I can't believe Roma went on such a collapse. I Ashley Cole's flank was used time and time again by the ruthless robben. This is what happens when you are naive enough to try to attack a team like bayern without proper defensive security, It was a massacre!!

Fantastic technically

When last did I see our leftback beat his marker and cross superbly like last night

Scratch off any CM signing. Ake looks the business. Fantastic passing ability

He seems to have taken the right wing for himself. He's no longer an attacking liability. Well done.

I know its a little early to judge, but its not looking good so far.

We have 3 injury prone strikers

We need to score 3 goals again. Not expecting that without our full strength team though

Exactly. What happened with the contract news it's been under the radar.

Glad to see appreciation for ronaldo here. It's so easy for people to forget ronaldo was a 3 times world best player. That injury problems he had was a career killer and the cause of why so many fickle fans have forgotten how good he was.

Torres >>> balloteli

Should have had even more games, he was the best chance in a while of bringing someone through from our academy and we didn't. It wasn't under straight forward circumstances but it'll be a while before we get that opportunity again.

People were shouting up and down about their defense, it's bad but its still good enough for a top four finish especially if the attack can outscore their problems like Liverpool did last season. They got dimaria who has provided the creative spark by dribbling, vision or scoring which was what was truly missing from their attack in the early part of the season.

I said they would get top four before due to that dimaria signing, and it's been looking that way so far. They have all the advantages Liverpool had last season. A week rest before every match, vangaal has so much time to prepare tactics against opponents, their attack is good and Liverpool, Everton and arsenal have been below par so far.

Sterling keeps proving doubters wrong. He's very good for his age (just 19 ) . The last English talent that I saw with his level of potential was rooney.

He's one player I regret didn't play much. I always thought he was good enough to get proper game time for us.

Did well in the second half. Decided to make quick turns around defenders as the ball came to him and it payed off.

The only thing CR7 had over ronaldo is heading ability. If you watched ronaldo closely you won't say this publicly to anyone that started watching football from 1994. By the time ronaldo got to Madrid, injuries had finished him and he wasn't the same again, that's why I said "injury free ronaldo" is better.

An injury free brazilian Ronaldo is better than cronaldo and on par with Messi.

Hopefully it'll be enough. I just felt if that freekick didnt go in, it would have been more difficult than we thought considering the lack of chances in the first half. The red cards worked in our favor. At least we won.

Maybe it was down to international football, but we created very little in that first half. Hazard was fouled constantly like against astonvilla so his influence was reduced because of it. We got better in the second half, but I gave that analysis at halftime. Remy started making smart turns after the break instead of trying to hold up play like costa does, but I can't really judge because it was 10 vs 10 at that point with more space for the teams.

Over the line.

Wish we killed this game off

You miss what I say. I'm saying we play better overall with his presence, movement and how the defenders have to get close to him

Exactly, he hasn't been allowed a moment to breathe
