This is a Man City team that regularly gets embarrassed by Europe's elite. We are so far behind it's unreal.

Look at the quality of delivery from Kolarov. Then consider who our left back is - somebody who has a panic attack in the opposition half.

Begovic singlehandedly keeping us in this game. Literally.

I would genuinely rather have Zouma in his place right now.

Fabregas is so immobile it's unreal, man. He is so easy to roll and wrong foot. An absolute sieve in midfield.

HAHA, Silva running past Fabregas as if he isn't there and playing an inch-perfect pas. Team needs to retreat 30 yards and just see out the 0-0 if possible.

If Fabregas produces a stinker today it will only strengthen my growing belief that he needs to be dropped in the big games / latter stages of Champions League.

Hope for the best but expect the worst. If our best 11 was our, er, best 11 even against the good teams this would be a non-issue. But our so-called best players can't hold their own weight against good teams so somebody like Ramires becomes essential at putting out fires. What top midfielder better than Ramires is going to settle for that role?

Fabregas can't hide today, he has to play well for us to have a chance.

Injury or not he probably wouldn't have featured anyway.

27% possession, 2 shots.

WHY? He hasn't given a single reason (valid or not) as to why they have been removed.

Didn't watch but not surprised.

But how? What is so 'fucking stupid' about saying thank you people sending you messages of support?

It's funny how after Mourinho was slapped down for being an absolute idiot regarding the welfare of his own players his apologist are now making this a wider issue about social media. I guess when you read a statement like this it's hard to make any real excuses: "Yeah but you can't say thank you on facebook!!!!!!!!!!"

Put yourself in her shoes for a moment: she was ultimately criticised for doing her job. Let's cut everything else out and just focus on that for a moment. Now, is a thank you to people showing her support a crime?

Does Jorge Mendes have any anybody available? Maybe Falcao can double up as team doctor and physio?

A pubic post that simply said thank you, no less. You really couldn't make this up.

Yeah, because embarrassing your staff doesn't matter as long as you win.

Who is accusing Jose of being sexist? Other writers or reporters? Who or what is Martin Samuel responding to exactly? I am personally accusing Mourinho of being an absolute dickhead which are two completely different things.

I don't get what Eva did wrong by acknowledging the support she received. She was probably inundated with messages and simply said thank you - literally that was it, nothing else was said. And people are seriously trying to use that as justification for a demotion? Truly pathetic. Third season Jose really starting early this year and so are his crazies.

Jose is still the bestest of all time and can do no wrong

Serious, bro. Jose has to go like right now. #freeEva

Jose gotta go.

Jeez, that's terrible. Mourinho needs to chill, brah. Eva's a legend. She was with us shooting in the gym when we won the Champions League.
