They did thanks to Utd choking

We've lost to similar teams as well in that run

That might be the case but Morata can't be first choice and fortunate to be in the squad at all on recent form.

We've had ourselves to blame (some might say AC) for not winning two of the biggest games of the season. We had only lost to City by 1 goal out of the top 6 prior to last weekend (beat Tottenham away & drew at Anfield), so I don't see the doom & gloom just yet. However, I think Sunday's performance will have a massive impact for the remainder. Players have had a week off, so fatigue has no relevance on Sunday.

Might be the case for some but very few reject Barca/Madrid. City winning the CL would be the only thing to change that right now.

I'm sure they could sign someone like Aguero fairly easy. De Bruyne is probably the only City player that would be almost impossible to sign right now.

Real are going to spend plenty this Summer.

Might be the case but you don't question the manager in public (if that's the case) or at all. Needs to realise what to say and not say

He's been the reason a lot of games have gotten away from us in the past three months.

Costa is probably their best bet

They did lose to Wigan with effectively their first XI, so it isn't all rosy. Winning the CL would put things in a different light but I expect them to come up short again.

I go by stats. 99 out of 100 is the odd exception, not 3 times in the last 17 years. Quote me in future, if your going to throw an insult or two around. [emoji3]

No. Lazio 99/00, Roma 00/01, Inter 06/07. Don't believe half the nonsense some post.

He won't

He talks too much. That much is certain and it's becoming more than annoying now

Top 5 at best. He certainly ain't the best and would command £60m+.

Exactly. To think Morata went on a 27 game run without scoring whilst at Juve is unbelievable (currently on 13).

His attitude is going to get him the sack ahead of results at this rate

He would have joined Blackburn if it wasn't for a volcano. Could have turned out to be Modeste or Kalinic We went/were going that way under Mou until he fucked it up, so can't say much else at this point.

More to do with luck & fate. Going down to 10 men at the Nou Camp and still walking away undefeated was something. Lets hope our current squad take note

It would certainly be interesting to see Marina talk about our acquisitions.

It didn't make a difference in the summer. Things won't change in terms of signings until a manager is given more power or the board is reformed.

Him and Willian were dead early on in the second half, so I can see reason behind it. The fact Morata finished the game is what took the biscuit.

I agree but Conte's choices today didn't help either. Our strongest point and arguably the best in the league is our defence, so we have to work around our strength for the remainder of the season and hope whoever leads the line delivers.

Don't know if heart has anything to do with it (showed it against Barca) but more about lack of creativity. A decent RWB & CF would have seen us coast to victory against Utd. Think this game is a perfect time to try a few different players out ahead of Barca.
