Not under Conte but there was a completely avoidable 2-2 where Hig scored one not two

Agreed. Its frustrating but I think Lampard playing victim here is not a smart move in managing perceptions. He's gotten away with it a bit because he's a legendary player. In 1 year + only autumn 2019 was a decent run of results!

Hmm there were quite a few draws there. Even in the Conte title run, that Higuain double (2-2) seemed like points spilled. But definitely not a bogey team

We have a good record against Burnley. I don't know where this Burnley is tough cliche comes from.

Mental health professionals could be part of football backroom staff.

Pulisic

Ziyech! Deserves it

Lucky pen. Werner taking

One of those calamity at the back games

Ziyech pressing is so good

Gift of a goal. But I'll take it!

Lampard at the touchline there - "Faster".

He was but until this year, Jorgi had an excellent record

Good buildup before the pen. What a waste

Ah Jorginho. Usually so reliable

Finally. He's no longer fitting Mount into every lineup!

Re: Ziyech. Think cameos don't mean much . Needs to play the Krasnodar game to see him and his passing game

Yes, would love to see Kante used for certain games rather than being a permanent starter

Cech is the backup!

Proper scouting job by Lollichon and looks a smart pick-up in today's GK market. Everyone praising that save at the end but the save from Rashford earlier in the first half was also equally good. He was out of his line and cutting out the angle

The hope is he learns on the job

This season will take a while to settle down. Everton, Villa bubble burst today. I think Leeds can go on a run before fading like Bielsa's teams usually do

Yep, same pragmatism seen vs Liverpool/Sevilla and United now. Many teams go into this Sevilla and United level bracket. Does it mean we are pragmatic in any game against a similar level of opponent? Crazy if this goes on really.

He has passed the eye test. Apart from the mistake vs West Brom, he has been quietly snuffing out danger and makes Christensen/Zouma/Rudi look like a level below. Time for him to play in a less protected defense now

Many who aren't calling for a sack are also questioning what is with the team's performances/approach. This extremely cautious defense-first approach should be left alone for the rest of the season. It cannot go on even if it helps us to a few more results because our star attackers will soon begin to wonder whether they are in the right club for their development
