    The best part of this game has been Andy Madley's mic quite often making him look like a quite plausible A-dolf Hitler. Other than that, substandard soccer from all except Cole Palmer.

    Martin Keown has also given the worst co-commentary of the 21st century. Bring back Lawro.

    Chelsea should play some sort of diamond. Palmer's really good in that 10 role, but Caicedo and Gallgher are much better as '8s' than 'double 6s' or whatever you call them in this system. Get Waff's man anchoring the whole lot and trade as much of the attacking dross as possible for Osimhen to play up alongside Jackson.

    3 at the back is still annoyingly the formation that suits the whole team. Every centre back Chelsea have is suited to playing the ‘wife’ centre back role. Chilwell is obviously only useful when making late runs and not being in the build up at the back. All the wingers at the club are dreadful so playing as narrow ‘10s’ also makes a whole lot of sense with Palmer and Chukwuemeka doing that until Nkunku comes back for a couple games.

    Regardless, the team looks much better without Sterling but you just know he will start the first game back.

    I never like 3 at the back, particularly not if you want to be a top team, it's too defensive.

    Brighton, whilst not a top team, got so much better when they shifted consistently away from the extra defensive player and started taking risks. You just need two decent centre-halves who can run.

    Leverkusen and Inter Milan - who are both pissing their respective leagues and in Inter’s case made the CL final - both play 3 at the back and are doing just fine. Leverkusen especially are just all about goals. It completely depends on your set up.

    I see Goe Jomez is preferred at RB to Bradley. Considering they've Rashford and Hojlund, you assume the former is wide left.

    Considering you've no tracking back from Rashford or Fernandes, the absence of Casemiro could be big. Hopefully we don't turn out another inexplicable performance like we did at Anfield.

    I still don't think things like that should be offside. The feet he needs to run with were behind.

    Someone needs to organise an Arsenal legends game then bomb the stadium so terrestrial TV can be finally rid of pathetic co-commentators. It was ear-bleeding stuff listening to Keown earlier but Dixon is pushing him already.

    Can we get a VAR for that pls cause that rat-faced captain cunt was down on the ground so you'd imagine he would have been fouled.

    We've got Szobo, Quansah, Endo like some international Abercrombie & Fitch exhibition and they've got king ratface and his incest offspring

    They've done the same thing they did against City. Started well, flying about, gassed themselves out and then lost it.

    Even if United play well, they’ve still got Onana in net who’s always susceptible to conceding. It’s funny how bad he is. Also there’s not a chance on earth he’s 6’3” like wiki says, even measuring to the top of his hair.

    They should just pre-record the punditry for United games, or show the same one every week.

    How you picking on Onana, you tory cunt, he's been their best player for the last few months ffs. Their quarter of Bruno, McTominay, Rashford and Garnacho are where the criticism should be aimed at. The attitude and work-rate (or just intelligence in McTominay's case) is comical.

    Stating the obvious I know, but there seems to be a modicum of disbelief at them losing here, so I will anyway. They're just an above average Premier League team these days, who don't really stand much of a chance against sides like Liverpool and City.

    Bruno should go for that, bad refereeing. Out of control, should be a second yellow.

    FA Cup they seem to give a lot of leeway on everything / not apply the laws of the game.
