Swinging for the fences

 

I think I put my head in my hands

 

Could really do with a third. They've had multiple opportunities to run through the centre of us. Jimenez just wasted a 5v3.

 

Yeah that was coming. We are rancid defensively.

 

Go take a seat, Allison. Oh wait, you just did

 

would’ve been wild for him to end up with us, but interesting that he turned down Brazil.

 

Just me or is that never offside? Unless there's an angle they've not shown?

 

lolwut?

 

I think it's when the ball came back to the corner kick taker. He wasn't in the shot they showed but that's what I presume.

 

That would make sense. ITV showed every pass in the build up but thinking about it, yeah the corner taker wasn't in frame I don't think. Bit annoying that the TV feeds don't show the angle that the VAR is working from.

Edit - they've just said on commentary that no camera angle of the corner taker was available, so the VAR had to stay with the on field decision.

 

Gosh I hate replays. Ugh.

 

Got away with that. Amazing how easy it is to play through our midfield on transition. Absolutely no control in there.

 

He literally waves and says goodbye. Imagine if the deal doesn’t happen lol

 

Funny seeing United fans on Twitter complain that they don’t have much money this window, as if they didn’t just spend £230m last window and aren’t up for sale (something they unanimously wanted). Fans have absolutely no idea do they?

 

A lot of those fans just want to be sold so we can be an oil money team and spend 500m every window.

 

We’re going to need to bring in a first team ST and CM as well this summer, not to mention potential back up CB and RB if Maguire and Wan Bissaka leave. The only way 250M(+) isn’t being spent this summer is if the Glazers are somehow still here.

 

Milan Skriniar’s contract is up in 6 months and he still hasn’t reached an agreement with Inter. Seems like it’d be smart for a team like Spurs to swoop in right now. Can’t imagine he’d cost anywhere close to his true value.

 

Will be tuning in for this one

 

Not an ideal draw for us lol.

 

So when does Boehly start questioning Potter?

 

Graham potter is a disaster

 

Firing tuchel was a mistake then and it’s an even bigger one now, this team stinks out loud

 

Hard to judge Potter too much when he's essentially coaching a hospital team right now. Hard to take over midseason when you don't have time to implement your system too. Plus the owner is all over the place recruitment wise.

At the same time, yeah firing Tuchel is an all time blunder, even if their form was a bit questionable before that.

 

I feel like being three nil down and not having at least one of your players getting a booking is strange. Not advocating for bad fouls, but Chelsea just aren’t getting stuck in, it looks like their aren’t even trying.
