*Fixed.

First touch better than the second. Terrible line from Madrid though and Cassillas covered neither the near nor the far post.

Neither offensively nor defensively. Let's be real.

Neymar might have cost Barcelona the title there. 2-0 would have probably been game over.

Because he changed our pressing at HT which meant we were by far the better team in the second half and brought on Zouma who won all the headers and prevented Hull putting any pressure on us. But by all means have a moan about us taking a HUGE stride towards the title today.

Changed our pressing at HT and it worked wonders as we were so much better in the second half. Zouma sub was also spot on. He won all the first balls in the air that Matic was losing in the first half and prevented Hull from putting any pressure on us.

HUGE win. Not just for the points but for the morale and belief of the players. GET IN!

Jose subs. Which have worked today. Not that anyone will give him credit.

No, #10. Oscar on the wing.

Yeah. Both would bring on the only striker we have on the bench for the injured striker on the pitch. Cowards! Managers of 'proper football' like Pep would push the RB up as a false nine and throw in the reserve keeper in his place!

Nah, Zouma in midfield and Cesc pushed forward.

Cuadrado celebrating that he will not be featuring today

OMG T-BO has more than made up for the mistake today. But what the FUCK is Luis doing there?!

Or, god forbid, change the taker!

If we continue playing like this we will score.

Hah! You ALL have been crying for Luis for ages. Well he was second best to the ball in the first goal. And what does Thibaut's mistake has to do with the selection? Players are bottling it. Simple as.

Go ahead. Someone blame Jose for those amateurish mistakes....

My goodness what a couple of finishes!

Credit to diego who did brilliantly to win the ball to Hazard there. And what a finish!

So how can you say that is is impossible for Ramires to be a better option? It's always tough to move in January when the team is already settled, especially to a top team where the stakes are higher. He doesn't need to score or assist to get a start, but he needs to have a good performance and bring a positive change to the team which he has failed to do in all of his starts and sub appearances so far.

You see how you are exaggerating again or do I have to use another series of sarcastic questions? Ramires has had many better performances for us on the wing than Cuadrado has. I'm all for giving Juan chances, but 1) this is not a match for chances given our last 2 results. 2) I think he should get starts when he starts influencing the game off the bench not after he just had a bad sub performance.

This is also a player who has moved to a new team and league less than two months ago and has yet to show anything special or even that he is adjusting well to the move.

But hasn't everyone for a whole week been saying how this is a must win match? If Jose had taken a chance and it did not work out, some on here would probably be breaking into his house tonight... I think when he has a real impact off the bench, then he should start the following match. But why should he be awarded for a pretty bad sub performance?

He is if we want to press high up the pitch. He also gives us more dynamism because he can switch positions (and cover) for all of Willian, Cesc and Matic. Cuadrado is of course better in the final third in passing creativity and scoring. Different options.

So we won League cup and are leading the table with awful players?! Either our manager is a miracle worker or everyone else in England is beyond awful!
