Sheva.

If he played like today against Newcastle, Cisse doesn't score. Hopefully he has shaken off his bad moment.

Perfect lineup for this kind of game. I don't think we look that solid if it was Cesc in pivot and Oscar running around. Our attack did take a hit, i will admit, but i blame Willian for a lot of it lol. Anyway, really solid performance, well done everyone.

TANK

Great goal.

Need another goal and fast.

Willian should stop looking for fouls and pass.

YESSSS

Yeah no Luis is the only annoying thing, but no way Azpi and Ivan would be dropped for this type of game.

Very close to what I wanted. Hopefully it works.

Yeah this. Their stats can be misinterpreted when taken out of context, but they do provide good insight. About Hazard - we all know he's no defensive beast, but when he actually drops back to defend, he does a good job the majority of the time. This is what the stats will show, compared to Cesc who is always in the thick of the action; missing many tackles and getting dribbled by faster players.

Optimism on my part. With Mikel and Matic, we don't need another defensive player.

Courtois; Ivan-Cahill-JT-Luis; Mikel-Matic; Oscar-Cesc-Hazard; Costa. We need to be strong in defense and also decisive in attack, and I really don't trust Willian and Oscar (together) in such games.

Utd keep stealing points.

According to live commentary, Lukaku scored an OG for Soton.

This is painfully predictable. I might shed a tear when City finally score a jammy goal.

I like. But I don't understand black 3rd kit again - more times than none, if we can't wear blue, we can't wear black also. I wish the yellow kit from this season could be used as permanent 3rd kit lol.

He can play shit and score. Willian can play amazing and actually not contribute anything in attack. Take your pick

I thought Mikel and Matic were solid today after their collective bad performance against Hull (Cesc back obviously helped too) One thing I like is how both are able to keep the ball under pressure (sometimes Mikel overdoes it and tries to take on 3 players lol) and can complete most basic passes, unlike Ramires. I think this could be our pivot come crunch CL knockout time.

Didn't know he had that in his locker, looked like Bale for a second.

I love Fabregas up the pitch.

Fuck, why Ivanovic.

OMG

That looked horrible.

Loool Fabregas, that's a yellow card offense.

This is what I like. We need to score when we're dominating.
