Strike

against a team that is tougher to score against

I get all of them want to control the ball and dribble etc. But Jorgi vs United and Mendy today - should just be booting it Zouma style No cleansheet for 3 games now.

Has all this talk of Ballon D'Or gotten in Jorgi's head? 2 mistakes in a week

Just clear it for a corner. FFS. Gift

Even after Jorginho's mistake, Mendy should be getting rid of that

Convinced that even at 40, Thiago will be a serviceable Premier League level defender for his positioning, instincts alone

Thiago again

What an unnecessary yellow

Should be 3rd choice for LWB after Alonso, Callum

No, they knew he is slow. And he didnt deal with the threat at all. We conceded a lot of chances from the left flank. Watford's wastefulness in attack makes no difference to Alonso's performance at the back. Solution to Chilwell injury is to rotate Alonso with CHO. Play CHO in the important games.

Harsh. At 21, he is starting on merit over Pulisic Werner and Ziyech. He is going to be the one from the attacking crop that becomes a world beater.

Not really. Did well for the goals but Watford targeted him for a reason. WB is a tiring position - Alonso should be rotated + kept away from big games.

Teams are targeting him regularly now.

I hope there is no more Saul in midfield in PL/CL games. That was an unwatchable performance. I think he is now beyond Bakayoko territory. This is closer to Steve Sidwell, Danny Drinkwater, Khalid Boulahrouz stuff

I still cannot believe that line up. The wingbacks and Saul in midfield. I'll take these 3 points and run.

Both handballs had very little reaction time. There's not much you can do since you do need to keep your hands up to jump

A forward who can shoot well too. Apart from Reece, this team genuinely lacks the kind of player who would take a shooting opportunity in and around the box and have enough power to test the keeper. Some of Werner's shooting is embarrassing, Havertz is also generally weak.

Lead down to 1 pt even before December begins 🙃

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
