Obviously not their fault, it was someone else

[Special Juan 27,104]

Everton have been shite here and as for Robles...his anticipation has been truly awful.

That is one of the worse footwork I have seen the from a gk. His footwork is so bad. He should have been able to save at least origi and Mane goals

He came running out for the Origi goal, there was no need what so ever to do that. As for the Coutinho goal he followed the ball and did not anticipate it coming through the legs, really bad game and bad decisions made by him today.

Never thought i would say this, but Arsenal please beat City or at least draw

[samzilla 517]

well so far this weekend of football has all gone tits up...city winning, tottenham won...and we lost at the bridge to freakin' palace...

[kmk108 1,186]

No fight. No heart. Arsenal have loads of talent, but my god, it's laughable how they have absolutely no nerve. 

[Laylabelle 9,300]

I never want Arsenal to win and then they do this!! 

Saying that 2-2!

[Fernando 6,376]

Arsenal usually turn superhuman around this time to make it to the CL. 

So I was kind of expecting that Arsenal was going to turn up. They can still lose, but at least they showed some kind of fight as they always do for the 4th spot. 

[Ledg 639]

Happy with the draw after yesterday's result.

Confident that we can beat City on Wednesday. After all these months, Guardiola haven't figured out the defence yet.

[lucio 5,399]

Would be confident if costa had motivation/ talent

[Johnnyeye 7,415]

Fark yeah, thank you Arsenal  , but seriously now we have to beat City, we simply can´t afford more mistakes like the one against Palace with Spurs right on our tails, we have to show why we want to be champions, cant rest or get complancent. Cheers

Costa need to farking step up, he was awful against Palace and should have at least got us a point, reminnds when he could have scored the winner at Anfield weeks back with that penalty, he´s frustrating to watch at times, can be brilliant on his day but a pain to watch when he´s playing like yesterday, he needs a kick up his arse.

[Fernando 6,376]

Arsène Wenger pleased Guardiola views top-four finish like winning a trophy

[LAB 1,030]

He also basically said to Alexis he in not a professional if he thinks about moving before his contract expires, which is technically true but sounds like a desperate man's line. This happens all the time in football

[Special Juan 27,104]

You can see lots of what we had in how United are playing now....Not much idea going forward, long balls and square and sideways vision.

Mourinho and United are stale...very stale.
