#PREMATCH

#MANUCHEL

Against Liverpool, Slot assigned Curtis jones to constantly Man mark Palmer and greatly neutralized Chelsea's attacking threat.

Against newcastle, Maresca tweaked and majorly played Palmer to play-make from behind our lines. This proved efficient against an also highly pressing newcastle team

Today it will be interesting to see how we will deploy.

One sure thing though is United must adopt a conservative and aggressive style if they are to have any chance. Just the way a more fancied Liverpool did. There is nothing shameful in them admitting our tactical superiority over them.

But if they try to play anything fanciful and adventurous like they did against the second string Leicester team, it doesn't matter whether they are at home. We will whoop and whack them so shamefully and so bad.

Admission of weakness is in itself grace.

Players to create 20+ big chances in the Prem in 2024:

Cole Palmer
Kevin De Bruyne

Chelsea 🤝 Man City.

Maresca needs to switch up his markers because this isn't working. Lavia and Caicedo are pushing far too high and there's an ocean between them and the backline on the break. Gusto's been trying to underlap for Noni but may be far more useful plugging that gap instead.

#HALFTIME

They have been good but so have we.

They are using the same Liverpool tactics of holding positions when out of possession and quickly target long balls behind our backline

The set piece coach we hired from Brentford is stealing a living for real

Malo Gusto is the one and only that can make a difference in this match and he has not been to his best, he can't play the false no.8 role efficiently when we have possession.

I would've loved Reece in that position but Maresca knows he isn't fit enough to do that kind of workrate.

Let's hope he improves in 2nd Half together with our wide wingers

When the opponent has a high line and we can get in behind, we’re dangerous.

When they drop off and force us to make decisions while driving at them, we’re terrible. The main reason why I think Nkunku will find his way into the team this season.

Robert Sanchez has kept as many clean sheet as Petrović did.

31 appearances each, 7 clean sheets each

Only bangers from Caicedo

Moisés Caicedo has scored 4 goals in the Prem.

Half of them have come vs Man United.

Against small teams, Yes. Against Serious opponents... not even a million miles close. His work rate cannot live the Maresca demand in such high octane games. He will continue eating the bench like yams

Of course until he pulls up his socks

Sanchez good performance before the penalty but that’s exactly the type of player we have. You can’t rely on him for 90 minutes.

This is Manchester united for Gods sake. It was a screwed jalopy until the fraud Ten Hag was shown the door.

They reverted back to their big club mentality as soon as the man went.

Because they had the talent, the grit and the motivation.

Yes, we fought against a big club today.

It's a point gained.

Echo with Sam @Samkasto

I’ve lowered my expectations for some players in big games. Today was so poor only like 3 or 4 were good today.

I’m sorry Caicedo we don’t deserve you.
