7 points behind Liverpool, who have hardly looked like world beaters. We really should be at least fighting for the title but alas, the manager...

United now only 3 points behind Liverpool, with a game in hand...

That's whats scary. There was talk of them winning the title. Everyone laughed but look where they are now. Still don't think they'll win it but to be right up there after a poor start and this whole Ole getting sacked yap...

I wish Mount had the vision of Thiago

Thiago did nothing special at all the whole time he was on

you are just taking a cheap shot at Mount, which is really getting tiresome

you and a couple other are obsessive in your Mount bashing when the lad is absolutely NOT deserving of that level of hateration

Kepa? yes

Alonso and Emerson? yes

AC? yes

Mount is streets ahead of them yet a few haters on here non stop bash

and this Thiago comment, whilst maybe true overall, certainly was not warranted in the slightest by his spell in this game

Home form is out the window, and we're missing our fantastic away support.

Thiago is a cunt because he plays for the red shite. Simples

I thought he controlled the game in the few minutes I have seen him on. He also played 6 long balls in 17 minutes and had 91% passing accuracy.

I am just not a fan of Mount's playing style. Reminds me of Oscar and I was also not a fan of his playing style either. I prefer in the role Mount currently is playing a Modric, Cesc, Xavi, Thiago type of player. Similar young english player would be Foden.

I actually like Mount, just not his football^^.

Maybe I should reduce my criticism on Mount for a while, just like I did with Werner.

He is not a bad player and I see good attributes. Just the key attributes are missing that would make him WC and long term Chelsea starting material.

Oscar couldn't shine Mounts boots in terms of pressing

Oscar was, back then, a better scorer than Mount is now

[Fulham Broadway 17,335]

Good thing about Mount is his attitude, he'd give 100% regardless of the manager, unlike Hazard and others who downed tools in a hissy fit

Do you think so? I remember Oscar as a guy that ran a lot and had insane pressing, just like Mount. Maybe I don't remember correctly.

I remember also in the WC one game with Oscar, in which he probably had the best game of his life in every part of the game. Might have been the first starting WC game for brazil. I think Neymar got Motm, but I thought Oscar should have won it instead.

I remeber him slacking off far too often, he WAS capable of pressing well, but he never really had the fire in the belly

wow, Real and Barca are utter shit this season

Atletico has two games in hand (versus meh teams) on RM and can be 8 points up on Real, and 13 or 16 points up on Barca (1 game in hand for AM v Barca)

New era is coming. It always amazes me everytime how bad certain big teams mess up their golden era by making horrible coach or transfer choices. Players get older and the board needs to act and get some new young quality players in or promote youth. They mess up every time

We used to be WC, but when our squad got older, our time was over and our transfers mostly were horrible. Happened to Man United too. They used to be a force. Now, Maguire is their captain lol.
AC Milan and Inter used to be insane.

People underestimate the importance of stadia full of fans. We're going to get some well weird results the longer this goes on

I wish we could assess the manager's job at the end of a normal season. (Which is why I suspect most clubs will be a bit more lenient this season, unless their teams are nailed on heading towards disaster) .

Chelsea is NOT the same without its support, and the club has some of the best away supporters in the league. And of course, a full Stamford Bridge is a big difference.

Now someone can easily say that having crowds back could have worked against us (just like it did at Everton), but you have to remember some of our best away form happened under Lampard when we were still playing in full stadiums.

Sorry @Jason , but that's why I think doing that points per game comparison with other managers right now., is a bit....pointless

Wait what, now we are using the lack of fans as an excuse? 

And facts are facts!

No. Look at results all over Europe, (I havent looked at South America) results are fucking apeshit, form is upside down because of the virus and fan ban 

The history and growth of the game has been dependant on fans. If they think they can get the same game just by watching on TV theyre fucking stupid

Sure, having fans can give teams a boost but the lack of pre-season, the congested schedule, injuries, fatigue are far more appropriate reasons as to why results have been stupid. If a team is solely relying on fans to do well, then that team is shit.
