    Imagine leaving Jesus and Sterling on the bench, lads with 6 goals each in the league and still putting out arguably better replacements in Aguero and Silva.

    The advantage of being state backed. Everything that's wrong with football.

    Actually Watford can feel hard done by a bit. First one never a corner, and Rudiger sending off would've been big. Guess it still makes it fun for the neutral.

    Yeah their away form has been fantastic, and Chelsea have been rubbish at the Bridge so far.

    Plenty of centre mid injury concerns for Chelsea so hard to see them being defensively solid, hence why attack probably best form of defence for them right now.

    Reckon it could be a 4-2 type scoreline.

    Richarlison the most exciting new addition to the league, he could pose a big threat today.

    Dang Rekop hope ya threw a tenner on that

    Harsh on Warford but Chelsea's quality told in the end.

    Get the feeling that teams who play mid-week in the CL struggle to get going in these early kick offs. Watford seemed to run out of steam after the equaliser, physically and mentally.

    Another manager on the tightrope, although not as much as Bilic or Koeman I'd say.

    I’d say you need to have a look at the financials bud and net spend for last 5 years including club revenue.

    Roman hasn’t paid for a player out of pocket in a long while.

    As if that’s even a retort anyways. Football is a business, so investment not part of that? Or are United the only club allowed to spend money because they sell more United brand toilet seats/pot noodle/ credit cards

    We're seeing knock on effect of Jose's baffling tactics against a poor defence last week. I said it will make a dent on their confidence and momentum.

    Lindelof sounds like a German brand of chocolate found in Lidl or Aldi. Something like a fake After Eight.

    Exaggerated contact sounds like double speak for a dive

    Looked a dive, I think only a city fan would defend it.

    Clearly trapped his ankle with his knee...can be quite painful those.

    Suggested the same thing myself during the Benfica game, they have completely lost their way.

    Exaggerated contact but who doesn't do that? Camera angles of the replays are inconclusive. Angle to view is prone to errors. Unless the FA can find some definitive angle (and it proves it wasn't a penalty) I can't see that ban happening.

    More a case of United's luck finally running out. They should have lost to Liverpool last weekend and only for a howler from a young inexperienced keeper in midweek they would have drawn that game. I've been watching the Huddersfield hoping they'd get their deserved comeuppance and so it has come to pass. I hope Huddersfield keep a calm head.
