haven't seen RG post this week, must be busy/away on a trip

Thought he was in Dubai or something

Man Utd are pretty excellent. Peak van Gaal form again, like last February.

we've had 9 corners in 25 minutes

what's the PL record?

He is, back tomorrow though.

Both team playing good imo

Utd worsening now

chelsea coming into the game now

imagine it will be another back and forth game that somehow ends up 0-0 like earlier this season

Both teams defending well, but a 0-0 draw won't help either.

Do Chelsea fans want to get in the Europa League or not, btw?

We do

More like an undertaker.

martial's ability to cut inside from the wing is unreal tbh

literally ruins defenders every time

looks like zouma broke his ankle there

Zouma screaming in pain

You know it's bad when you got a big monster like Zouma screaming in pain

WHAT A GOAL FROM LINGARD

unstoppable finish, impressive from that angle too, top work from the lad

Chelsea already missing Zouma physically.

Spoiler:

Insane hit

Another example of a standard save

People who think that De Gea isn't easily one of the best keepers in the world incredible keeper, top 3 no contest

De Gea again Chelsea could be 2-1 up but De Gea unfortunately for Chelsea is the 2nd best keeper in the world

2 standard saves.

in 4 months we are in a cup final. As far as I'm concerned that's better than what Rodgers achieved for 2.5 years under his charge.

Oh please. Finishing 2nd and getting back to the CL > not even deserving to be in that cup final considering we were massively outplayed by ****ing Stoke. Our form and on field product has not been better than under Rodgers' final year even (where he lost to Chelsea in the semis of the CoC after outplaying them over two legs where we weren't given multiple blatant handballs in the box, btw, and made the FA Cup semis as well).

The pro-Klopp bias and anti-Rodgers bias is painfully obvious. If you want to knock Rodgers' handling of the in and outs of transfers (which again I still don't fully blame him for, but acknowledge that he definitely had some shortcomings) that's fine because obviously we need a better standard of player in multiple areas, but Klopp has not been any better with the players at his disposal and arguably worse even than Rodgers' last season where he still finished 6th despite an epic end of season collapse (Sterling being a selfish prick, Gerrard moving on, Sturridge injured, etc.).

It's funny isn't it. Courtois makes a good save, noone posts anything.
