Sir Mikel OBE

I see this too. Very Very dangerous game, especially after the last way we ended a premier match.

Even if he were messi or Ronaldo that number is unacceptable. Should have been yanked before it got to that point though.

I'd start him for villa this weekend. Allow iva and azpilicueta to have the midweek pairing. and rest azpi this weekend

If he stays hot no way they give him to New York this season.

Cant do anything when schurrle shoots every time he gets near the box.

well...no baker or christensen

Oscar!!!

Nice shot by Ake.

Terrible marking there.

Zouma goal! First time I seen him since they have not attacked us at all.

Where did all these Oscar back heels come from?

Luis has to be the best Crosser in this side. Amazing chance for remy.

He always looks when he has time. This is Nigeria level mikel we are seeing. Expect to see him dominate at the ACON in January again too.

This is good football from Oscar and Salah.

Selfish shot by schurrle. Hate when he does that.

That was a questionable move when it happened. Manchester were already being overrun in the midfield, and he removes a pacy player for someone like Mata....a disaster waiting to happen.

This is good. Should not be playing these level of matches anyway. Should focus on getting rest for the Sporting/Arsenal week.

This is ridiculous now. His club will be in preseason at this point why wouldnt he go be with them? Even if he does not need the workouts it would be good to at least try to build up some chemistry with them. That is judas level more than the goal.

That is what 32 million will get you in the market it seems.

23, and he looks to be the real deal. Strength pace Positional awareness He could turn into the best Centreback in this league if this wasn't just a one off.

The side is shit if playing more open against 10 men city would have led to a massacre though. I'm sorry but playing on the counter and conceding possession like that against 10 men is unacceptable with the talent we had out there.We literally begged them to score, and mercifully the Brentwood alumnus obliged us.

To be honest I think Ramires was brilliant from the start today. Made a lot of great runs behind their back line which was not spotted, very disciplined in tracking his men, and a great clearance which surely saved us from a goal.

Was it the defense fault we could not hold on to the ball when they went down to 10 men?

He needs to play now. This has sickened me to my stomach. The fact that we have a true threat just riding the bench while we play a 36 year old twice this week makes no sense to me. What was Remy bought for?

The same defense which shut down Manchester City at home for the better part of 90 minutes? The defense was fine. Schurrle shat the bed and shit happened. We had a lot of problems today, but the defense was not one.
