United’s midfield. :’(

It scared me all through the transfer window ................................... and nothing was done!
I'm sure McTominay and Pereira will prove to be excellent midfielders, over time, I just think that now is maybe too soon!
It's going to be a long season for United unless they spend well in January.

Had that been on yesterday it might have beaten Palace v Everton to be last on motd 🤣.

Newcastle lost all shape following the substitutions. They may have needed some spark but taking those two players off distorted the team. A very flat first home performance of the season.

Curious that Mount starts ahead of Pulisic for Chelsea. Looking forward to seeing how Barkley goes today, picked him in my FPL team and backing him to have a top season for Chelsea, it's about time he starts to fulfil his massive potential.

Two mistakes early from Zouma. 1 gifted Martial a shot at goal and then the penalty. Not a great start for him back in a Chelsea shirt.
He is still traumatised at not being in an Everton shirt, he never made mistakes like that last year. It's a blue shirt, but not the right blue 😁.

It’s self sabotage. Driving his own price down to secure a move to Everton ;)

Chelsea really unlucky to still be behind. Hit the woodwork twice + a good save from DDG off Barkley. Good game this!

For all The talk about the talent of Rashford and Martial which I agree with, the difference between them and the forwards of city and Liverpool is so clear to see. So many times they got in the box and then just had no clue. No little passes. Just stopping in the ball and turning away from goal.

United maybe a bit fortunate to go in one up.
Wan-Bissaka looking like a great piece of business.
Nothing for City, Spurs or L'pool to worry about ....................................... and that's a worry!

Loving this new look Chelsea side.😆

And me 👍

I’m very happy with this performance so far, the only difference is a silly error by Zouma.

Only pressure from United has come from us giving the ball away cheaply, whereas we have created and built good chances and hit the woodwork twice and Barkley was unlucky.

We can build on this and only get better, especially with key players to still come back from injury.

Be interesting to see what changes happen and when.

We’d be 4-up if this was against that rubbish who played against the toon today, you might have got 3 points, but I’d be very concerned with that performance, but we’re the better team currently imo and only 1-nil down.

Well going by the Arsenal game and this one so far - these three teams are battling for that last top 4 spot. Chelsea should be ahead and look the brighter team out of the three so far , Arsenal I suspect will look better with a good number of their players to come in but UTD ? That’s their main team - Look disjointed all over the pitch , no leader , Pogba in someone’s pocket , Rashford and Martial headless chickens , Chelsea have carved them open as few times and De Gea and the woodwork have saved them so far.

Been impressed with Tammy Abraham leading the line for Chelsea. Good movement, strong hold up play and was so close to bagging a goal. Think he’s going to be handy for them this season.

Thought MOTD analysis by Shearer was very good re the Spurs front three. First half to narrow and to close. Second half they were as good as City and Liverpools front three.

What game are you watching?
If it's the same one as me, you'd get a better picture if you took your Liverpool goggles off. (y)

I’m not sure they were that good. But they certainly had more urgency after Eriksen came on.

Re today’s game. Both Chelsea and UTD are facing the hardest opposition that any of the top 6 have faced. Only really West Ham of the opposition that you’d say may well finish above top half and end of the year.

I think If De Gea performs like his usual self then UtD have more than enough for top 4.
