Wow, I’m disgusted with that match. I would have been disappointed with a loss but the performance we put in was pathetic, really and truly pathetic. We had the momentum, we had home advantage and it was on opportunity for Mourinho to get one back at Chelsea but despite all of that, we squandered it.
Two individual errors cost us the goals. Aurier needs to get closer. That was defending 101. What was Gazza thinking? Too busy worrying about his hair to put a head to it, he was lucky not to get sent off. And then there’s Son. My favourite player on our team really let us down today. Again, what was he thinking? We have VAR now you twat. Once he got that it was game over.
On a side note, what is with our midfielders constantly passing back to defence when they’ve got no one around them and at least 5 seconds to think and pass. Is no one shouting “man on”?
I’ve said it multiple times before but Aurier and Dier are not to the standard we need for this team. If they’re on the team sheet in August, I will be very disappointed. And Verts is really starting to show his age and lack of pace. I’d definitely keep him as a back up CB but he should not be in the starting 11. Again this match emphasizes that we need some serious players brought in Jan and/or Summer.
I’m usually one of the more optimistic posters on here but there is absolutely nothing positive to take from that game other than Sissoko who is a god dam beast. Levy, just give him a contract until he decides to retire for his attitude alone. Really disappointing game and very much like Man U where one team was up for it and another, wasn’t.
