He and Gallagher were brilliant in there, Poch is the right man to bring out the best in them. Sadly they'll do well this season.Chelsea players were so good under pressure. We really struggled to win the ball back today.
Enzo was sublime at skipping out of a tackle.
You said Var? As if to highlight they were shit and favourable to Chelsea. If it was a clear penalty as you believe they would have given it.Did I criticize either goal being ruled out, Pat? Or did I just talk about the one decision that I feel they got wrong..? But carry on, mate. As you were...
Not disagreeing with that but thought Macca had a good game there, while Gakpo and Szobo weren't good enough overallA good DM would have been enough for a win

Gallagher annoyingly put in 3/4 brilliant tackles at crucial moments when we looked set to pounce.He and Gallagher were brilliant in there, Poch is the right man to bring out the best in them. Sadly they'll do well this season.
That handball was the only thing that really bothered meA proper ref would have been enough to win as well though.
No they weren't and got tired towards the end. Had to do a lot of running.Not disagreeing with that but thought Macca had a good game there, while Gakpo and Szobo weren't good enough overall

He was decent, but probably not getting the best out of him on that position. And that probably effects Szaobo's game as well. As a result Gakpo is playing out of position.Not disagreeing with that but thought Macca had a good game there, while Gakpo and Szobo weren't good enough overall
Of course it can but considering the ref, var, commentators and some posters on here after seeing replays can see why it wasn’t given its a bit one eyed to scream it was an obvious pen.I'm sorry. You're right, of course. Because VAR NEVER gets it outrageously wrong. Ever. Every flippin' week, clean as a whistle...
I’m sure Chelsea fans agree.Several things bothered me. He was awful.
I’m sure Chelsea fans agree.
Yawn.And you Utd fans think he was excellent?

Watch it again, he played it early without taking a touch.That he should have played earlier.
Go back and watch him on the ball compared to the two new signings and he was so far off it.
Sob reminds me of a leaner more mobile Emre Can.
Close to his body but up by his face?It's wasn't a penalty. His arm never moved and was close to his body.
Close.. but I'd have been annoyed if it was against us.
Unless the ref gives you permission to leave the pitch, ie sub, red card or medical treatment you are considered on the pitch. Leaving the pitch by walking into touch to construct an offside/onside situation is not allowedAlso am alone in thinking you can’t be offside if you are off the pitch?
Thought the commentary missed that and should have been a pen for us?
He let it run across him, thought he could have hit it before then. He did absolutely nothing else of note going forward.Watch it again, he played it early without taking a touch.

I think it should have been referred to the ref.
I don’t, I think they’ve have continued to dominate the ball and got at least one back and we’d have hung on.If Salah’s disallowed goal had stood I think we’d have won comfortably. Once Chelsea got back into it and Sterling/James were running us ragged it was difficult to see us hanging on. James going off and the kids coming on made a positive difference.
No problem with VAR decisions and quite like the yellow card for waving an imaginary card thing
