Pizy

Very, very close to throwing my remote through the tv screen. Absolutely infuriating match. Why did we just continue doing what obviously wasn't working? Get it to the edge of their box over and over again and just stalled to walking pace. They're camped in there box every time we attack. PLAY WITH WIDTH AND STRETCH THEM! Our entire front 4 were completely ineffective against the aircraft carrier they had in front of goal. Didn't help that we ran out of gas in the second half. Matić was the only player who was at his best today. He was totally dominant and a monster once again. Very concerning that we looked so lethargic when we play in just a few days.

Same shirt happens to us every season it seems like. Villa last season for example. They raise their game like mad, beat us, and then proceed to look dire and lose 5 in a row afterwards. Hopefully we sharpen up. Infuriating to play against these teams.

Fucking hate these game raising cunts. I HATE going against this team. Ref has been shit as usual as well. We have to speed up play. These bastards won't concede with 11 men behind the ball like they were there. We can't pass through them.

Getting nervous!

I'd like to see Filipe for this one. Need a more attacking threat against the bus that'll surely be parked. Need to get him involved more anyways since the fixtures are going to start piling up.

"Let's go to Old Trafford today, bend over, let United score effortlessly and leave." -Hull City

Hull are fucking terrible. They look like they don't even feel like playing here.

Hate having to watch shit sides like Arse and United for hours before we kick off.

My goodness that's a shit side. Which makes me fucking nervous.

I actually think City will beat Southampton comfortably. This will be the start of their gradual slide away from the top of the table in my opinion.

Hopefully our first "bad" result doesn't come next week against that rancid Spuds side. Not sure I could take that.

Don't think I've even watched Sunderland once this season so I have no idea how they play these days in terms of play style and tactics. What can we expect here? Will they be a parked air craft carrier or what?

So we have to pay to see press conferences now? Wtf?

This will obviously never happen but LOL at people actually saying they wouldn't have the greatest player on Earth here. I mean, come on! Mourinho does want to build a 10 year dynasty and emulate Sir Alex. With Messi added to our current side we'd have the Premier League locked up for at least the next 5 years guaranteed.

Wasn't Cesc his best friend at Barca? I know Cesc's wife and Messi's girldfriend are best friends. Just saw an article in the Mail this past week about Cesc and his wife out in London with Messi's girldfriend. Not saying it's possible or probable, obviously.

Yeah, I keep seeing people saying he got injured.What a way to potentially spoil this night.

Has lionsden or nono stolen your TC password? This is the most frustrated I've seen you, Barb. I think Schürrle and Drogba are enough firepower off the bench if necessary.

Same. Also, Remy re-injured?

Excellent team. Would be just the match for Andre to gain his confidence back.

So with their best player out injured there really is no excuse if we don't win tonight. Yeah, it's a CL away match and anything can happen, but in the form we're in and with what's at stake here I'd be massively disappointed if we don't pick up all 3 points.

Anyone else? Can't find much on Twitter.

So is Draxler injured or not?

Once he hooks up with the best medical department in world football here he'll be fine.

Need a 3rd goal without conceding so nothing ludicrous or insane happens. Not celebrating victory yet.

Oscar my pre match pick for MotM.
