This is the issue with our fans. I don't mean this specifically at you, @DDA but when Broja was firing, there was such a large majority who were stating this is why we should of given Broja a chance and not wasted money on Lukaku. Others saying he needs to be playing upfront next season with Havertz. Now he has struggled for a few games, he is suddenly not good enough. He is just 20! He needs to be given time and work on few things but this is where likes of Mourinho went wrong and backfired on him.

Towards latter stages of season he has not been the same but first half of season, he looked the real deal. Acceleration, good strength and excellent finishing as well as anticipation. You only have to see the quality of some of his goals to see there is a top striker there eg West Ham in FA Cup, Palace and Brighton goals in the league. His goal against Brighton was pure class. You just can't help but watch it over and over again. He is only 20 too, so he will improve. Although he did not score against United at Old Trafford, he terrorized their defence and he was magnificent. He was given MOTM award that game too. Same against Spurs, he had another brilliant game at the Lane. I have seen enough of him to think there is a potential top striker.

His goals dried up and his goal record in the league was underwhelming but you can see he has the tools to a top striker. I defo think he would suit us as impact player next season with his acceleration. Cannot sell under any cost.

His wages are ridiculous and when they gave him the contract, they knew they already had a no.1 keeper. It is good having competition but to give the reported wages to a disputed no.1 is ridiculous. But it is United...

Ironically, I am sure he is talking about you, even though I know you wasn't making a joke about it. Could be wrong, LOL.

Yes, correct. And he still is not appreciated as much as he should be. Really bewildering.

Win ideal but for me Spurs win is better than Arsenal win. The commentator also said that bad news for Chelsea because of Spurs winning. Well I disagree. It would be more worse for us if Arsenal won imo as with Spurs winning we basically have 3rd guaranteed. Even a Spurs win means we only need a draw to get top 4 unless Spurs have some massive goal swing in their last couple game and tonight.

Just another goal and assist in the same game. Common feat. 13 goals and 16 assists in all competitions this season. Amazing.

Draw is perfect result for us, but if I had to choose a winner I would rather Spurs win. Because even if Spurs win, it would mean we only need a point realistically to ensure a finish above them. Arsenal win and they still could finish above us which I don't want.

Azpi needs to come out the team. Play Chalobah. His minutes have been so limited, that he played for the development team tonight. This is a must win game for Leeds and they will raise their A game. They were unlucky not to get something at the end today, especially with 10. I reckon we will get top 4, but I really do know want to finish below Arsenal. I will hate to drop points this game and be in predicament of needing Arsenal to win so that top 4 is more secure and not worry about Spurs catching us, however at same time losing 3rd spot to Arsenal.

Especially to Arsenal (with their fanbase) and Spurs. Just no.

Poor, poor performance. Tuchel, messed up too. You have 2 subs left and you bring on Ziyech and Pulisic, not Lukaku. Look, I get you are planning for like without Lukaku but he had to come on. Ridiculous not too. Werner and Havertz were poor all game and your CF who changed the game last week is left on the bench. Bemusing. RLC was the only one who comes out with credit today.

How United got a point out of that is a joke. We dominated them and should of been 3 easy points. Even United at it's worst, manage to still nick something against us. Bloody annoying and allowing them to concede within minutes of us scoring is poor. James MOTM by far. His crossing was brilliant tonight.

I like Lamptey a lot but I still think he has more to work on. Especially his end product. Good at beating a man etc but needs to be more consistent. Has very good balance so doesnt get bullied of the ball but his height can be a issue which other teams will target. Misses way too many games as well. Think someone mentioned him earlier, but I really like Djed Spence. Looks a brilliant prospect. But I think he will be looking to go to a PL team to start which he can easily do. At us would not be guaranteed starter.

They have also looked quite decent on the counter. Defo not a ultra-defensive game they are playing.

Yeah, Chalobah missing out again I am bemused by. Tuchel also indicated before the presser last game that he is due an imminent start.

We have a few out, but West Ham have actually rested more key players than I expected. Rice, Antonio and Bowen all on bench. Only one recognised CB for them too. Let's get back on track.

They will play their best team against us then in their games against Arsenal the following week, they will rest players as it is only 3 days after they play Frankfurt. Arsenal, I still don't think will catch us but cannot rule it out. I expect them to beat United and they play West Ham at a good time as West Ham will rest some players and generally will not be as fresh. For me Sunday is a must win game just to ensure we don't get in a panicky top 4 race. I just dreaded this kind of result tbh. Arsenal have this knack for beating us every season now, it is really starting to do my head in.

Disagree. He is our player and they fully understood the rules of that when we sent him on loan. He has been their best player this season and while it is an occasion he would want to be part of, he is contracted to us. Why would we jeopardise our chances by allowing him to play? I would not be happy if we did let him play.

Whoscored predicted Liverpool to beat United 5-0 on Tuesday 😂

They outplayed us for both games too. Especially the one at their ground. We got lucky to come away with a draw.

That is what makes it feel better, that they are left with egg on their face. As @Superblue_1986 said Grealish is fancied more because he is more flashy and more exciting to watch etc and it is annoying that all the English fans who begged for Grealish to start would take it out on Mount. People would say Grealish isnt starting because he is not at a 'big team'. Grealish is now at a 'big team' and while I don't always want to flash the stats card, if Grealish had Mount stats this season, the Grealish fanboys would be jumping on their high horse. Grealish has only 4 goals this season. 2 in the league and only 2 assists. Grealish has escaped a lot of criticism from the media for obvious reasons but using other supporter's fans views of Mount is a strawman's response.

Proud of the team. What a performance. Just a few lapse in concentrations proved costly. Either way, after that first leg, did not see us beating them 3-1 but we were brilliant. James was brilliant, especially considering he had that yellow from the opening few mins. Kovacic was world class again and because he isn't KDB, his performance will not be spoke about, however he was brilliant. His usual running past players like they aren't there and his general play was top class. Just love watching him. Brilliant player. Rudiger top class. Werner too. Basically whole team put in a good performance. Even was surprised about Alonso and more notably RLC performance. Thought he was solid. The subs were the only ones who failed to impact the game. Still a lot to play for this season. We have been fighting far on all competitions this season. Literally been having a game week in, week out. Finish solidly in the league and hopefully seal FA Cup glory.

Just another goal and assist albeit in a non PL game this time. P.S he has his goal against a 'big team' this season. Relief 😊

Defo an old contract. When he signed his new deal, he signed on around £150k p/w. He was a key part of the team when he signed the contract and we gave him a deal to reflect that plus his growing potential. Maybe 55-60k is after tax, however before tax he defo is earning around £150k p/w. He was our most in form player after Hazard before he got that nasty injury.
