Costaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! Let's get the winn naaaooooooooo

Arrgghhhh why didn't hazard take the shoooooottttt!!!

What the hell is wrong with our finishing. Haaaiiihhhhhh

How is that tackle not a foul on hazard....what rubbish officiating

Can't believe we didn't put this game to bed. I think our gameplay lacked intensity and better finishing.

That was a clear foul on cahill and it cost us. Worryingly JT looks set for a spell on the sidelines and zouma isn't fully fit yet. Oh well. Looks like a baptism of fire for luiz vs liverpool.

Paul parker and that moronic pundit on astro taking potshots at us for 'going down' too easy and the ref missing that foul on 'purpose.' probably still sore after city give them a footballing lesson at old trafford

Credit where its due mate. This is one of those few games where he actually looked better than azpi. Sounds crazy right? But that's what happened. I think the latter looked leggy and was beaten by his man for too easily.

Most importantly,Iva's cross was what lead to our opening goal when it caused havoc in their box,and his powerful shot lead to our equaliser! Very good game by the serbian today,imo.

I actually disagreed with the oscar sub. Willian off should've probably happened earlier though. Matic off is understandable as well. Dropped points but perhaps a good kick up our arses before the liverpool match. Would love to see fab starting.

Perhaps Iva in for JT in the middle and alonso going to the left, with azpi on his natural side?

Haha oh well. He was blameless in today's game and contributed a lot going forward. However conte now needs to decide whether he gambles with alonso or luiz in the next game. I have a slight preference for alonso seeing how brana is no stranger playing as a CB, but then again luiz and his speed is a much more vital characteristic to possess vs liverpool and he's no stranger to that position either

Ahhh I just keep remembering hazard's saved one on one as well as diego's missed tap in. Haih. Just had to make it harder for ourselves.

Good find,didn't know he beat aguero and suarez to that milestone! Superb finisher when he's in the mood

I just have a feeling atletico's persistence to bring him 'home' will eventually bear fruit,but that transfer ban they just got slapped with is a blessing in disguise which ensures he'll stay put for awhile yet

Excited but a bit nervous for this one. Did anyone catch their game vs leicester?their combination play in attack can even challenge city's slickness in possession. However leicester had their chances to reduce the deficit but couldn't take them.

Can't wait to see conte's approach to this match. We need that first goal,and I don't want us parking the bus either. Special attention is needed for coutinho,sturridge and firminho. Costa must focus and not get a booking for a change. A high octane match can easily influence the ref to dish out those cards

Haha now that would be a sight to behold. Players exhausted and just taking it easy in the second half. Crowd will be on their backs in no time

Slightly concerned about how we're going to deal with their insane pressing. I actually don't mind if we just hit it long every once in awhile if there's an opening. However we'll probably need fabregas for that and judging by how conte's used him so far,I'd be shocked if he starts. Would be nice to spring a surprise though

Naughty Iva. That's unnecessary.

Let's just focus on our play shall we?haih

Mmm...what happened to the defense?

Luiz's nose looks pretty bad. But what's more concerning is our lackluster play. 23 minutes in and we've done nothing in their half. Not a good sign.

Poor clearance. Poor positioning from tibo who can't save anything these days. Begovic anyone?

Good goal no doubt. But de gea saves that. Neuer saves that,period. World class keepers save that.simple as.

And can we please get willian off setpiece duty???!!!!!bloody hell. Getting fab in just for his corners would be worth it imo.

Still no changes. Is conte waiting for the third?

Agree with the general consensus. Willian needs to come off.

MATIC FRIGGIN BRILLIANT RUN!!!!!!!!!!!
Diegoaaaaaaaallllllllll finishes it!!!!!game oooonnnnnn

That pass from matic had to he lofted into costa as well or it would've been intercepted.

Arrgghhhh costa should've finished thaaattt
