Agree on Mhiki. He was poor after first joining then really started to grow into the role. He’s really regressed again now. Utd really lack that game changer that league winning sides need. Hazard, Aguero, Kane, De Bruyne etc. You don’t win leagues without a standout game changer and I’m looking around that Utd side trying to find one and struggling.
The better side won today and our disastrous record against Chelsea continues. It was a massive over reaction 9 to recent results at Chelsea and I didn’t for a minute expect anything more than a point for Utd. It’ll be Utd’s turn now to face an over reaction similar to the one Chelsea faced.
Congrats to Chelsea!

Yeah deserved that. Great header from Morata

Should be 1-1 already. Rashford should be scoring that and Morata unlucky there to have his disallowed

My bad explanation Sean. I know we didn’t go at Chelsea last season, as such. I just meant they picked us off last season in a game where the share of the ball and the share of the chances was pretty even.

I think pretty much everyone would be happy with a draw 9, including the other sides in and around the top of the table. I’d love us to go there and really have a go at Chelsea but I just can’t see it and I think we’d be picked off like we were last season. May the best team win anyway!

Well Kante starts for Chelsea and Pogba not even on the bench. Big boost for Chelsea on both counts. I appreciate Pogba was poor there last season but there’s no doubt Utd have been far stronger this season with Pogba on the pitch. City Arsenal game going entirely as expected. Arsenal just don’t win these kind of games

I can’t see it Sean. Utd have a dreadful record against Chelsea. Liverpool’s defence was there to be got at and Utd offered very little going forward so I can’t see Mourinho springing a surprise today. He’ll be happy with a point at Stamford Bridge. I’d be pretty happy with a point there too. Very few teams will go there and get a win.
Seeing Pogba getting on the pitch could give Utd the boost they need though to get something. It wasn’t until he got injured that we started playing worse.

Try again NB. Should be fine now. The time was set wrong

Yeah Bonucci is a funny one. Always looked a world beater at Juve but has really not maintained that at Milan.
Pogba has looked great in flashes but needs to find his feet to reach the level he set at Juve. When England played France, he made the England players look like schoolboys so there’s no question around his talent. He needs to start having more influence on the big games for Utd though.

Liverpool silenced a lot of doubters yesterday and probably ended any hopes Bilic had of keeping his job. I really thought they’d drop points yesterday against West Ham but they looked quite convincing in the end.
Two big games today. Arsenal just don’t win games like this one and Mourinho will probably go into this one hoping for a draw. I think we’ll see Chelsea find some form again today as this is a game they’re always up for.

I quite like Southgate’s choices. It makes a refreshing change. It’ll be interesting to see how these players get on anyway. Abraham is an interesting prospect and it will be good to see him get a game.
Like you 9,I’d be taking Sturridge next year. There’s no denying he’s not the player he was 2/3 years ago but he still shows flashes of brilliance. For me, I’d put him on a par with Kane as a goal threat when he’s on form.

English sides all killing it tonight. Zidane will do well to still have a job in the morning

Far from vintage Utd tonight and haven’t really been all that impressive since the Liverpool game so it’s promising to see them still picking up the points despite not being on top form. Will need to be much better than this though to come away with anything from Stamford Bridge

Definitely worth a couple of quid. I think Sheffield Wednesday may be the tricky one though

I think he still asks himself the same question every day! I was probably about 10 when I first went to Old Trafford.
I’ve lived abroad in various places and in different parts of the UK growing up so I’ve never had the chance to go regularly to OT.
I’m back home this week in the UK actually. Tried to get a ticket for the Benfica game but left it too late. Will be watching with my dad on the box tonight!

@blaze just keep an eye out for the threads titled “Week x footy (including predictions)”. The first post will include a prediction sheet where you just enter all your predicted scores and press save! I usually get those out on a Wednesday ahead of a PL match weekend

Always enjoy reading these type of posts. We can all relate to that feeling of the first game, or at least be able to relate to the moment the obsession began.
Mine was in 1994, a while after yours HH! I was only 8 and wasn’t particularly into football at the time. My dad is a big Leeds fan and took me to Elland Road to see Leeds vs Arsenal. Noel Whelan got the only goal. I enjoyed it and remember it vividly but my obsession with the game was more of a gradual thing.
I didn’t get hooked straight away. My love for the game grew through a combination of playing football at school, playing football games (mainly early football manager games and Fifa International Soccer!) and then I was reintroduced to going to live games, at which point I appreciated it a lot more.
Football dominates my life still,. If I’m not reading about football, I’m watching, listening to, playing, writing or talking about it.

I can sort of get it if you go to a big game between, say, a couple of European giants. For example, you get tickets to a CL final and you don’t support either of the teams. But, you just don’t buy a Liverpool Utd half half scarf under any circumstances. I’d never buy one myself either way!

Anyone seen anything of Sancho playing for Dortmund? He’s probably the star of this batch of young players so it’s a shame he’s left the country but it might well do him a lot of good if he ends up getting games at the highest level
