    Spurs need to press the scousers just as much as they pressed us last night, the Liverpool back four is a laughing stock, if Spurs can sweep aside a team who had conceded 0 goals in their previous 6 games then it should be a field day for Kane and Co at Anfield.

    Mourinho will continue to believe Pogba is a holding midfielder to accommodate Lingard, Sanchez, Martial and Pookaku and that's why he will have to explain all the money questions after the season is finished and Pep will avoid anything like that despite spending 7 Trillion on just his defence.

    We have a tendency to smash spurs...

    Although they wised up last time and didn't attempt to go toe 2 toe with us.

    Should be s cracking game that could easily go either way...hard one to predict.

    Just a shame we don't actually have a keeper. We just have 2 blokes that are tall and wear gloves.

    United were completely dire last night.

    Ok they had the worst possible start, but never looked like getting into the game. What Jones was thinking for that hideous OG only he knows ffs.

    What was the story with Fellaini? An odd decision even by Mourinho’s standards, he looked like he’d lost the ****ing plot when he made that call.

    Chelsea unravelled, albeit I’ve not seen it yet, which makes the RS / Spurs face off a very interesting weekend fixture.

    The fellaini subs were bizarre. Jose literally losing the plot live on TV. Funny though.

    If Fellaini wasn't injured, and he didn't look it, surely he's kicked his last ball and elbowed his last opposing player for us?

    How do you come back from that?

    In doing it Mourinho just wasted a substitution so Rashford didn't get the chance to come on. I really don't know what the **** the whole team and manager were thinking last night. It was a bizarre performance all round.

    As an aside, BT decided not to bother showing the replay but didn't Lloris handle outside the box before Jones's goal? I thought he had and they just never bothered replaying it, which confirms to me he probably did.

    I thought he did too. Also the first goal shouldn't have counted.

    They deserved the win but both goals were very fortunate imo.

    It looked outside to me too, but as you say they never showed repeats to be absolutely sure. Not sure why they wouldn't, they love a bit of controversy.

    I can see Chelsea missing out on top 4.

    Internal meltdown is imminent

    There was really only one team in it. The only mistake we made was not burying them long before the end.

    Disallowing the first goal would be very harsh, you see players standing in the wrong half all the time. By the letter of the law he went fractionally early, but it gained no advantage, he was in position in plenty of time.

    Think you’re right, fancy you guys to be top 4, either 3rd or 4th between you and Pool and Arsenal can’t see them finishing above 6th unless Chelsea have a huge meltdown

    yeah never rated him too highly myself. He's so streaky, has periods where he's decent and some where he's ****e.

    Might suit our style though as we need a hold up man and it means our width can be used to good effect rather than having hazard up there and having all the play condensed.

    He's useful coming off the bench I suppose - ****er scored quite a few goals against us. Should have persevered with Batshuyi (sp?) imo, think there's a decent player in there.
