They’re really not very good though. Just stay in the game and don’t give anything else away - it will come.

That’s what you’re supposed to do

The press is incredibly intense up front but if Chelsea get through it leaves you really exposed. Biggest issue is that you haven’t been able to retain possession for long enough.

Made the change.

Palmer almost seems too good for this Chelsea team.

Chelsea look ropey as fuck.

It will never not be annoying to me that Chelsea managed to grab the Liquidator as their pre-match song.

How long do you guys think you can keep a “You Don’t Know What You’re Doing” chant going ?

Oh yeah, forgot Hall was on loan.

Who’s missing for you guys tonight?

Just rewatching the highlights and it gets better with repeated viewing. Unbelievable cross.

He was reckless. We were mainly angry because it fucked a guy who’d just come back from a long injury.

We have too. It’s still all up for grabs. I like where we are in terms of squad fitness and depth although if VDV is out for a while and the fullbacks get injured again we’re a bit exposed. Villa have players to come back too, although if Watkins gets injured it feels like they’re in trouble. I just don’t think Man U are good enough against the top teams and it feels like the top five now will stay that way. Long way to go though.

We thought we should get a free swipe at Cash after the last one . I do think it’s not a coincidence that that’s two games in a row v them that we’ve started to get on top and one of theirs tried to break someone’s leg. Two very different results. God’s honest truth - had a weird feeling about 4-0 beforehand. Thought it might pan out like our game there a couple of years back - Villa on top then we get a couple on the break and they have to go for it. Think the Ajax game and the injuries took their toll on Villa - we’ve got most of our players back now and are very dangerous towards the end of games. Unfortunate Mother’s Day for my wife. Had to remind my sister not to mention the game.

Wat.

The best way to play against us is obviously the low block and hit on the break. Trouble is, it’s the best way to play against Villa too, as you guys showed. Today’s game is a bit of a coin toss.

I’ve always been grateful to my first proper coach “Tom” who only cared about playing the game the right way. We would typically finish bottom despite winning most of our matches because he just wanted to give as many kids a chance to play as possible so we’d forfeit nearly every game because of unregistered players. Wanted the game played the right way in every respect - good football, pass and move on the ground, no diving, no lip.

It’s illuminating that Ange got so much gushing praise when he came in. It was more refreshing than it should have been just having a normal guy saying normal things because of weird cunts like Klopp and Arteta. The prime frustration is that we have the tools to deal with a lot of the nonsense in the refs and the laws, but when it comes to the crunch they bottle it. Leaving Havertz aside, Arteta is still pulling his bullshit outside the technical box to interfere with the oppo and…nothing. It’s mental.

Won’t lie lads, reading the last page or so has cheered me up a bit. Much appreciated.

Man U far more comfortable now.

nearly three penalties.

Nah, the first one was soft - definite foul but Garnacho had to dive to win it. The second was hilariously clear.

Come on Everton, make this interesting. Man U have been given more penalties in the last 20 minutes than we’ve been given all season.

Might be the most clear-cut penalty I’ve seen for a while.

They’re not really. They’re big strong and physical but lack cutting edge and can be exposed by pace. Been the better side so far.
