Undoubtedly. Results without him previously have showed a pattern.
Relevant to us here too was the discussion after the game with Rio Ferdinand about what happens when you lose confidence and momentum. It happens to everyone.

Rodri is the key, he allows the fullbacks to be so attacking, and covers their shortfalls imo.
I do think there is also a drop off in skill/talent level from say 2-3 years ago. Guys like Mahrez etc were better than doku or savinho. De Bruyne isn’t quite the same force, gundogan isn’t the same player he was before he left and came back. Halland doesn’t contribute to the build up the same way his predecessors did (letting Julian Alvarez go was a mistake imo), making them a bit more predictable. Their centre backs aren’t as good as predecessors except Diaz, who is looking quite injury prone. I also think they look quite disjointed this season, foden has looked out of form, they seem to go back and forth across the box with little penetration.
2-0 Chelsea Reserves
No idea why but I've just never been able to warm to Chelsea. I've no real reason to dislike them.
I quite liked them as a kid when they were crap. The Gordon Durie, Pat Nevin, Kevin McAllister, David Speedie, Micky Hazard and Kerry Dixon sort of era.
Then they got loads of money and lost all sense of cool, in spite of having cool players like Gullit and Zola along the way.
For a further example see Manchester City. Goater, Kinkladze etc much more likeable than their great modern team.
I’m a crap glory hunter.
Prediction … 3-0 Copenhagen.. Devlin to get sent off .. topped off by the Jumbos having another punch up :greengrin
Is Mikey Stewart sponsored to mentioned Shankland is the captain every time he talks about him?
Man Utd are almost as bad as Man City were last night
Michael "Mikey" Stewart is a slavering Jambo halfwit.
The Hearts love in is absolutely sickening , Devlin throws himself to the ground ' He seen it coming ' Shankland rolling about on the floor at every challenge
I ****ing hate Stewart so much !!!
How can the ref say that's not a penalty when there was more contact there than the "foul" Devlin got a minute ago.

Why are they playing Kent when he is clearly unfit?
Critchley is no genius, that's for sure
This commentary is hilarious. Hearts holding on buy their fingertips is classed as "brilliant defending".
They are pish
Brilliant Shankland just brilliant. Superb defensive performance, just brilliant.
BBC Heartsound
(Zero shots and 35% possession)
Where’s the 400,000 Hearts fans at the ground?
How are they not losing?
They are or maybe not
That defending 😂😂
The love affair for the yams is mental. They are absolute pish.
Or maybe offside 😡
Man Utd 1-0 down
Lol

It's a goal, yaaas
Every time Gordon makes a save it’s like the bestest most amazing world class save that a keeper has ever made. Ever
Michael Stewart commentators eye. Looked offside my arse

Can't argue with Stewart on Gordon. He is a brilliant goalkeeper
Winning in Copenhagen isn't for everyone ☺️
If the Copengagen fans ate laughing it's more likely at how bad Hearts are.
The Danes are trying to walk the ball into the net, wish they would shoot more.
Copenhagen goal wasn’t even close to being offside now … Stewart’s such a knob !
Why are these tramps wearing a blue kit? And have they got their home strips on underneath? Tramps indeed. What a state.
Another world class save from Craig Gordon as he saves a 35 yard pass back of a volley

That's a pen for me.
Should be a penalty
Penalty Copenhagen
Penalty 🤭
calm down mikey
just calm down man
p.s. never a penalty :greengrin
2-zilch
Never a pen. 1st half one was a stonewaller though.
World class Gordon gives away a stonewall penalty

Get in 👍
Stonewall Penalty in my opinion shocking should have been a red card.
Stewart needs taken off the mic when Hearts are playing
Good
No a penalty for me. Oh well.
Stewart is a walloper
Hearts really are rubbish. Absolutely rank. Imagine travelling for THAT performance 🤣🤣🤣
"What's the keeper meant to do?"
Maybe catch the ball.
I'l disagree with Stewart , That's a penalty for me , Once Gordon realizes the ball is not going into his arms he shapes his body and pushes to his right to take the player out
Penalty kick
Clear penalty. Striker gets to the ball first and knocks it past the keeper, then gets wiped out. Aye, keeper might not have meant it, but he cleans him out.
Fire drill now in away end.. Only 200,000 left sadly. 🇩🇰
That's never a penalty 🤣
Funny though.
2-0 …. What about this hertz identity Stu? :faf:
Definitely a penalty.Gordon lifts leg and brings player down
Ball going towards goal gordon brings guy down so defo penalty for me
The Jambos can now relax and continue making up a Lego version of their world famous and biggliest Main Stand
Time for another?
Heartsound are going to have to hope their team avoid defeat next time out so they can reset Critchley's latest unbeaten run, again.

Man Utd score👍
Hope they 86it against the minnows in the last game 🙏
Not the cheapest trip, and to not see your team muster a shot on target, oh well
Was never a pen but funny either way.
Stewart talks some pish.
Hopefully results go against them later, come on spurs now.
Hertz sorted now the Huns please 🙏
You can’t stop ‘em, the boys from Tottenham[emoji16]
