United look vulnerable every time Porto have the ball in our half.

Ultimately this is a game where the team with the least poor defence will come out on top. Because they’ve both been really bad so far.

Good game for the neutral,can see a few more goals.

Chelsea going to have to be careful here, only 1-0 at half time and they’ve let Gent back in it a bit, game should be over!

At the end of that last run Rashford HAS to lay the ball off to one of the two players outside him. He has to.

It's now just getting funny.

At least Southgate is solid defensively

What exactly has Eth improved about man united?

Opponents' goal difference?

Chelsea are not making it easy for themselves! I thought 11 changes was a good sign, but he’ll need to bring some experience on to stop them throwing it away!

 

[Billysboots]

When is it going to dawn on ten Hag that defending with our full backs on the edge of the opposition penalty area is leaving United exposed time and time again?

It’s a ridiculous tactic.

Opponents' goal difference?

Spot on!!!

 

[PaulMdj]

Let’s see if they can keep this 2 goal lead!

Game over 4-1.

Unlucky for Larne tonight. It was always a big ask.

From where they were a few years' ago and with a benefactor they have done extremely well.

Watched a programme on BBC news today, committed supporters and great chant

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Why did they sub the two cbs

 

[PJ87]

Bruno cant control himself

 

[Slime]

He never touched the cheating bugger who went down holding his head.

 

[Billysboots]

In two games United have gone from having a steadily improving solid base to absolutely shambolic again. Absolutely wide open, gaps everywhere, with players seemingly playing wherever they want. It’s like watching a primary school team.

Where, exactly, is Diogo Dalot supposed to be playing?

Doesn't need to make contact to be dangerous play, his foot was far too high

No it wasn't.

It wasn’t dangerous play though. That results in a straight red. Some slightly confused thinking there.
