I think the media focussing on the 4-0 Bournemouth debacle and the City revenge thrashing has actually helped us. When we play with confidence, this team are World beaters. I don't buy into this disaster scenario that is being portrayed. OK Sarri has 5 wins in the Europa League, 2 in the FA Cup (against lower league opposition), 4 in the league cup (1 of which was against lower league opposition) - That's 40% of his wins and his league record is 58%... but it would be good to give him to the end of the season imo. 

Well...I agree with your sentiment. There is no need to be needlessly depressed.

But on the topic of confidence...I feel that this team has an ON-OFF switch when it comes to that. And I fear that Sarri has no control of it.

Tbh thats big thanks to our europa run and cup games so far where we got many wins against small opponents. 

As for tonights game, I wont complain, we won. But Im not going to get optimistic either, it was only malmo.

Martial and Lingard will miss the match against us. Better make it count because except City there is no other good team left.

Does anyone really care about the FA Cup? Top non-British footballers we could try to poach certainly don't. CL football next season or we're fucked.

Sarri says we need to cut out our mistakes 

Probably this song is on repeat in the dresser.

 

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Probably a good thing we didn't make it to the Champions league this season playing way we are. We'd either crash out the group back into Europa anyway or first out...

Theres teams in this comp that may run ragged over us.. Still not in the pot yet.

Solid result considering the despair of confidence recently.  

Never enjoyed eurotrash Abba , IKEA meatballs , pacifist cowardice,  liberal idealism,  Volvo and jumping in ice water , talking to trees , Eating berries,  wearing large pants , beer only for the rich , small heads, backwater blues.

everyone to their own.

You know things are bad when we win a game but can hardly enjoy it and know the next disaster is just around the corner...

in 2012/13 we also started the knock out stages by a 1 goal victory away from home. Back then here in Prague.

It's happening!!!

Let's not lose sight of the possibility he was rested for United. 

Slim chance. But still a possibility.

If he can start Spurs away, hardly implausible to accept the possibility he starts against United at home.

Rested? Rested from what? 

It's nigh impossible to defend Sarri's decisions at this point. I've been patient with him and still am, but fuck... rested, while the turds on legs get run to the ground?

I'm giving Sarri the benefit of the doubt on this one. 

Even he doesn't start CHO Monday, fully on board with the criticism.

Another thing. We didn't sell Zappacosta, he was travelling (I think) and he is still under contractual obligation to work for the club... then why the fuck is Azpi still playing every game and every minute? Fuck's sake! I'm not surprised his level has gone down, he is like the most played outfield player in the last 5 years or so. Squad management has been horrible.
