July 19, 20204 yr Author Probably just a conclusion goal there for Man United with a Fernandes penalty.
July 19, 20204 yr Its all over for Man Utd, 2017 here we come, since Arsenal have beaten Liverpool and Man City, I think Arsenal can do the impossible they seem to be on top form lately.
July 19, 20204 yr Better team on the day won in the end, we just have to concentrate on finishing top 4 and trying to win the Europa League now.
July 19, 20204 yr Best part was the commentator reeling off the list of teams Man Utd had scored hatfuls against in the expectation that a comeback was on the horizon at 3-0! De Gea had an absolute shocker. Personally I don’t think Dean Henderson is good enough either but there’s a massive goalkeeper problem at Man Utd with De Gea. He’s made way too many of those mistakes over the past 24 months. Utd just looked a bit limp with all the changes they made, they’ll get Top 4 though which I guess is what they would rather have.
July 20, 20204 yr Author Why on Earth did they change formation? Ask Ole that, didn't understand that formation.
July 20, 20204 yr Author Chelsea's 3-1 FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester United attracted an audience of 7.3 million to the BBC. The peak audience across the BBC's platforms saw the Blues end United's 19-match unbeaten run.
July 20, 20204 yr Ask Ole that, didn't understand that formation. Showed to much respect for Chelsea imo considering they have been playing so well recently

I'm inclined to agree. That's just typical isn't it, GK was the ONE position we didn't have to worry about for years & years post-Fergie, it was literally everywhere else on the pitch. Now we've got an abundance of attacking talent and it's the goalie (& defence) causing all the problems. De Gea has been our player of the decade no doubt but this is no longer a slump, he's been well below par ever since that Ronaldo howler at the World Cup... Henderson gives me vibes of being amazing at a smaller club with zero pressure then potentially cracking when the heat is turned up, a bit like Pickford. BUT Romero is seriously a brilliant back-up keeper and I'd be more than happy to see him take over the #1 mantle.

BUT Romero is seriously a brilliant back-up keeper and I'd be more than happy to see him take over the #1 mantle. It's so strange, but De Gea is a fantastic passer of the ball but he can't play sweeper keeper. That is completely the next level of being a keeper with the top teams in Europe, they are not as good shot stoppers as they are more exposed and have to read the game and of course they can make horrendous mistakes like Alisson and Ederson have done. With Henderson, I think it will be a case of when and not if,, but you are so right about the Pickford comparison, although I think Henderson has a much higher ceiling than Pickford. I've been really impressed woth Romero every time I've seen him, but I think that is a huge statement to drop your highest wage earner at the club.
July 23, 20204 yr Author Anthony Taylor will become the first referee to take charge of two FA Cup finals since 1901 when Arsenal face Chelsea at Wembley on 1 August. Referees usually take charge of the FA Cup final just once in their career. The move is because coronavirus rules mean the game will be behind closed doors, and the Football Association does not want a referee’s family to miss out on attending the match.
