    That's awful from a Chelsea perspective, but completely in line with their season.

    Brutal by Dalot, penalty awarded, no idea why VAR were looking at it so long, blatant penalty.

    3-3 Palmer had to wait way too long for such a simple decision but he looked very composed in fairness.

    I cannot get over Utd fans being beat into this guy. They are so so tactically unaware it's hilarious.

    That’s as crazy an ending to a game.

    Both managers will be gone in the summer.

    It’s almost impressive how 2 teams that are so expensive can be so brutal at the same time.

    Also WTF was that VAR check about, 2 minutes to decide on one of the most blatant penos you will see. Like what to do think happened?? How did he fall over as he was just about to pull the trigger??

    I presume we're now allowed to say that Ten Hag is quite clearly out of his depth. The owners of the club don't run training

    Well I prefer what I see than let stats decide anything. I've seen loads of both and Martinez has been a far busier keeper than Raya. What's in front of you is very important and Villa have been missing players quite a lot from the back line.

    I have no doubt that Martinez has been by far the best keeper in the league this season.

    Same as when I say that Douglas Luiz has been the best player I've seen this season. I'm sure stats won't back that up and he's not from one of the big clubs and he's not English so he's not going to get any credit.

    I guess I'm sounding like a Villa fan now.

    Anyway we all have our own opinions.

    The one thing you can be sure of is that when it comes time for awards in the Premier league it's going to be top performers from big clubs only and English players that will fight it out for the awards.

    Outside of Mahrez I don't think there's been a winner that wasn't from City, United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs since the turn of the century.

    Well is it the coach or has there been a bigger problem at the club since Alex Ferguson retired? Fergie had full control of football matters, no United coach has had that since then.

    When you've had Di Maria, Schweinsteiger, Mkhitaryan, Pogba, Alexis Sanchez, Casemiro and Varane fail to perform at the consistent world class level they did before they got there during different managerial periods then you've got to wonder if there's a bigger problem at the club. I've only mentioned proven top class performers at big clubs before they came to United.

    You can look at others like Mason Mount, Jadon Sancho, Martial, Antony, Van de Beek, Fred, Matic, Depay and Fellaini who were all big money signings and none of them worked out. That's too many that haven't and it's been at different times with different managers.

    Can you honestly lay the blame for all those not performing at the level they did at their previous clubs on the managers?

    You can squarely blame the manager for this, Absolute delusion on here all season arguing the case for ETH. The coach is the biggest influencer on results and directly impacts the amount of tactical control the team exerts in all stages of the game.

    Utd got their lead yesterday and there was nothing done to try and slow the game down, tighten up, manage the clock, etc. Either the manager didn’t think of it or the players don’t listen to him. But the stats speak for themselves, indeed the eye test of watching Utd and looking at the amount of control they exert.

    Time to sack another manager, long past time infact.

    I think you’ll find that the problem is that the managers have had too much control.
    Ten Hag has been failed by the club in the sense that he’s been left to pick the players and there are aren’t many successful signings there at all. Look at the scrap he’s brought in, Amrabat, Regulon, Malacia and Antony. Add to that the players that were over the hill, Casemiro, Evans, Eriksen. Then big money on Onana, Martinez, Hojland, Mount. How many of that little group have been a success? That’s 11 players off the top of my head. He’s had too much control.
    Utd need a reset. A DoF type figure, a new manager, a stats department. When they get that right they will do better.
