Doesn't really matter when you can't defend even if your life was depending on it. Same story as Moreno really.
Two players I have in my fantasy team
Nice to see £47.5m worth of defensive positioning in action on Sunderland's goal.
These tactics City are playing seem like they will cost them against better teams.
Can work with a team like Bayern but City's players aren't all that good.

Pretty impressive eh. Joint tenth top scorer with RvP too now (144 goals)Scored in 16 different seasons now
Mahrez is insanely good.
Said it before, will say it again, Lloris is Joe Hart standard. Better with his feet and playing as a sweeper, but aside from that, I don't think he does much else better.
Nice fall there from Rose
I forgot about Sean Dyche's voice
Gary's birthday present to Shearer
He actually had a pretty poor game today. Misplaced passes everywhere; looked to me like he was trying too hard whenever he was on it and then faded as the game went on.
Crystal Palace's top scorer last season scored 5 goals. Crazy.
He doesn't even sound like him.
It started off alright but he was almost Australian by the end ffs.
Why is Alec Baldwin managing Watford?
Balls. Lloris has great reactions. Not DDG but tier below, which is no shame.
I've said this for a while too. Never been convinced by Lloris. Makes too many mistakes, and a diverse range of them, to be rated at the top. Think similar of Courtois, less mistake prone but not a spectacular keeper for Chelsea. de Gea is in a league of his own in the Prem, followed by Cech, then a drop down into a group of very good but not world class keepers like Lloris, Hart and Courtois.
Speaking of goalies, I was surprised Mandanda wasnt between the sticks for Palace today. Pretty high profile name, I had assumed he would be taking the #1 spot.
I tend to agree, though I think Courtois is better than Lloris and Hart and at least level with Cech.
I think Courtois is better than some people on here think. It's unfair to say he's at the level of Lloris and Hart after coming off such a disastrous season with Chelsea.
He was great when he played for Atletico and he always perfoms when playing with the Belgian NT. I'd say, as saivet stated, he's at level with or slightly better than Cech. Dave is the best though.
Saw the start but then stuck the Olympics on. Did he do the whole show in those shorts?
Nah just for the first analysis.... Dressed after that "had enough he said"
Jonathan Pearce, Danny Murphy and Jermaine Jenas all thought Rooney was "superb".
I don't understand what game some of these pundits are watching at times.

I was just about to post the same, fecking idiots.
Just posted in a Rooney thread about this. It is crazy, he was probably our worst player but yet according to Danny Murphy he was superb
.Colleen's Xmas list
They talk about Zlatan and Rooney together as if they're in the same leagueJust posted in a Rooney thread about this. It is crazy, he was probably our worst player but yet according to Danny Murphy he was superb
It's laughable really.
^lmao was channel hopping, heard that and came in just to say the same thing.
Twats..they get paid for this shite
Rooney didn't put a foot wrong in those highlights. In fact it made him look like he had a decent game. Anyone who didn't actually watch the game will now be inking Rooney actually played well on the back of that.
It's also worth noting that Danny Murphy thinks it's an exciting time for Liverpool and they looked like contenders today. Im guessing they were ignoring the fact that Arsenal were shite and Liverpool still managed to concede 3 bloody goals. Liverpool are going to struggle against any team with a half decent defence and it's going to be hilarious.
With that being said, they were also quite complimentary of us to be fair though.

Perhaps the only way to get an honest analysis would be to do with punditry what's been done to the rest of the game: bring in foreign talent.
Get some Italian, German and Spanish ex-pros on who've never played football (or golf) with the players they're pronouncing judgement on. If they don't speak English and you have to subtitle them so much the better.
I told you Rooney's the most protected player in the media. Expect a media generated shitstorm if he ever gets dropped.
Jonathan Pearce had a nightmare.
''Mata is most likely to lose through Pogba's arrival'' - wrong to the point where he displays a fundamental lack of understanding of football to a worrying degree
''Good to see Luke Shaw back after his cruciate ligament injury'' - wrong
''Rooney played really well today'' - wow

I think the Shaw one was actually about Wilson, who did his ACL, wasn't it? It was right after his chance when Shaw messed up the touch in the box, I think.
