    Would say the mags had the better of the game but Everton were really pushing for 15 minutes before they scored. Was definitely a pen mind, Dummett dragged Young down by the neck so I hope none of their fans are whinging.

    Pickford certainly didn’t want them to win.

    Everton were pathetic in the first half. Could’ve easily been 2 or 3 down. Mags will be gutted they haven’t won there.

    To be fair to Southgate, who I neither like nor rate, having Foden and Bellingham vying for the same place in the team is a real problem. He's going to look stupid no matter how he deals with it unless he can figure out a system that uses both in the middle.

    Such a shame those two are going to spend the next decade hurting each other's England careers.

    Lampard and Gerrard all over again.

    Pickford
    Walker Stones Maguire
    Saka Rice Mainoo Shaw
    Bellingham Foden

    For two sides that have spent billions in recent years, this Chelsea v Man Utd game is shocking. Mistakes galore, neither can defend, no attacking structure.

    These games seem to rely on individual moments of brilliance ... or terrible mistakes.

    That's exactly it. When you watch the top top teams they clearly have plans to defeat the opposition, watching these two I can't see any plan at all it's just pass to the 'star' players and hope they do something.

    Chelsea team full of kids. They might come good in a couple of years. Man Utd have been let down with 10 years of terrible recruitment. Can't see them competing any time soon
