Pizy

Imagine how embarrassing it would now be if we lose to them AT home, with a Wembley trip on the line, missing several of their best players, and against Mourinho. Fuck, we better not lose this! Planets all aligned for him to look like a hero. Thrash the cunts, please!

Yeah, I just saw a tweet saying none of Rashford, Rooney, or Martial were spotted on the team bus. Not reading much into it myself. They'll probably travel separately for some reason.

He just can't take it, can he? A "defensive" team who have scored just 1 fewer goal than the most balls-to-the-wall attacking side in Europe in Liverpool. Makes sense, José.

No Zlatan to target our lack of height on the right side of defense but it may actually work in their favor as José can now have his team press high against us which Zlatan isn't really going to do. He'll most certainly try to emulate what Spuds & Liverpool have done to us and try to bully us with the press.

I really dislike both PSG and Barca so I didn't care who went through. I don't want to see another English side win the Cal if it ain't us, so I guess it's better if Barca went through since I don't think City would beat them if they matched up later in the competition whereas PSG are huge bottlers where City would have a chance. If they even advance, that is.

They actually showed some balls and not only banned the poster boy of the FA's darling club, but also banned him for their own Cup. Wouldn't have been shocked at all if they found some way of excusing him of that elbow saying it was "accidental."

I was just coming in to say that it's nice to see everyone in the media praising him and giving him his due credit. Great that his work is being recognized just like it was last season. Even seeing many rightly tipping him for player of the year. He simply doesn't have truly poor games. He may have an off day where he isn't dominant (like against Spurs and Liverpool where we get pressed constantly for 90 minutes) but he's a steady 8/10 player week in and week out with some 9 or 10/10's sprinkled in. So lucky to have him and to think he can improve further...oh my!

Those three are all stunning. The grey away kit, especially. Please be real!

We're probably going to have to get used to our football getting more pragmatic and machine-like as the season draws closer to the end. We'll be playing several sides that will be fighting desperately to stay in the PL and several other sides who will be fighting for a European place and will be treating their matches against us like finals.

Can a match be very comfortable and very uncomfortable at the same time? Weird game.

Diego can't hold on to the ball to save his life here...

Looking at that counter around the 40th minute again and damn, Hazard would've been much better off shooting. Im with a lot of you about Diego. He looks so lethargic and off the pace. Like he's just going through the motions. None of the fire and relentless attitude dome earlier in the season.

Cesc and Pedro had a terrible first half. So many wayward passes that should be simple for them.

WHY THE FUCK DOES MOSES KEEP ALLOWING THESE EASY CROSSES!? Did we not prepare at all!?

Just allowing them to play the exact game they wanted. And letting them win every single 50/50 ball. We blitzed Swansea last week with pace and aggression, yet here were playing at walking pace.

Snodgrass and Lanzini will be playing long balls and swinging in crosses nonstop to Carroll if we allow them to. We have to completely smother the service.

So nervous because we all know this won't be the typical West Ham we've seen so far this season. It being the showcase Monday night match with all eyes on them you know they'll raise their game and probably play out of their skin. We know all week Bilic will have been studying our weaknesses and drilling it into them nonstop. Thankfully we have a manager who will have us fully prepared for this and hopefully our boys realize how massive this match is with City and Spuds starting to breath down our necks. Could be a massive kick in the gut if we lose this. Almost panic stations dare I say.

Good. Much as I love Willian, he doesn't necessarily terrify defenders like Hazard does. We need Eden in top form to remain ahead of Spuds & City.

Great...

Unless they offered £150m there's no way Levy would sell him to United. Not with the new stadium on the way. He's their only real source for goals and without him they be nowhere near top 4.

So much for Everton making a late surge towards top 4. They're shocking here. No service to Lukaku, midfield slow and awful, and defenders all over the place. Alos, I just cannot stand Harry Kane. Don't know what it is about him. Maybe it's the brain dead expression he always has on his face, maybe it's the 3 sizes too small shirt he wears, I don't know...he's just annoying. Absolutely deadly finisher, though.

Everton look dreadful. I think Spuds will continue winning for the remainder of the season so we must do so as well. They're still our biggest danger I think.

Yep. I love him as a player but for silly money like that we could easily get Sanchez who's better anyway.

One of those players who's linked with moves away every year but will never leave Dortmund.

I don't know. Spurs are kind of a concern for me. Not in Europe anymore so can focus only on the PL. Hoping the CL causes City to fall away.
