Not keen on ref today. Think he’s skewed his decisions Chelsea’s way.
I mean the big call which would’ve changed the game he got wrong.
Also that booking for the dive by mr.manslaughter was stupid too
Caporegime
That looked a nasty one, glad he's OK.
They've let him back on, can only assume he wasn't knocked out.....

What a save that was
Caporegime
Unbelievable save although Lukaku has to bury that.
Caporegime
Lukaku's been excellent today, his hold up play especially has been top notch.

Man UTD need a striker.
You only really have Cavani as a proper striker?

Caporegime
No we don't, none of our problems today were because of a lack of striker.
Caporegime
You really need a huge tough as old boots defender to deal with Lukaku, someone in the Tony Adams, Jaap Stam or Terry Butcher mould could do the job.
Caporegime
A lot of it is positioning. Greenwood should be going down the middle. He is the future as his body isn't quite there yet. Sancho on the right and Martial needs to be going down the left as that is where he is best.
Ole basically said to Tony. Here is your chance take it which he didn't. I hope he doesn't make that mistake again.
Caporegime
Would you class Rashford as a striker?
Caporegime
No. Essentially both Rashford and Martial occupy the left and never really work together. They both love to cut in on their right.
Cavani is our only central player although Greenwood is learning his trade.
Caporegime
Also known as being useless
We spent all our goals last week. I think our xG vs Leeds was 1.6 or something yet we banged in 5.
Caporegime
It was his first game since March, I'm willing to cut him a little slack. Especially as Greenwood went up front when he came off and was no better.
Last one on the MMA Burnley were doing but this is a personal fave

I hope they go down this season.

Thankfully we don't have to play them again for a good few months. The reaction of a few chimpanzee pundits to Klopp's comments are going to embolden Burnley to be even more physical and like with any rule change or tweak, it takes a few months of extreme situations before things settle down. Just like the start of last season where any contact with the arm ended up being a pen and we were getting 2 pens per game, for a few months (or until somebody gets injured) we're going to see refs allowing the likes of Burnley to get away with their yard dog tactics before they realise they've gone too far the other way.
The suplex on Jota was the 'best' challenge of the match.
