helping out his ex clubs

If united beats west ham by 3+ goals they will end up taking top 4 even with a 1 goal loss in the final game against Leicester. Very exciting last round. :D

Is it just me or have half the English teams suddenly switched to three at the back plus 2 wing backs?

Also Chelsea started Caballero over Kepa

Well over half the English teams also dont have good centre backs and 3 at the back is the system you want to play if you dont have a van dijk

We played 3 at the back under Conte when Conte couldn't get us to play properly, before that in England it was used very rarely with Steve Bruce and Roberto Martinez the only ones to use it in the premier league. Then after Conte did it and we won the league with it a lot more people started to use it in England.

Still good half from Chelsea, nullified Yanited and now Yanited looking very shocked from Baily injury and a bit lost offensively. Hoping we can see out this win without having to use Pulisic as well.

Chelsea definitely the better team today. United definitely paying for lack of depth right now, everyone looks so tired.

agreed. he's been given way too many chances. i'd be shocked if henderson goes out on loan again next season because he definitely needs to stay to challenge him for the #1 spot.

de gea needs to be dropped, not sold.
hes so badly out of form but most of his mistakes are just poor concentration.
if he finds his form again henderson couldnt clean his boots.
besides if were not having de gea as our first keeper id rather give romero the spot for his loyalty at number 2 this whole time

I think most other teams are reclutant making transfers because there could be 2nd wave of covid and there are fears of another broken season played in empty stadiums. Chelsea had the warchest due to the transfer ban, but it feels like they're pushing past it now. Is it just Abramovich providing financial security that makes them so comfortable with spending?

Not that bad actually.


£65 million in sales 18/19 - £187 million in buys
£141 million in sales 19/20 - £40 million in buys
£66million in sales 20/21 - £83 million in buys so far

Then we have extra £20 million from Real Madrid coming in for Eden winning champs league plus whoever we sell on top. Which at the moments the last 3 years nets us;

£272 million sales
£310 million buys
Net £38 million spent (this doesn't count the £20 million from Eden again either)

Yeah such is modern football, gotta sell them underperforming players! Apart from anything else is there much of a market for him right now anyway?

It wasn’t that long ago, although a long time in football terms that De Gea was putting in crazy numbers and was a big part in United even qualifying for European competition. Iirc United has the biggest gap between expected goals against and actual goals against for at least some periods in recent years and he was obviously the prime factor there.

Goalkeepers are a strange bunch, especially those who play for the bigger clubs. You might not have much to do in a game, but you better not mess it up. Once the mentality goes they can end up a busted flush never to truly recover way more than players in other positions. At least down the table you can make tons of saves a game and maybe the odd error becomes less impactful.

Could be he needs more pressure, a time away from the limelight or even a move to get back to his best, but it’s difficult to manage goalkeepers.

Havertz would be great for Chelsea and all, but shouldn't Frank be worried about his defense?

Don't you wish that was the way haha. We are sorting the defense out which Frank sees Declan Rice as CB would help alongside a new left back which is rumoured to be either Chilwell or Goosens at the moment.

We also are in for a keeper, whether or not its gonna be someone like Oblak or more a number 2 with potential like Rajkovic
