Magic Lamps

Was not that bad even though clearly lacking sharpness. The way he assisted hazards glorious chance was brilliant movement. Also he got 3 city players booked which under a competent referee might have led to a sending off.

The thing is, we already knew he was shite in big games. he proved that about 100 times at Arsenal and Barcelona. He was bought as a flat track bully, so he should fucking be played as such. On the other hand leaving him out in a big game would mean playing ramires and/or mikel. so yeah we definitely need a midfielder.

that is the point. we did not walk the league 3 months ago. we scrambled over the finish line by sheer luck and individual brilliance. that was the time we should have thought about reinforcements.

Honestly, he can't be any worse defensively than Ivanovic, who he is ideally replacing. Also where is the point of playing ivanovic for his aerial ability and strength when he can't even unbalance Kompany in order to prevent him from scoring? welcome to the sinking ship baba.

yeah has worked brilliantly so far. If this is the only reason to play Fabregas in a big game, I propse hazard also starts practising set pieces.

we thoroughly missed him.

err. because we played a high line in the second half for which jt does not have the pace.

we will see. might be too late. everyone on here knew we were too shite to mount a title challenge in preseason already. Just the board/mourinho did not.

the writing has been on the wall for half a year now. But still no signings, no direction. I can't belive how anyone could make us title favourites.

well, at least cuadrado has been decent since coming on.

we are getting humiliated here. this is not funny. we have tried our best in the 2nd half but we are just a league below city this season.

ivanovic ffs. yes kompany is strong, but you could at least unbalance him.

Congratulations to the Premier league title, city.

where there is demichelis there is hope

the ref is absolutely abysmal today. almost get every 50-50 situation wrong

you are fucking 7 yards out. fucking blast it.

hazard has to score there

bah...brendon is there. and he looks like he just came from a gothic convention

cuadrado for ramires...well that is an awkward one. rather have brought on remy.

so us vs a parked bus. this is a scenario that should suit fabregas. wish we had oscar now.

obviously mourinho has shifted to a high line with zouma on. bold move.

this second half shows what difference sharp offensive movement off the ball does. we still look nowhere like scoring but at least we fail better.

city players are so dirty. even silva. about his 7th foul. the ref is way too lenient with them.

not even close to offside. clearly on the same line as sagna. legit goal. linesman a fucking twat.

fabregas is about the worst defender ever.
