Don't agree. The main reason he has been better is because he is a much better stylistic fit for the role, which allows the team to function better. Despite instructions, Garnacho basically played the exact same role last season as he did under ten hag. Cunha plays the role correctly. He drops deep to support the midfield and gets on the ball. We are far more compact as a team this season and that's because the centre backs have been more brave and aggressive in their positioning, whilst the 10's are dropping deeper.
Garnacho | Officially Chelsea's problem
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
I mean, even rival fans have been praising his impact at United, which is a rarity. It’s hard to understand how someone can have watched United this season and not noticed how much better Cunha has looked compared to Garnacho.
For what it's worth, we're conceding more goals per game this season than last.
Of course that's very simplistic and there are lots of reasons for that, but thought it's interesting in the context of being more compact
Cunha is the new one with hair, not the bearded beautiful bald guy
I’ve heard journalists on podcasts who usually love to shit on United speaking glowingly about his performances at United. It seems like you’re watching the football through some kind of negative prism?
Pretty indisputable that we're a lot more compact than last season. Plenty of room for improvement of course, though that is more of a personnel issue.

Yeah I'm not sure I understand the criticism of Cunha. He had one genuinely bad game (the most recent one, so maybe there's a level of recency bias), some very good ones, and some middling ones. He's not been as big of a hit as Mbeumo, but not everything has to be so absolute - there's more to come from him, but he's been ok so far on the whole and he's definitely a massive net positive to the collective considering how well he gets the role.
And this is coming from someone who wasn't quite convinced by the signing this summer!
No game time for Garnacho today
He will start against barca.
Subbed on 58
Successful hate watch today
Get inHe was the weakest link against Barca. He must know that and we'll see if he can raise his game. His ego needs to take a back seat and he needs to roll his sleeves up.
I think there is a player in there somewhere but he needs to keep his head down, work hard and take long hard look at what's happening around him and apply himself.

Played his role well enough in 60 mins
Pinned Kounde back and did not allow him to join the attack with Yamal.
Had an offside assist.
Chelsea just attacked more on the right today since Gusto had the license to go double up with Estevao (while Cucurela had to stay back to watch Yamal)

Thought he looked decent
good to be aligned on these kinds of things.
Not sure why the journalist felt United were a relevant talking point ahead of a Champions League tie in Italy, other than fishing for a clickbait quote.
Little rat
I kind of respect him not coming up with some bla bla to be honest. Fair and square. Hope he does well whereever he goes.
I am a simple man, I carry no grudge. I am glad he is gone, I'd prefer him to play in a different country but so be it. Probably won't take too long.What
Feck him.
Fair enough
Maybe because this headline will garner more traffic than anything else regarding that Chelsea CL match.
Journalist is being weird to him.
We don't regret it either Alejandro lad.
The end was pretty bitter in fairness, he should have started the Europa final. Every man and his dog could see we lacked an attacking threat to keep Spurs on the back foot.
It never recovered from there and his behaviour on the post season tour was nothing short of disgraceful.
I'm glad he's gone now, he won't make it at Chelsea because he has too much competition and he can't handle the fight to get in a team with his piss poor attitude.

Mount is a better attacking player than him and he started in his place.
Heading into the Europa League final, Mount had 30 good minutes in a United shirt in his 2 years at the club.
Amorim also waited far too long to make the Garnacho sub. He should've come on at half time.
Maybe he should have been less of a complete cnut then.
We lacked pace in behind. Garnacho should have started that final.
"And what about the shaved eyebrows?"
The last time Garnacho started against Spurs a couple months before that final he did feck all and we lost 1-0. It’s not like Amorim was blessed with great options.
Feck him. He should have sorted his attitude out then.
I can't recall any cnut-ish behaviour prior to the final. It was only after that match when he started pissing me off, but maybe I'm forgetting something.
You've got a short memory then.
That's not true, he was good pretty much from the start under Amorim. Had a really good run up until his injury against City. He had been really good against Brentford and Bilbao in the lead up to the final.
They sat in a low block the entire match.
I hope people weren’t expecting him to say “yes, I have regrets”. Super weird of the journalist to ask that, mind
I’m also yet to see that Cunha is an upgrade on Garnacho. Hasn’t played out like that yet here - but hopefully Cunha kicks on for us soon

I Dunno about that Mount was muck. Regardless cowardly Anorim played 5 defenders for 70 mins when we were losing. He should of found a way to get him on. Im fine with him leaving but the EL final was a shambles we never even tried to win it
