Bloody hell. You realise how boring we were when you see a few clips from the other games
So we need a point to qualify?
I reckon they left cos it was a fecking shite game tbh
Group stages of champions league are absolutely direI'm Liking Berba as a pundit.
Me too!
"My Lukaku shall always play"? No-one should have a god given place in the team.
Yeah I know.Good result, poor game. Glad I didn't pay 40 quid to watch that.That's ANOTHER pretty poor performance (from an attacking point of view).
Matic has been superb all season. Different class and is holding the midfield together, without characters like Fellani, Pogba and Carrick to help.
Whatever happens this season, we need to buy some attacking talent. If Bale of Griezman are free, and interested, let's just get them. Because we still are work in progress.
Defensively, I couldn't ask for much more, and Mourinho, coaching staff and the players should take great, great credit for that because it is our defence that is our strength at the moment. It's giving us a strong platform to win games.
Think you are wrong
Seen a clip on BT of him whispering into Blind's ear.
I'd deal with it. I don't see the point of leaving 7 minutes before the end of a game and possibly missing something great. In any case how much time are those people really saving? So many of them are leaving at the same time. Thats just meGood win, but not the greatest performance. Lukaku disappointing today same with Mata and Mkhitaryan. Martial played well apart from the goal and final things. Rashford fresh when he came on.
Matic solid with a nice goal. Smalling solid as normal. Bailly very sloppy .
He's quality. So laid back.I tried to teach him [at Monaco], but he didn't listen
On Martial's penalty
He said that really?I tried to teach him [at Monaco], but he didn't listen
On Martial's penalty
That pen is a Berba's signature pen if I ever see one.
Barca drew against Olympiacos and Atletico drew against Qarabag at home. Champions League can be tough, we won, but we've got to improve, especially in attack. Martial and Rashford next game?
How that crazy old fecker survived that month I’ll never know. Woody full of the Christmas cheer?
Especially the Chelsea gameBloody hell. You realise how boring we were when you see a few clips from the other games
No complaints tonight. We did what we needed to do.
On to Chelsea now.
I think we just need to avoid a heavy defeat to either Basel or CSKA. Do that and we'll be ahead on the head-to-head tiebreaker.He said that really? That pen is a Berba's signature pen if I ever see one.
Yeah during halftime
I completely agree with you. It doesn't save much time but I can understand the perception that it might.
Sad but true.Bloody hell. You realise how boring we were when you see a few clips from the other games
My Lukaku? I'm just saying that some players are always "untouchable" in Mourinhos teams. Right now it's Matic,Pogba and Lukaku who are definitely this group. They just have to play to maximise our chances to win, unless it's an insignificant enough game, or Mourinho feels the game is wrapped up, although not necessarily even then.Rashford overplayed it for the penalty, just seen it again and he didn't really look to have total control over the ball and its path. That's a difference between him and Martial who always keeps the ball close to him, albeit today his final ball was poor.Jose is not going to take being asked about the pen very well. You heard it here first
A play on LVG's oft used phrase about an under performing Rooney, "my captain shall always play".
shshsh don't tell Jose.
Oh yeah, ok. I thought you were implying I was biased towards Lukaku. But anyway, I think he will be used similarly to how Zlatan was last season.Jose said that he didn't want Lukaku to take the pen in order to protect him.
Ok that's fecking weird Jose.That's the perfect prep for Sunday's game, hardly got out of 2nd gear so the lads should all be fresh and ready to go.Amazing that we've got 9 points and haven't even qualified yet, mind. Surely a formality now.
It was Jones who was always going to be rested considering he is injury prone and just came back after slight injuryI hate you, 8/11
Thought Smalling might get the night off as he has put in a stint recently and might be saved for Chavs. Silly me, yep of course. All the excitement mus have gone to ny head last night. Even worse then!!- Status
