Is Scott Parker actually a good manager? I feel like he's doing pretty great with them this season, but I don't really know much about how he is tactically or anything.

 

Llorente is a fucking brilliant footballer. So good, and that run and finish from Suarez... 1-0, fuck yes.

 

Side note, it took seven minutes and twenty seconds for Real to get a touch past the half way line. Mad.

 

Areola has done everything right this second half. Please don't be famous last words.

 

The whole team have been fantastic tbf. Not put a foot wrong for as much as I've watched.

 

Andersen is absolutely immense.

 

We're finishing 10th this season. This is now a year of being about the 8th or 9th best team overall and three months of being roughly 18th. You don't suddenly turn around a run like this. Not a chance of getting top four and I think Europe's unlikely.

 

Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool finishing some combination of 8th, 9th and 10th lol

 

a penalty inside a minute

 

Absolutely foolish by Jesus. Good lord.

 

Oles mindgames have worked lmao

 

love seeing Jesus trying to defend. what a muppet.

 

Looks like we are still asleep. What a shit start.

 

City look miles better than us now. Only a matter of time until they get a really good chance.

 

I'd just like to say I tried to put £5 in United at 6/1 before the game, but the fucking betting app had locked my account cause I hadn't used it recently.

Going to be low key fuming if we win.

 

holy shit SHAW! 2-0

 

What a throw from Hendo too. De Gea wouldn't have attempted that.

 

I'm surprised Guardiola puts up with Jesus. He's a talented player but his decision making - when to take one touch or two, when to play the pass or shoot - leaves a lot to be desired.

 

I've never thought he was all that. decent goalscorer, but not a great player.

 

Yeah he's an odd one. He's never seemed like a Guardiola player to me.

 

The amount of times we're 4 on 4 attacking and manage to make the wrong decision, christ

 

If you ever need any proof of that boxing cliché "styles make fights", it's Solksjaer's record against Guardiola.

 

Martial would be great in the Bundesliga.

 

hilarious henderson kicking it out and Greenwood not coming on.

Ole and Pep's argument was funnier with Greenwood standing in the background looking like a deer in headlights.

 

He finally convinced me he was going to be a great player last year, then he’s been utter shite all season. This is probably his first great game all season. He would be lethal in a team that gets more space up front.
