Rice was fantastic, and apart from his mistake (which he promptly made up for), I thought Zinchenko played very well today. Tough game, not a good performance, but a very good win. Happy for Kai.
So rough for Brentford. Lost a lead at Old Trafford on stoppage time and now this
Rice and saliba are unreal
Send Chelsea another 65m tbh, they’ll waste it anyway.
King Kai, my big fackin German😋😋😋
Need to improve creativity wise. This Odegaard slump isn’t helping, but we are good at controlling games and good defensively. Also I beg our keeps become more confident
I can actually excuse this game. He’s coming back from a long injury, so it can’t be expected that after 1 game, and maybe 1 practice, he’s back to his usual standards. We need to give him a bit of time IMO.
