    Did anyone expected Lukaku not to smash it either into the wall or into the stands?
     
    Ho hum. Three points is great - it's just hard to watch another flat, somewhat disjointed performance,though, when our rivals are scoring so freely. Hopefully we'll hit our stride convincingly some time soon - there's definitely more to come.
     
    Was it by choice?

    I really want to believe that my good man. Not ready to accept the international break has turned us to shit. :D

    9 points. Another win or a couple of draws sees us winning the group. Given the way City are playing, and with all the injuries and the same players playing lot of games back to back, am thinking winning in the league is lot more important.

    As opposed to the thread packed with agenda driven posts and unfair criticism of Rashford just to elevate Martial further? You're being naive.
    Hardly. People wanting Mourinho to start Martial doesn't equate to them wishing injury on his competition or feeling any joy from it.

    No it doesn't, not for all. But to pretend there aren't posters who are happy about it is naive. In case you haven't noticed: logic isn't exactly a prerequisite to post here.

    I'll safely assume any 'fan' like that is part of an extreme minority. One or too posters coming out with nonsense shouldn't lead to generalisations like the original post I replied to. The number of Rashford haters is being exaggerated I think.
     
    He is a defender, they didnt get a sniff, he is really shit according to @Garethw

    He offered feck all going forward and was caught out a few times defensively.

    He’s a terrible fecking left back. Unfortunately he’s the best of a terrible bunch.

    Against better teams he will get ripped to shreds.

    But they exist and they post on here. That’s the point.
     
    Have to see which players we have left by then. I would be tempted to play a few kids against Swansea in the cup as we cannot afford to lose anyone else.
    Agree, think the midfield needs a bit of a rest. But it's frustrating that we suddenly look so bare in that department. Not sure how to improve it to be honest.

    Seems like we're arguing over different things. If that's your point, then I don't dispute that. I just don't believe that there are enough of them for all people that support Martial to be put in the same boat.
