I didn't watch the game but for a player that was supposedly terrible in the game, he rarely gave the ball away (95% pass completion), won most of his duels, made 4 key passes and created one big chance according to the stats below and he was among the three highest rated players in the Chelsea lineup.
Not really a WTF deal with Shaw out for months and his back up Tyrell Malacia also out injured. Somebody had to be brought in on short notice and not many around or available with Premier league experience
Pure nonsense. You don't have to like a player but there's no need to blatantly lie.
What? He was good for Brighton
He was their POTY
oh gosh.. I was just joking, hoping this would be a more concerted assessment to bring him in
Funny how views convenient change, go to his other thread and it's our fans calling him shit and Chelsea lot defending him. Suddenly we have the reverse now
I watched pretty much every game he played at Brighton and this take is just completely wrong. I was expecting white text with this post.
To be fair I didn't know how Potter's tactics were like at Chelsea. But that's not trying not to lose the ball from the flanks, that was him being scared to do anything remotely risky.
Reminds me of Falcao to Chelsea where all United fans who had seen him playing that season each week were laughing at Chelsea’s stupidity. Just that this time it is the inverse.
Falcao was different, he had been out of the game for ages with a horrendous ACL injury and was never the same player again. Cucurella has spent a season struggling to find form in a disfunctional squad and at the time club after coming from a well organised, complimentary team. He could easily rediscover that form in the right place. Falcao was a much bigger gamble.
Cause he is shit. I thought he was bad last season but Chelsea fans who have watched him more think that he is horrible.
Mate Chelsea spent £100m on Mudryk and £65m on Havertz....
We have this ability if getting very good players and making them look terrible. Now imagine when we sign terrible players, how will they look?
Because he’s just not good enough.
How, the feck, did Weghorst make us look worse? I notice you didn’t include Sabitzer there but I must just be a Ten Hag advocate.
He made us worse by being useless and playing the equivalent of 20 games while scoring once or twice. He made us worse by us effectively playing with 10 men in attack. He made us worse cause to accommodate him as 10, ten Hag was playing both Rashford (as 9) and Bruno (as 11) in their non favorite position.
Of course Weghurst made us worse. As one commentator said, a centre forward without a goal threat is nothing. We tried to play long to him and yet he couldnt win headers or even hold the ball up. Probably one of our top 3 worst signings ever.
Faced with a deep block and no forward options he retains possession. This is stupid video. Says more about Chelsea failings
You won’t win the battle quoting what Chelsea paid for him, not with what’s gone In the last 12 months.
So you’re saying we were better with Ronaldo up top?
Absolutely. We would have been better with pretty much anyone else up top. Weghorst is comfortably the worst regular player I have ever seen play for United.
We were terrible with Ronaldo up top. We had to play Rashford through the middle, out of position, for any sort of decent standard opposition with Sancho out wide only for Sancho to fall apart and be sent away to Holland due to some personal issue and he wasn’t sent there because he was playing well.
That coming from you is good enough for me
