3 Important observations from Chelsea vs Manchester United

Thiago Silva shows his class

Thiago Silva

Thiago Silva is looking to settle in quite well at Chelsea. The former PSG man out in a good foot at PSG and was crucial to the Chelsea defence. Silva made a crucial block to deny former teammate Edison Cavani.

With a passing accuracy of 95% he combined it with two recoveries and two interceptions as well.

VAR- Is it reliable?

To any neutral fan watching the match, Maguire’s tackle on Azpillecueta is an easy decision. A clear cut penalty and nothing else. However VAR again proves that the only thing reliable about it is it’s unreliability. The system is absolutely broken and fails to provide valid consistent results.

The Premier League needs to take a good hard look at the pathetic quality of its referees.Such decisions could be crucial in the long run of the season.

Eduoard Mendy is here to stay

Eduoard Mendy

Easily the MOTM today, Edouard Mendy has truly announced himself . The Senegalese international made some important saves to keep Chelsea in the match. First a lovely block using his legs to deny Rashford and then jumping to keep put Mata’s curling effort.

However the last save from Rashford was the best if the lot. The striker had connected ever so sweetly and the it looked a certain goal.But Mendy flung himself to make an outstanding save. Chelsea have finally found themselves a worthy goalkeeper.
