He name-dropped CHO as potential LWB

Popularity contest. Messi did next to nothing for months at PSG

I think there's no scope for risks. Saul has to wait for the League Cup game

Some calmer Monday morning thoughts about the game. Tuchel didn't get a lot wrong except delaying the changes for so long. Since Havertz and Lukaku were not fit, Pulisic maybe should have started instead of Werner. It did not feel like a game for Werner at all and United crowded him out too easily. Jorginho in that position is not someone who would try and get rid of the ball. 10 times out of 10 when that ball was punted up field towards him, he would try and control it - which is not necessarily a bad thing but in this case it was and it is something Tuchel needs to look at. Jorginho is a very slow last man to have.

Seriously. Some people think we are dealing with machines and not humans

Points dropped FFS

Why was Alonso taking corners all game? That Ziyech delivery was bang on

I officially give up on Werner

At least this should shut up the referee conspiracy theorists

I am nervous about Jorgi pens

This is overstating it. We've looked comfortable all game. Similar to Arsenal last season - switched off one moment

Nobody warming up is really strange

Get Alonso off setpiece duty at least

Yes. Because there was zero United attacking threat and we don't concede.

Same thing as Kante vs Arsenal. Too risky trying to control that. Out of fucking Nothing. Piss off

Yep. Even Mason is a good shout for his energy if nothing else

Weirdly static up front. Rudiger or Jorgi in possession deep in their half and there's no movement in attack. United are too organised to roll over today.

To their credit United are making it hard work to move up the pitch

That's a good win from Chalobah. Need to be taking more risks. United have no attacking threat

Not really. No sustained pressure

Teams have worked it out. Pressure on Alonso as soon as he receives the ball

Everytime a United player falls over its a FK

Great chance!

Paul Scholes on pre-match saying Chelsea is the ideal team to play Cristaino against - Thiago Silva would be the ideal opponent for Cristiano 😄

I'm guessing no and it would be a shock for them at what level CHO and RLC are playing
