Highly doubt United will just sit back against Leicester even if they beat West Ham by a few goals. Don't forget there will be a 2-goal swing in Leicester v Man United. Say United beat West Ham by 3 goals, their goal difference will be 31 and Leicester at 28. United can still miss out if Leicester beat them 2-0 - United's GD will then be 29 and Leicester 30 - and we win 1 of our 2 games.

To be fair, I wouldn't read too much into the assist numbers because Leverkusen are hardly blessed with clinical finishers. I mean, Havertz was top their scorer in 2019/20 with 12 league goals! If it makes you feel any better, he created 59 chances in the 2019/20 Bundesliga season, which is the 9th highest. To put that into context, Sancho created only 10 more chances (69) and the highest is 84 by Muller and he plays for Bayern.

Didn't he just sign a new five-year deal last year? Doubt anyone can afford him anyway and at worst, we'll loan him out.

What makes you so sure about that? If anything, Barkley is the one that needs to be sold first!

Has he done a Hazard and talked about liking Zidane and/or joining Real Madrid is his dream?

https://theathletic.com/1935897/2020/07/20/ornstein-havertz-chelsea-pochettino-eze-qpr-monaco-warnock-middlesbrough/?source=emp_shared_article @Strike has mentioned some of them but here are more points: We are the only club ready to pay the fee Leverkusen demand. Bayern, Barcelona and Real Madrid don't have the funds. Man United not interested. Man City haven't entered the frame (not interested?). PSG could match the fee but Havertz not interested. Fee reportedly to be about 80 million euros after add-ons. Could be 65 million + 15 million or 70 million + 10 million or similar arrangement around that region. Our board naturally favor a lower initial outlay. Personal terms not a problem, including the salary. Only final details need to be sorted. The project, the vision for his role and Lampard's presence appealed to Havertz, after talks with Lampard. Nothing to suggest that Havertz's desire will be affected by whether we qualify for the Champions League. Club must adhere to FFP and aim to avoid relying on Roman's resources. So, Marina will also have to sell players to balance the books.

The story also mentioned "Havertz previously imagined representing Real Madrid". Prepare for another Hazard saga down the road.

For anyone interested in tunnel cam...

Conte complained about the fixtures.

One positive post and you're bragging like the negative posts from you never happened? And me...stalker? Sure, whatever...

Atalanta v Inter Juventus v Roma Napoli v Lazio All the above final day fixtures looking pointless now. *sigh*

Looking forward to Conte's excuses...

I could care less about who you were with but I do not think it is any secret that you only appear on here when we have bad results and then disappear when we have good results. When we have bad results, you get on here and make it seem like the end of the world but when we have good results, you do not appear here or even if you do, you barely even give praise. Long story short, if you are only gonna appear and give shit when we have bad results or are in a bad moment, then you better be able to take the shit if you get called out. If you cannot take the heat, then do not come on here.

One of the greatest movie characters to ever exist and also it gave us one of the best movie scenes ever! (all hail Andy Serkis!)

Do feel like James benefited from the back 3 system today and having Azpi on his side to cover for him, meaning he didn't have to worry too much defensively, which would not be the case in a back 4. That said, like others have mentioned, it's definitely his best performance since the restart. Gonna need that for the next 3 games.

Having to carry the entire team on his back...poor lad. 😭

Calling Solskjaer 'Gollum' is an insult to Gollum. Leave that precious alone!

This Mount love-in is weird. People are yo-yo-ing between two extremes. One week, he's the best and the next, he's the worst. At this rate, he's gonna replace Willian as the player fans will have a love-hate relationship with.
