Who's been a bigger let down - Dembele or Pepe?

Claudius

Dembele has a looooooooooooong way back to that Dortmund form. Hopefully, he gets there

Wait Pjanic plays for Barca? I'm getting confused. Doesn't help that they design these stupid kits, got no idea what's what.

We are the only team without a hot pink kit. I’d really love to sit in those marketing meetings where the guys explain why the teams need a hot pink kit.

A win tonight and United take control of a group we expected them to struggle in.

Maybe they are not as bad and incompetently managed as we make them out to be?

mentalvortex

2-0 to United now.

Dreading the weekend match now. Feel like we are going get smashed on the counters.

mentalvortex

3-0 now. Rashford again.

mentalvortex

4-0 now. Martial from the spot.

Upmecano has not looked worth 60 million tonight.

mentalvortex

5-0 now. Rashford with his hat trick.

Coombs

I have a feeling we can suck Man Utd in, in a way that we couldn't against Leicester, and that we'll get chances. Have to take them. Leipzig playing a possession game pushed high up is suicidal.

I think we will get smashed. But I would like to be surprised for once

TambourineMan

We shit on United but we are a million miles away from being able to do what they did tonight.

It's basically the only way not to play against this United team. Really arrogant from Nagelsmann, but it what you should expect I guess.

This, I'm sure you understand, makes no sense.

What is worrying is that all of Chelsea, United and Spurs are imperfect teams. But they have the ability to score lots of goals. What it means is these will lose a lot but they have the capacity to win a lot. A king premier league season will reward volatile teams like this over more stable teams like ours. We saw this over the last two year when draws really killed us. And it will happen again this year unless we learn to score. The only reason we have two losses against a city and Leicester is because we don’t attack enough. We should have at least one draw or more from those games. We can’t afford that attack in the league. It will bury us

Makes sense to me. We're far away from battering teams by 5 goals in any fixture, let alone in the champions league. RB helped them and theyre fairly 1 note with pace abuse on the break, but at least they have that 1 note they can play against middling teams

Asterix

Man Utd doing their usual trick of remembering they play us soon and getting good again. Flakey feckers.

It doesn't make sense because the way to compare quality is not to take a look at a team's best result in God knows how long and say "we can't do that". I also don't see Arteta's Arsenal losing by five at home to Spurs in a million years, but ultimately it's how you play on average that decides which team is the best one and not these freak results.
