    Happy with the first half. We've been excellent and their goalie has saved them. Just lacked a cutting edge in the final third.

    Just keep doing more of the same in the 2nd half <ok>

    Martial and Rooney make it 1-0

    That was wonderfully crafted. Great finish.

    Thought we've played really well today so far, especially first half. Not sure how Ibra hasn't managed to score yet.

    Yeh I'm more than happy with the performance. Their goalie has stopped Ibrah having an early birthday present.

    Nah, it took a deflection. It was Blind's **** up, not the first time this season either <doh>

    Surely a goalkeeper of his calibre should at the very least be putting it out for a corner. Was very sluggish of him.

    Not a big enough deflection to stop De Gea just clearing it. First rule of goalkeeping - if the ball is deflected don't take any chances and try to catch it, just get it to safety. Should have conceded the corner instead of trying to grab it.

    Well, Mourinho wanted to break records. Already our first manager to lose at home to Watford in 50 odd years, now the first manager to let Stoke have a point at OT since 1980 <ok>

    It wrong footed him and it was just enough to affect his balance.

    Which stops him catching the ball and making a clean save. Doesn't stop him getting something on it and beating it away.

    De Gea can stop shots and clear the ball from point blank range. A deflection around the penalty spot shouldn't stop him doing the same with that one. He made the mistake of still trying to catch it despite the deflection.

    Bollox to the result but it was just one of those days. Could've easily won by 4 or 5.
