Chelsea kept clean sheets against Barnsley and Sheff U, and are Porto much stronger than AC Milan?
I really find it frustrating how Ole and United’s improvements are summarily shut down on this website.
I’m seeing people say Chelsea are a shoo in to be City’s nearest challengers next season, as though we are only second by default.
I find it funny that we’ve finished above Chelsea in the past two campaigns and they always have excuses made for them – transfer ban, Lampard being shit, etc.
I'm not shutting him down, I'm just saying Chelsea have nullified better teams.
Atletico x 2, Everton, Liverpool, City, United, Spurs and Porto (who are comfortably better than Milan in my humble opinion).
When I look through Uniteds I see
City, West Ham, Chelsea and Milan.
There is also the manner in which they did, for comparison
City had 23 shots and 6 on target vs United, City had 11 shots today and 3 on target.
Chelsea had 18 shots and 6 on target vs United, United had 11 and 4 or target vs Chelsea.
United have vastly improved and that is a credit to Ole but Chelsea defensively have been more impressive as most games look like that. United are offensively more impressive. For what its worth I think United will be closest to us next season, Chelsea look a world class goal scorer away from a real title charge (unless they sign Haaland, Mbappe or if they do take Aguero he gets some miracle muscle cure).
