Pizy

You just know the English commentators and pundits are going to absolutely butcher this one like they do all non-English names. 😂😂😂

How is his name properly pronounced, btw? Is is Zac-arya or Zac-a-rye-uh?

Got Real Madrid for £100m+ written all over him. He’ll be their consolation for failing to get Mbappe.

Yeah, I don’t see any easy games in this group. Especially while we’re still figuring ourselves out. If we aren’t on it we could humbled by both Zagreb and Salzburg, never mind Milan.

I mean, as Chelsea fans it sounds a bit rich calling anyone else boring but at least we’re boring in the “dominate the ball but struggle to put chances away” kind of way. We at least try to play football. United just sit deep, have like 30% possession, and smack the ball long to wide areas or try catch teams on the counter. That’s way more boring to me. It’s effective and getting results but for the most expensively assembled team in history I’d expect more.

I just don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion at all that City get him. They don’t really pay mega money for any one player these days and especially not in an area where they’ve already got 5 CB’s. None of which are old and need replacing. I think if we’re dead set on getting him no matter what we’ll get him still.

What should he have done then? There was clearly no chance they were selling him this summer as has been reported by every reliable journalist. The fact that they turned down an insane €90m and within hours he signs a new contract tells you that that was always their plan.

Wonder how sustainable United’s “play shit and still win” football is. They’ve been pretty subpar in every one of these 4 straight wins and were comfortably outplayed today yet still won 3-1. I think once the season goes on they’ll struggle against teams that can smother any of their trademark counters since that appears to be their only real source of goal threat still. Still, United are done being the utter embarrassment that they have been in recent years. They’re a competent team now. Just incredibly boring at the moment.

Arse lose this in typical Arse fashion.

Arse still have that soft underbelly I see.

They’re playing like the Solskjaer United today. Can’t get a sniff of the ball.

It’s straight up depressing how much more confidently and competently Arse pop the ball around compared to us. You can tell that exactly like Pep, Arteta has them maniacally training crisp, quick passing week in and week out. Compare that to us where so many of our players need an age on the ball to make decisions. Only in the Spuds game so far have we looked genuinely good in the ball.

Of course, but he’s still signed up for the whole season. So why would we then sign a second DM midway through the season? We spend £50m on Alvarez then we probably take ourselves out of the Declan Rice sweepstakes which would be a huge mistake.

How does this make any sense if we’ve brought in Zakaria for the season? It doesn’t, clearly.

Yeah, I was thinking Jesus in particular. They lose him for an extended spell and nobody really fears their attack anymore.

Piss easy fixture list until tomorrow. Still holding out hope that once the fixture congestion starts piling up they’ll fall of in a huge way. And let’s see what happens if they get a key injury or two.

If City with Haaland don’t win the CL over the next few years it’ll be an astonishing failure.

So after playing the match of their lives against us, Leeds have lost all 3 of their games since? Fucking typical.

Didn’t Lavia just sign with them THIS summer? And we tried to sign him? 🤣

We have 3 aerially dominant CB’s, tall players like RLC, and one of the biggest, tallest keepers in the game and we still look like schoolboys defending any cross into the box. Just utter panic and I don’t understand it. Mendy is an accident waiting to happen when he’s under any kind of pressure. No way on Earth should we be handing him a new contract after what he’s shown almost every game so far this season.

Mendy……… A-fucking-gain.

We may be the worst side in all of Europe on corners. This is a disgrace. A team not even trying to play football beating us now.

Sit deep and we can’t do ANYTHING.

Think both Gallagher and RLC are both just so desperate to get into and stay in the team that they play it extremely cautiously and safe. Afraid to make a shocker of a mistake and not see the pitch again for months. And then Kova doesn’t look his usual self. He looks slow and way off the pace. Due to all of that there is no link between those 3 and Sterling or Pulisic at all. This has all the hallmarks of a 0-1 sucker punch from a corner or Antonio jammy counter attack.

The only way it looks like we can score is if we get a lucky counter attack.
