And imagine if Ole changed his usual system and played a midget at 9... and was 1-0 down at HT? There'd be MASSES of threads.Our CBs would have been slaughtered

Pretender of a footballer. Would be a good sprinter.Werner is a pretender of a striker
Is it only a red if they deny a goalscoring opp? The simple act of handling outside the box on its own isnt actually a red, maybe just a yellow and a fk, say an errand back pass, but no striker in sight?He didn't deny a goal scoring opportunity if they go on and actual score... a goal. I think
Nice timing
That's sarcasm, right?Why does Pep play into his opponents hands so much?
He seems clueless against teams like us, Chelsea or Liverpool. Teams that like to counter.
Then he goes and plays with less defensive protection.
I'm sure Pep won't be criticised for it though.
He's playing a very defensive line up and formation and looks to counter with quick forwards. Our fans hated us being a counter attacking team, it was a sign of us being poor.Tuchel has them well drilled Im not surprised.
I am with you. If you compare the Chelsea movement and passing to what we had the other night, it's like chalk and cheese.Depressingly good game, Chelsea should be ahead by more.

Nah Pep always overthinks it. Chelsea beat them in the FA Cup semi final recently so Pep probably wanted to spring a surprise and it completely backfired.Makes me ponder outright disrespect by Pep towards Chelsea or are the other options not fully fit and thus save for emergency/limited minutes?
Don't remind me of United. I have just managed to turn my brain off about us and actually enjoying this game a lot.Completely dominant. Pep left the holding midfielders out and it's suicide so far. All over the place and Chelsea just walking through at will. Just imagine what a proper defensive mid would do for United.. the unglamorous position which is arguably the most important on the pitch these days.
I think a goalie handling outside the area is always interpreted as denying a goal scoring opportunity. Not if you go on to score anyway, though.Is it only a red if they deny a goalscoring opp?

Guardiola has the bad habit of overthinking big games.Makes me ponder outright disrespect by Pep towards Chelsea or are the other options not fully fit and thus save for emergency/limited minutes?
His movement is class. Far better than anyone on out team not named cavani.That dummy run by Werner opened up the space for Havertz.
Mount on the left wing? Why play him out of position?Mount and Chilwell have to start on that side for England
Will his arrogance for tinkering stop him from making the change? I think he needs to make it 2nd half asap. Bring on Rodri.Pep has pepped himself today. Terrible decision to leave Fernandinho and Rodri on the bench. You need one of them in. So strange to leave the holding midfielder out. Suicide.
You think? I don't see it hi, he seems very slow. That counter he had, he had to turn and go back.Reese James been very good too!
True, having an actual coach working with you would help you step up alright.Lampard never managed to get as much from him as Tuchel did though.
No. Outside of here I don't expect him to be scrutinized or blamed, he's done it time after time and it's rarely mentioned.That's sarcasm, right?
I’m a neutral, you’ve been by FAR the better team.Christ I feel so ill watching this. I think we've both got into an equal amount of dangerous positions but the difference is that we are defending better so we are getting opportunities and they aren't...yet.
I take a different view. He's a vain man who likes to throw curve balls in order to add to his reputation as a tactical genius.Nah Pep always overthinks it. Chelsea beat them in the FA Cup semi final recently so Pep probably wanted to spring a surprise and it completely backfired.
My friend wants City to win. Truly bizarre. His reason is that his Dad’s a city fan and thinks he deserves to see his team win the CL, and that they deserve to win it more than Chelsea.There’s no one in here (who is a United fan) who actually wants City to win is there?
