I should have done over 10.5 corners.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Was that Iniesta or Kante?
No idea Dwight McNeil is at Everton
The sort of players who also get under appreciated.
Chelsea playing a corner back to the goalkeeper. It's not just us. 
Agree.

That’s assuming the linesmen or referee see that the ball is out. Without VAR if neither sees that then Gordon is always going to get injured.
Doucoure's are everywhere now. Are they the new Diarra/Sissoko?
Gordon's hair. I don't get it, when did fluffy piss coloured pastry become the look?
Remember when they used to just swap shirts?
I've bet Tuchel as first manager to get the sack.
Looking at that Chelsea-lineup - it looks so far behind Liverpool and City - so its not just us
And Traores
No yellow? Refs a homer.
Good managers have the sense to use what is best for their team knowing the circumstances.
Lampard should continue to stick with a back 3/5 because it suits them best. They can't go toe to toe. Tarkowski is best in a lower defensive line. With Gordon, Gray, and whoever else, they are better suited to transitions from within their half to take advantage of the space in behind.
He's absolutely useless.
Should have been a yellow tbf
Give them another three weeks or so. They'll have spent another 10 billion.
They would benefit from moving James to RB, playing a 4 and getting Kovacic into midfield.
In this game, with this team he currently has available - yes. With new signings and DCL back? I'd disagree. Gana - Onana - Doucoure in a 3 man midfield would give a back 4 suitable protection. Anyway, your original point was that Lampard doesn't know what he wants to do or doesn't play cautious or defensive enough which is weird as he is literally doing that in this game.
Is Louis van Gaal advising Chelsea on set pieces, only Reece James allowed.
James corners have been horrific.
Chelsea has been a cup team for years now, but it keeps getting overlooked. They are marginally better than United last year even with the shitshow that was United. And Chelsea gets away with loaning out a striker in Lukaku to the club they are still paying in annual amortized payments.
Holgate have made 5 or 6 corners now.
Reminds me of when Phil Jones took our corners
Refs deffo forgot his cards.
Stonewall yellow card.
At least he’s consistent. That should’ve been one too.
Absolutely. Maybe not a homer, just shit.
Professional fouls both of them
The Fulham vs Liverpool match was well more fun.
Chelsea somehow manage to be the most consistently boring side in the PL.
It’s Pawson, what do you expect?
Chelsea seriously miss Kovacic in midfield, is he injured?
Chelsea lack something in the final third. They pass it around nice but at a certain point, something is missing
Someone to put it in the back of the net

"One of the initiatives brought into the PL this season."
The Premier League are basicall EA Fifa. Repackaging old shit that's existed in European leagues for well over a decade. Sky acting like they just invented the wheel.

Gray is dreadful, championship level player. Doucoure on the other hand always impressed me.
They're not even creating good chances so far tbh
