So, Boehly vs Ratcliffe it is. If the UK government is involved at all they’ll probably favor the British-led bid I assume. Either way, this is awesome for us. The two best prospective owners battling it out. Neither would run the club like Arse or Spuds. We would see proper ambition.

Well, he’s certainly saying the things we want to hear there, huh? Wants to turn us into a proper super club, invest in the squad without caring about profiting, etc. God knows he has insane wealth. He probably vaults himself to the top of the pile in the eyes of those choosing.

Not worried about Reece leaving at all. Like Mase, he will play his entire career here.

Our players have convinced themselves that it’s done. They’re already dreaming of Dubai, Miami, and LA in the summer. It’s clear as day that they’ve dropped their intensity knowing that they have just enough to draw the rest of these games or nick a win here and there. Must be as frustrating to Tuchel as it is to us fans that no matter how much he talks about still wanting to win, the players are just going through the motions.

I like Timo and I like Pulisic. But if we don’t upgrade at least one of them this summer we will continue to experience these sorts of results over and over. We simply cannot put vastly inferior opponents to the sword on a reliable basis because we have ZERO killer instinct in the final third. We need someone who is desperate to score or at least test keepers. Someone super aggressive. Sick to death of seeing us get the ball into box repeatedly and things die.

That’s Alonso’s signature spot and his signature finish into the bottom far corner.

Must also be said that Kai has a real weakness with his shooting. Just like Jorginho. And it makes no sense in either case. Both such technically gifted players but neither can generate ANY power with their shooting from range. He’d be even more dangerous if he had that skill. Feels like the only shots he has in his locker are ones that travel on the ground or headers. Never letting one rip in the air.

This is the exact sort of match we lose typically. Dominate, dominate, dominate, don’t score, then concede a silly goal.

Reece is just effortlessly dominating this game.

My goodness. We should be 2-3 up now. Whereas all it’ll take is 1 sight of goal and CR7 or Bruno can score and we’ll have blown it.

Feels like if we go ahead they’ll be totally demoralized. But of course we’re missing chance after chance to capitalize.

Mount finishes that Kante chance with ease. Damnit.

That United team is shocking. Their bench even more so. But I said the exact same thing when we played Arse. We can absolutely lose again if we play as mindblowingly dumb as we did then. I’m actually surprised Tuchel didn’t go with Lukaku. If ever there was an opponent for him to show a pulse against it’s these.

True. And I be hated watching him since the moment he arrived in Manchester. Was massively overrated during his outlier purple patch. He seemingly scored a penalty every other match and stat padded against shite sides. I remember there were pundits and shows actually trying to discuss who was better between he and De Bruyne last season. They aren’t even remotely close. Bruno is a good player, KdB is an all time great.

As was mentioned in this very thread earlier this morning, Fofana literally just signed a long term contract a few weeks ago. He’s going nowhere and even if he hadn’t just signed we should avoid him after that injury. And if we line up next season with Pulisic as a first choice starter we’re in trouble.

Said the other day in one of the match threads that it looks like they play a different sport than our team does. Every single player 1-11 in their team is exceptional on the ball. Even Ederson is a better footballer than most of our outfield players. It’s embarrassing just how far ahead of us in every facet as a club City are.

Bruno looking like a shell of the player he was last season and fans are calling for him to be dropped. Maguire and Wan-Bissaka so shite that they were dropped. Pogba and Fred out injured. Rashford has been so woeful all season that the United fans want him sold this summer. Matic looks dead on his feet after about 30 minutes. Whole team looks like they’ve been checked out for months and don’t fancy Rangnick at all. But Charity FC is rolling into town now. Maguire will come back in and look like prime John Terry, Bruno will have 3 assists to CR7, and Rashford will start and torch whoever we have playing on the right since Reece is probably still out. This is the lowest point United have been since Ferguson retired. So it would be so typical of us to show up and put in a shocker of a performance.

Between Koundé and Gvardiol we’re really targeting a very particular sort of CB for that Rüdiger spot. Only around 6 feet tall, very quick, very good on the ball. Makes sense. But if we buy more than one CB this summer I hope we also get a beast of a player who is commanding, intimidating, and a big threat at corners and set pieces. It’s something we’ve always had at Chelsea. Having all 3 of our CB’s being tiny isn’t a good idea.

CB is probably the one position on the pitch where you don’t need to spend a bomb to get someone you can quickly mould into a top player. Especially someone like Tuchel and especially in a 3 CB system. He has made Rüdiger look incredible, 37 year old Silva look like he’s 27 etc. You don’t need to spend VVD/Maguire/Dias sort of money to get a CB. If the club is smart we could buy 1 decently priced CB and then pick up a free agent like Ginter. Maybe someone with 1 year left on a cut priced deal. I’ve really cooled on the idea of Koundé. Really wanted him and still would as an AC replacement if Rüdiger was staying. But I don’t think he’s worth the gamble now.

Be delighted if Everton go down. Hate playing against them even though we’ve owned them over the years.

Perhaps the most undeserved 3 points of the season. Jorginho has been at rock bottom confidence wise since Italy crashed and burned mainly due to him missing pens. Also why on God’s green Earth would you let him take a 85th minute pen when there’s a £100m striker, Mount, and Ziyech all on the pitch? Shocking stuff.

For fucks sake. Just Ziyech on and hope he can score from distance. That’s literally the ONLY way I can see us scoring. This is totally unwatchable in attack.

This is just fucking pathetic. We barely look like a premier league side. We get into the final third and smack it blindly out of play.

All Moyes needs to do is send Rice on who will up the tempo and thrust in midfield and we’d probably lose since we can’t break through their parked bus.

That result in Madrid has killed the team. The fighting spirit and mentality has been shattered. It’s as though our players have decided the season is over and we are safe in the top 4. BUT WE FUCKING AREN’T!!! Kante being our most dangerous attacking player says it all.
