How on earth have Man United managed to sneak their way to the top of the table?!

How on earth have Man United managed to sneak their way to the top of the table?! 

By taking advantage of plenty of dubious referee and VAR decisions   simple as that   xx

I have been pretty impressed with West Ham this season, they have far too much quality to be involved in relegation fights every season / Declan Rice is a very good player and Soucek gets so many important goals / Jarrod Bowen is a sexy guy aswell as being a hard working goal threat / Antonio would be a nightmare to play against & Cresswell is just as good a player as Chilwell in my opinion xx

I am very annoyed that Liverpool have allowed Man Utd to get as close as they have with disappointing finishing in both the WBA and Newcastle games! Man Utd should be nowhere near as they have gotten away with so many dodgy decisions this season the penalty after the full time whistle against Brighton + Maguire blatent foul on Azpilicueta against Chelsea to name just 2 and then Rashfords heavy deflected last minute winner against Wolves last week was typical Man u, then that ''penalty'' against Villa was Ridiculous ....... but still Man City are the only threat to Liverpool retaining our title regardless & they absolutely spanked Chelsea today xx

So, Frank has gone,

Can't say I'm surprised and, in all honesty, I can't say I'm that gutted. It's one of the few times I've agreed with Roman sacking one of our managers - probably Jose second time around was the only other one. Fortunately, Rafa Benitez leaving Dalian Professional 2 days ago appears to be unconnected & it looks like Tuchel will be appointed,

I'm excited. I think he'll carry on using the best of our young players (Mount, James, Gilmour, Abraham) and hopefully get a tune out of Havertz, Werner, Ziyech, & Pulisic.

It was quite a leap for Frank going from Derby to Chelsea. It doesn't always work out when popular players become managers. Arteta has been struggling, and the knives were out for Solskjaer not so long ago, though he has managed to turn things around for now. 
Frank might be better off with a team with no aspirations, no money, and no wins for a zillion games. Yes Frank, come on over to NUFC!!

I think the fact he had been backed in the transfer market and it hasn't worked out did for him really. He seemed to freeze people out and then suddenly they were back in favour.
I'm not a Chelsea fan but I don't think Mount is cut out for regular first team action, don't think he adds anything to the game.

I don't get the criticism Mount receives, both for England and Chelsea. He's been our most consistent player this season and for quite a lot of last season too, and once again we looked better when he came on tonight. He's one of those players who isn't really appreciated until he doesn't play.

As for Tuchel, it was great to see our manager actually smiling and looking happy to be there - he was like a kid in a sweetshop in the interview before the game. Frank had become rather dour to say the least in the last few weeks.

I also liked it how Tuchel wasn't drawn into stupid questions such as 'Why Chelsea'... seriously how poor are journalists??
