Yeah Chelsea just couldn't find that rhythm they had during the CWC and summer friendlies. And lets be fair, Palace with Eze are a top 6 side imo, we drew with a fairly decent side who were very physical, thus not allowing Chelsea to get into their groove. If only that chance had fallen to Delap, or Palmer, or Enzo in the dying seconds.

This SHOULD be a better game

Can’t wait to see how all the new players do


So far City’s Reinjdeer looks outstanding

Early goal to Arsenal but I am sure VAR will try and disallow it

What a great 45 minutes

On balance ManU have possibly shaded it though Arsenal lead 1:0


Mason Mount was great and is like getting a new player.. Mbeumo good , Kunha and Casemiro both decent


Odegard nearly back to his best though nobody else really stood out


Can’t wait for Sesko

Didn’t that last minute change fall to the young Brazilian ??

Many experts in Brazilian football say he’s the best young player since Neymar !!

well, he was physically impeded by an opposition player. I don't think thats right, but really, Man U had plenty opportunities to change the game and didn't. Decisions go against you in every game, that's football. I still think it was the wrong decision

Fair enough.

It was definitely nice to see them being competitive with the second best team in the country currently.

Because last season I do think that Man Utd would've made a fair few howlers.

I do still think that you need to sort your goalkeeper situation out though.

iThe team that scores the most goals wins, Man U have had some very dodgy goalkeepers in the past and still won competitions.

Onana is crap and he is the first choice keeper. Goalkeepers are not really expensive and it should have been a priority in my opinion, but the man u board obviously thought differently
