Excuse me for butting in on a rival fans forum. But, I'd just like to give an alternative view to some of the grievances I've read on here. I keep reading that how dirty Chelsea were and how Dean should have at least booked a couple of Chelsea players. From my POV Uniteds players seems to have...

And can I just point out, the person I was originally quoting suggested that United were missing 5 key players players who would be starting if not for injury. Chelsea have also had 5 key players missing for a large chunk of this season. Also having James out left us without a backup RB. We...

The only two that wouldn't be starters are Christensen and James. Kante, Rudiger and Hudson-Odoi go without saying. Emerson was our number 1 LB until his injury. And as good as Mount is, he hasn't hit the heights of RLC who would undoubtedly be starting in Mounts place had he not been injured.

Kante, Rudiger, Hudson-Odoi, Loftus-Cheek, James, Christensen and Emerson. I think that's a pretty big chunk of our squad, most of which would be starters if not for their injuries. The fact that the rest of our squad has been able to cover those losses as well as they have, does not detract...

On the contrary, Lampard's in game management has been excellent. Switching systems when necessary and his subs mostly seem to be spot on.

As a Chelsea fan, and I'm sure a few more will echo my thoughts, Hazard was too inconsistent for us. He disappeared for us in too many games, mostly only stepping it up in the big games. Only scored more than 20 goals in a season once and slowed the game down far too much. Given the option I...

There seems to be a couple of people trying to degrade Van Dijk in here. Let's be honest, you'd all have him in your team!

CHO and Reece James playing today against Southampton for the U23s. Will be ready for Grimsby in the League Cup. Lampard on Hudson-Odoi and Reece James: "We have got them playing in the U23s tomorrow. We have a game in the week that they can certainly play a part in for the Carabao Cup. So they...

I'm not judging based on our current form, I'm judging it on last seasons form. Our attack was slow and ponderous and our defence was leaking goals for fun. Tbf I didn't hold out much hope for this season, even with the youth getting games. But I'm loving it now, even if we don't make the top 6...

I disagree with that tbh. Hazard was our main source of goals last season. Without our trio of youth this season who was going to score for us? Willian? Pedro? Giroud? Barkley? With our defensive woes so far this season I'd see us struggling a lot more with the senior players only
