Mancini has an awful record in Europa. His Inter team played some awful football, they won the italian title only because of the brillance of some players. Manchester City has the same problem that the Inter Team he coached, some boring and awful football save by brilliant players.

I disagree. Last year there were games where he was not much involved, like his mind wasn't on the pitch. http://www.fulhamchronicle.co.uk/london-chelsea-fc/2013/05/13/82029-33324847/ I agree more with this article and interview where he said he had more consistency this year (especially in the second half with Benitez in my opinion). For me this year is like his first real year in his career, At Lille he wasn't challenged enough and there wasn't players with experience at the highest level. There are many actions he did succesfully with Mata and Oscar this year that would have failed at Lille because of the shortcomings of some players and Beria and Debuchy were frustrating playing like wingers so high up the pitch to no avail.

He could be on the bench, coming in the last 15 minutes of the match or in overtime.

He has one uncle who was a professionnal dancer (ballet) http://www1.lameuse.be/regions/centre/2009-08-17/brainois-olivier-hazard-expatrie-aix-721267.shtml

I like this youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoE_of_pi7s The actions I prefer is when he fix defenders and release the ball to a player running behind him and the defender that is draw to him.

I think so. But I think he has played games with minor injuries before. Watching Lilles, I was often annoyed by the fact he was playing every game, nearly every minutes while on some occasions it was obvious he was bothered by some problems and was limping a bit by moments.

Yes or take another touch to be more balanced as he had lost his balance.

I wonder what time ramires would do in a 400 meters race. Must be impressive with his pace and stamina.

---------------------------------------Cech------------------------------------------------------------------ ------Azpi(seems like he's never tired)-----Terry----------Luiz-------------Bertrand if fit--------- --------------------------------Ake----------------------Lampard--------------------------------------- ------------Moses------------------------Oscar-------------------------------Benayoun-------------- ----------------------------------------Ba---------------------------------------- Ramires, Hazard, Mata to come from the bench if needed in the second half. Their midfield is not very good and not very pacey, whe should be capable to pass the ball around them quite easily.

Has someone the gif of the first goal of spurs. I don't understand why Cech was so far of his line on the Adebayor strike, it seems to me there was not dangerous run that could beat the other defenders.

I disagree. I think like Hazard, he was playing with some knocks and bruises and he wasn't the only one slipping, there was countless times where players were losing their footing when trying to change direction quickly.

Like Gilles Smith said in his columm, perhaps not a good idea to wet the pitch at half time. On the left side, I saw three occasions when the players were hampered with their footing, Hazard miss where he slipped, Ramires tripping himself, and Mata completely missing a cross on the left side.

I could see why Mourinho would go to Manchester. United have the fa, the media and the referees in their pocket, he could get away with whatever poor antics like Ferguson does. Jorge Mendes connection + big us financial people, I would hate Manchester United even more.

I don't know what to think about it. Like some members, I fear the Jorge Mendes connection. I hope we don't tranfer too much players that have Jorge Mendes as an agent.

To be fair, When i saw the actions between the two players, I was worried that Luiz would have been sent off, Raphael was so stupid to kick him, Luiz was playing too much with his arms up in the air.

Azpi was our best player.

If we can hold the score. We win against Tottenham and we are in the champion's league with our massive goal difference advantage over them.

Like I said, I like this linewoman.

I like this linewoman, she seems to always make the right call on the matches I've seen.

Howard Webb joking with Lindegaard. Easy for Manchester United to be champions of England, when they have 15 points each season with referee decisions.

Have we got a midfielder in the bench. Nathan ake?

Mata seems burned-out.

Lampard or Luiz to score I think.

Howard Webb not giving the flagrant foul on Luiz pfff

Mata likes to go in the space that players leave when closing on Hazard. Hazard is like a center in rugby that tries to perfore the line and if it's not the case, draw defenders away from their opponents when he drives with the ball.
