meanwhile our games are a constant discussion of our defensive frailty. Then we win.

It's like McCunty has told everyone their number one priority is to make Maguire's world record fee seem justifiable.

"I think Harry Maguire is an outstanding buy for United... What United need is stability at the back and they have that in Maguire, who is England's best centre-half... The free-kick, 35 yards out, is floated into the box and finds the head of Harry Maguire, who is well positioned to clear the danger... England manager Gareth Southgate is among the crowd at Molineux to check up on Harry Maguire... So comfortable at the back Maguire and Wan-Bissaka have settled in brilliantly... Maguire has that calmness and presence - he looks like a leader... United absolutely the dominant team. They have been water-tight at the back and thoroighly deserve their 1-0 lead..."

Then Maguire gives away a free kick. The free kick leads to a corner. They score from the corner. And he tried to give them the winner with a crap backpass to De Gea. Well done.

 

0 dribbles past Van Dijk for a season

Maguire...

 

It does if it means you have all eleven players working for each other without carrying a passenger defensively.

Obviously, end results are what matter. I don't think Chelsea will better last season, I'll think they'll regress. But I think they would have regressed had Hazard started too.

 

When you say regressed, are you talking about his weight?
