For those with 625 colour TV -

 

It seems Valencia has to undergo surgery for an arm fracture so this is Darmian's chance to impress.

 

Only a very disappointing 80% possession so far ......................

 

We've been brilliant so far. Just need the goal our performance deserves #nojinx

How good is Mata seriously! Oozes class.

 

Treb, why are you a nazi fan boy?

 

Awful finishing so far. Should be winning easily.

 

GK Heaton is having the game of his life

 

Pen (may have been outside so could've been free kick) not awarded lol but hey ho. We really should break them down in the second half. Some more clinical finishing required.

 

Just seen Aguero's goals. They were class tbf. He's certainly sticking two fingers up to Pep

 

Not his fanboy but I quite like Pete tbf. He's got that gormless, dumb animal look that's slightly endearing.

 

At crucial times we take too many touches on the ball. Especially in the final third, when receiving the ball around the box. That fraction of a second, or extra touch allows defenders to get their bearings. Just not sharp enough.

 

And Ibrah's first touch has been piss poor today.

 

How many saves

 

Is Martial injured, he's not even on the bench to bring on. Take Ibrah off, bring on Rooney.

 

I think we need to get players into their box in numbers. There are times we have the ball on the edge and there's only 1 or 2 red shirts in there.

 

looking like Stoke Part II, bigger and better.
