Poor marking was the reason for that

So, Man United are still Man United then..

Got battered by Wolves in the second half but somehow got all 3 points.

So we will be out of the Top 4 if we lose to Spurs...excellent!

FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!

Stats don't tell the whole story, do they?

I don't know about Liverpool but Kepa was doing better under Sarri's GK coach last season. Remember Lampard wanted to bring in Shay Given as the GK coach? Kepa looks a mess this season.

I see we're at the point where marginalized players are suddenly being made better than they are...

Think they rested a lot of their first team players on Thursday..?

Maybe we'll do better when hunting down others rather than being hunted down by others...

Just don't let her touch the money side of things.

Limp home loss to Bournemouth finally forces Lampard to utter ‘the F word’ https://theathletic.com/1460778/2019/12/15/limp-home-loss-to-bournemouth-finally-forces-lampard-to-utter-the-f-word/?source=shared-article

Two possible solutions - (1) get a better goalkeeper coach and (2) get a no.2 keeper that can challenge him for the main spot.

We have won games without him before and while Kovacic has been good, he is no Messi/Ronaldo-esque player. If we can't find a way to make things work when somebody like him doesn't play, then like I said, we're more fucked than we thought.

If we need Kovacic to beat an out of form, injury hit team and at home, then we're more fucked than we thought.

With 4 games in like 10 days coming up, CHO will get his opportunities but he definitely needs to up his game.

5 years after Mourinho said a similar thing following the 1-0 loss at Palace...

Our record AWAY at Mourinho's teams: Inter 2-1 Chelsea Man United 2-0 Chelsea Man United 2-1 Chelsea Not even a draw...

True but on the other hand, Pulisic forced his way into the XI by making an impact as a sub. CHO hasn't done that. How can he give confidence to the manager, fans etc and say 'I deserve to start' if he doesn't put in the performances even as a sub? Moreover, we're in a bad run at the moment and we have not much room, if at all, to be giving the likes of CHO to find form (although there are quite a few out of form right now).

We were fine against Villa, Palace and Newcastle. We totally bossed the latter two teams, created chances and it was more of a case of being patient. Similar to Villa, it was a 2-1 thrashing especially in the second half. Just didn't convert enough chances. Yesterday's performance was more in line with West Ham and Everton games. Barely created enough opportunities, never mind not playing well.

Think you both @Vesper and @1905didierblue just need to agree to disagree and move on.
