Firmino is not consistent enough to be relied upon... world beater in one game and poor display in the next 3 games

Solanke definitely should be ahead of sturridge

We really miss this type of player who is a pain to defense, who makes borderline foul or as Carra called player with "streetwise".

Despite their discipline, they still committed deadly mistake which any decent team would have converted, but not us

Well, I was hoping for his famous back pass but looking at our attack last nite, its unlikely we will benefit from it. Rafa strategy is based on counter attack with accurate pass from Shelvey. It can be effective if you have that kind of player (used to be SG). But at the moment we don't employ such tactic and we don't have the right player to do it.

So is it a yellow or not...🤔

It is funny when a manager comment that he did not win because the opponent manager did not allow him to. You should adapt, improvise, make impactful changes, that is if you really want 3 points. Or else, just say it upfront we wanted one point, and we got what we came for.....

Yes there is contact coz you can see the impact from the replay. But very hard to tell it is intentional or not...

But again.... if Lukaku was shown yellow from his tackle on Gomez, he might tried to be mare careful...

Well I read someone argued that Mourinho took same pragmatic approach last season, but look where they finished...

Anyway we all expected this approach before the match, even King Kenny said it that he expected Mou to play defensive. Only the media and maybe their fans overhyped it and suggested something like a high scoreline etc. which to me somehow justified given their current form

Haha very effective indeed

So can we rest hendo

Yeah credit to Huddersfield. United played poor and paid the price.

What is this hype about Harry Winks..? Watching highlights against Real, he was decent. Let's see if the hype is true...

I think not having a proper replacement for Sakho is what haunting him

to be fair the ball was going towards him, not away from him. or else it will be unreachable.

exactly, not a risk taker I guess

I was hoping Solanke would come in. At least he will not be easily bullied.

Not many ref will give it...

Shitty quality all over the pitch... I trust Matip more to bring the ball fwd than all our midfield. Cant believe that we bought a defender of klavan quality. It's like we haven't replaced lovren at all.

Naby kieta will be questioning his decision to join us with this kind of performance.

How come Harry kane recovered so fast from hamstring. . . 🤔

Thanks for the update. Not able to watch this weekend

Welcome... 😂

Haha I guess he made it clear he is against it

- we were not clinical enough in front of goal in first half. Our fwds performance not yet reach the consistency level required to challenge for title, well except Salah

- Salah showed how it should be done in front of goal yet again, making him the first in the starting line up, even more important than cout at the moment. He was also initially not consistent enough, but he adapted and improved very quick.

- peiters (stoke) was not really tested in the first half. But once we subbed Salah, he was given real lesson and collapsed

- few decision went in our favour, which would I say it's about time we get that kind of decision.

- I didn't know Ox had that anger in him.

- emre Can another case of player not consistent enough, and keep making wrong decision.

- our left side was caught in wrong position, 1 or 2 occasions.

- all in all, we had luck in our favour, stoke had zero luck.

So Robertson play in mid, and Gini defense instead?
