I'm saying he looks average. Everyone is clamouring for him to be incredible.
Fair enough, you're of course free to believe that.

Just think it's kind of harsh to make that judgement based on the first 45 minutes into his first start at the club but to each their own.

Conte getting out-thought by Tuchel so far. He's overloaded the midfield against us, as he did at times last season too and so far, Conte has had no response.

Whole team has been poor. Sess in his shell, Royal very average. PEH pointless. Son has messed up a few counters and Kane essentially anonymous.

As usual, we just don't turn up against Chelsea.

Hoping Conte changes system round at HT and at least we have a few options off the bench this time.

We'll see but as always at SB, not optimistic.

It'll be interesting to see if Chelsea can maintain this tempo in the second half. I have my doubts.

Chelsea don't know what to do in final third. They cannot scrape wins for so long.

First time I’ve seen that Kuluseski (however you spell it) live and he looks bang average. Not sure what the hype is about.

Two examples of why England won’t win anything right there.

Chelsea are such a pain in the arse for big clubs. Entire team is made up of guys who are fast and either strong or huge, or the energizer bunny. On top of that they are all really good and comfortable on the ball. And on top of that they are exceptionally well drilled. They just don't let you do what you want to do. They're made for matching up against great sides

Agreed they are incredibly tough to play against when on song. Their runs in the CL recently are no fluke

Jesus Sterling would walk into our starting eleven though....all attackers in this game would actually.

Sterling would be shite in this Utd side. Not sure he’d have an impact at all. Not even convinced he will do that well for Chelsea either.

They still have a massive problem upfront which has been their weak spot for quite a while. But agree, they're a nightmare to play against.
