And, we're off.....2016/17

[fundy]

1 Pogba or 2 1/2 Granit Xhakas, yep ill have Pogba please

 

[Fish]

You would,the lads 24 years old,came with a big price tag, not his fault,
Chelski cannot afford him,and Man Utd can....

No, I said I wouldn't.

I Don't care how old he is, I'd rather have a more accomplished 30 year old than the current Pogba we're watching as he wouldn't go straight into any of the current top sides imo.

Oh, and we can afford anyone if we wanted them, especially with what we're going to get for Costa and possibly a couple more leavers, were very good at selling players for profit.

Yeah but I said top sides wouldn't have him 😂😂😂

 

[sawtooth]

So, looking at the remaining fixtures I can only see Chelsea losing one game,
Are you hoping Spurs beat you's? They'll need to, to stand a chance.

Spurs are a better team at the moment and Chelsea not kept a clean sheet in last 10 games or so. Plenty still to play for.

I don't want Spurs to beat Arsenal but if they do and go on to win the title then fair play to them. They've lost less games than Chelsea and scored more goals, you wouldn't say that it wasn't deserved.

I have a funny feeling that they might nick it on goal difference.

I would like to see what xhaka is like under a decent manager. I cant believe that he is that bad.

 

[Rlburnside]

Eh? utd not looking good? They scored after 7 mins!! Tough school at the lane

Lpool good win, shudda been more but again we could of threw it away.

Mignolet again the savior. Here's hoping he gets some credit from the match goers 

Let me expand a bit, the way United started looked just like they have performed this season, a bit wary slow and to many square passes, not something you could say of Uniteds play especially at home in recent years,

The goal gave them confidence and from then on they totally dominated the game, they surprised me how well they played, Chelsea were unlucky not to have that handball given, we will never know how the game would have panned out but let's say they would have gone in at half time 0-0 would United have gone on to play so well?

You would,
Pog will get better & better,Utd made a huge mistake not employing Jose once Sir Alex announced his retirement, Whether Chelsea can afford anyone is a different conversation , IMO I personally don`t think they can, they are a team bankrolled by an individual and recent signings don`t suggest otherwise...

genuinely seen so little ability from him its scary, 24 games 1 goal, 2 assists. struggles to pass it 15 yards to a team mate, cant tackle for toffee and worth nothing at the top end of the park

surely the manager doesnt make that much difference to a player

I would take the Pogba that played at Juve , the one that controlled the game , was physical and creative on the ball , he was superb for them and i expected him to do a lot better in the Prem but right now even at £10 mil he has been poor

I think if Zlatan leaves it could be a blessing. He's obviously done great re goals, but it makes Utd very one dimensional and team that played today would thrive with POV in it imo.

I think Pobga has probabaly hit the woodwork more times than any other player has in their career, let alone one season also. If a few more had done in it would gloss over it a little.

Re the price tag and comparing him to Ronaldo etc. He isn't going to score the goals that they do so he will also have a different influence.

Personally i I still think the money on him looks better than that paid for Stones....

The table doesn't lie, Chelsea are currently the best team this season, who's to say Spurs won't hit a bad patch and drop points.

Fair play to any team that wins the title, they have to earn it, it's ok to use stats to prove your point, but the main stats Games won and most points, both belong to Chelsea so if they win it, you wouldn't say that it wasn't deserved ( you might, you might say they've bought it )

April 30th might have a big bearing on wins the title with Spurs at home to Arsenal and Chelsea away to you, you're one track bully might do us a favour.:thup:

 

[HomerJSimpson]

United were not looking to good up to they scored to many square passes, Chelsea were unlucky ref didn't give that handball, gave United confidence after the goal and they dominated the first half.

Hope United get the win.

Coys

Definitely a hand ball and not sure how the ref can miss it from so close. Great finish by Rashford though. He needs to keep getting game time as he's a natural scorer. It certainly makes the final few games a lot more interesting. Not sure at this stage of the season you can say any result is guaranteed.

Totally agree,
Different players, play in different positions,

Think the only game Chelsea might lose is Everton away, Spurs have got some hard games Arsenal, Man Unt, Leicester,Palace.

Twice in a fortnight I'm praising Mignolet, I can't believe it :rofl: Again, credit where it's due he made a couple of excellent saves and his punching was up there.

I thought our performance proved we can dog it against the sides you need to dig deep and dog a win, it wasn't pretty and certainly not one for the scrap book but 3pts in the bag.

 

[Deleted member 1740]

Like him or loathe him Mourinho once again shows his quality and sets his team up to go out and get a job done.

Chelsea's worst performance by far (from the little I've seen) this season, Hazard kept quiet by the horrible dirty cheating Herrera and Chelsea struggle.

Are they a one man team?

 

[Pin-seeker]

I never actually said that Pogba should be scoring goals like Ronaldo.
I just can't see that he brings anything special to the team.

You're clutching at straws here, he only turns up against the little teams
