So does this mean Man U have made it a 3 way fight for the title?

Tbf, if they don't at least challenge for the title or win anything, Ole should be sacked.
I mean, what do you need more?

We need a CDM. But we're pretty freaking loaded right now. Certainly not perfect, but the back 4 is damn good and the attack is frightening. And De Gea seems to be back in very good form.

This. There were some shaky moments Saturday from New Castle's counter attack. We know Matic and Fred are not always the most secure options. Still, I think our goal scorers will lift us into contention.

Newcastle and Leeds having a poor start to the season.

30 minutes of Burnley ball and Arsenal looking terrible then a stupid foul on the edge of the box and Odegaard scores. Unimpressive but ecpected.

Nice run for Villa's goal.

Now and own goal and Villa up 2-0.

Good win and a clean sheet.
I'll take it.

I know Pulisic is injured, but are people still super high on him? I remember few years back the hype around him was huge, he supposed to be great American hope, and then he landed on a team, at the same time with Mason Mount, who wasnt even that big of an English prospect, and IMO Mount completely outmatched him. That showed the difference between USA and England gap.

Is that something we really needed any proof for?

Spurs way more aggressive about going forward.

Such a contrast compared to the way they played under Mourinho.

But not necessarily more goals for all that. Seems like the counter was their most effective mode.

Now Chelsea go ahead, after they pressed forward more in the second half.

Spurs hung around for first 30 minutes, but there's such a huge gap between the two teams.

He was pretty sensational during the CL run and was unplayable the season prior to even get Chelsea top 4 and CL football under Lampard.

He's a pretty phenomenal talent, just inconsistent and his body is it's worse enemy. Copa America games against more physical South American opposition usually do him in considering he loves to hold onto the ball and progress via dribbling.

Ole's luck not finished yet.
Good. Let him stick around.

Getting so tired of this ****.

Don't think Nuno could have put out a better team or set them up any better. We came out looking great, pressing high and aggressively, but I feel like the Kane saga has left a toxic atmosphere at the club and the players have to be feeling that. Crowd was flat to start the second half and the players clearly felt it, and Chelsea just pummeled us from that point on. There's no fight in this team. When the first goal went in, you knew it was over.

Don't like defending Ole at the best of times but I don't think they were lucky today, tbh. They dominated the match, had multiple stonewall penalty decisions go against them, and Moyes made the stupid decision of bringing on a cold player to take the potential equalising penalty.
