  1. Harry Maguire | 2021/22 Performances

    I would almost certainly agree with that. Luiz's biggest holes in his game were his lapse of judgment and his lack of positional sense. We never looked super solid with him in a two-man CB partnership under Benitez and Mourinho, with the latter often using him at DM instead. Luiz in a 3...
  2. Harry Maguire | 2021/22 Performances

    That's where I find myself tbh. Luiz had many notable clown moments, and when he had a bad game it was usually a disasterclass type of performance. Alternatively, it was his sound technical footballing ability coupled with his exuberance and reckless abandon that made his excellent games just as...
  3. Harry Maguire | 2021/22 Performances

    Someone compared him to David Luiz and I find that interesting. Are there any United fans that would rather have a peak David Luiz over a Peak Maguire?
  4. Pogba

    No doubt all this coming to fruition is under the assumption that the club has found new owners by May.
  5. Pogba

    Free transfer to Chelsea?? Say what you want but Kante and Pogba is a world cup winning midfield combo. I don't think he stays in the EPL but I have a sneaky feeling Chelsea is one of the two Premier League teams interested.
  6. Chelsea 2021/22 - World and European Champions

    Yah fr he is. Just pray our board acts smart for once. This is the first time I've seen where almost every Chelsea fan I know would rather keep Tuchel than any one single other Chelsea player.
  7. Chelsea 2021/22 - World and European Champions

    You guys already tried an Ex-Chelsea manager.
  8. 'Pep' Guardiola sack watch

    Are you calling the EPL second-rate or farmers league then? Thinking that Klopp is better than Pep isn't absurd. However, the notion that Klopp is somehow miles ahead is absolute nonsense. I personally would pick Klopp as well, but it is a matter of preference. A lot of teams have had enormous...
  9. Manchester City reports revenue of £570M for 20/21. A season without fans.

    Arsenal were always "allowed" to remain a top team. They simply stopped being ambitious. Now for the longest time, I thought it was because Wenger had lost it. However, in hindsight, it seems like after Wenger left, up until the past summer, Wenger was the one keeping things together as...
  10. Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

    Bitterness? He was asked questions about the appointment. Fairly apropos considering the history the two men share. Even then, he was rather complimentary in a roundabout way.
  11. The main criterion: Coaching a team to the level of Klopp and Pep

    The OP referenced Pool and City specifically so I kept it amongst them. Naturally, I believe so long as Tuchel is at the helm we will be challenging for all honours right alongside them. To think this time a year ago Chelsea was languishing in a position not too dissimilar to United right now...
  12. The main criterion: Coaching a team to the level of Klopp and Pep

    The people snubbing their nose at Poch are absolutely ridiculous tbh, almost spoiled like. It’s the same narrative people tried to paint about Tuchel saying he was a failure at PSG etc. For a decent portion of the last decade Poch had a team that had the 6th highest wage bill routinely...
  13. Chelsea appoint Thomas Tuchel

    I’m sorry but this is nonsense. I rate Havertz and really hope he improves his consistency to become a great player for us but the notion that he’s way ahead of Rashford is nonsense. Rashford has scored 20+ goals on more than two occasions and I’m pretty sure he would start for Chelsea more...
