Yes but also in the first 20-30 minutes, we played some amazing stuff going forward. But everyone has been talking about the defensive blunders from both sides.

Such a shame that we had that horrendous 15 minutes in the first half. All the good things we did have been overshadowed by that defensive meltdown.

Wish someone would just grill him further on his future/contract situation. Since he said he's happy here, then why hasn't he signed the contract? Guess the answer would be obvious but would be nice if someone forced an answer out of him, just to hear exactly what he has to say.

Ferdinand said on BT Sport yesterday that United are better than us...

Ozil makes Fabregas look like a great player!

No clue. But German clubs usually don't put release clause in a player's contract, do they?

But but Stewart Robson said Jorginho only passes sideways and backwards...

Lampard's Derby have gone downhill a bit since the opening Championship game. Back-to-back losses after that late win at Reading.

Hazard should have probably scored that and that chance in the final minute of the game!

Think he's taking English lessons right now but he used to work as a banker in London.

Here's something interesting/uninteresting...

Still eyeing the Madrid move then? Certainly has the feel like he's forced to stay for at least another season, though part of it is his fault.

Has Hazard hired someone to handle his social media accounts? Seems a tad more active with updates these days. On a side note, good to see Hazard is on free kick duties under Sarri! Can't believe it's taken this long for it to happen.

Well if you put it that way, then I guess yeah.

To be fair, it's only 35 million but can see where you're coming from.

"We need to continue to press, press & press in the other half." A refreshing change to say the least.

Agree but although the responsibility isn't just on him, he has to be more aware in that aspect if Sarri's gonna continue playing him in that deep lying role.
