Yes Luke, the Everton result has kick started your season hasn't it? I also cannot see you losing any time soon.
I missed that fixture, I saw Crystal Palace as the next match. It's the derby so anything can happen.
Lyon were 2-0 up against ten-man Hoffenheim with 25 minutes to go, and ended up drawing 2-2 I'd say that means NDombele has the required experience to play for us...
City only scored one against us and we're not playing too badly. Their scoring before was 5,3,5,3 and since they've had a 6 and a 6. They're scoring well against lower teams but it remains to be seen how they do against the top teams as we ran them very close and could have taken a point so a spanking isn't necessarily on the cards.
Juventus have no-one to blame but themselves for losing that. After Ronaldo scored, they had a plethora of opportunities to put the game to bed (Pjanic, Dybala, Cuadrado) and eventually when United went for it, they just switched off. Cracking free-kick from Mata, but the foul on Pogba (can't remember if it was Matuidi or Alex Sandro) was stupid to begin with as Pogba wasn't going anywhere. Why scythe him down on the edge of the box when he had his back to goal? Szczesny showed he's still got some traits of Wenger-itus left in him. Didn't cover himself in glory with the winner. Juve will be scratching their heads as to how they lost a game they looked completely in control of. But you have to give credit to Mourinho, the Mata and Fellaini subs ended up changing the game.
You have to hand it to Mourinho. As odious and classless as he is, just when you think the chips are down, right when you think he's dead and buried, he somehow manages to pull off masterclass results from out of nowhere to save his own backside. It happens far too often for it to be luck. He just doesn't know when to quit. That is a quality you have to commend him for, if nothing else.
I'm sure Giorgio Chiellini's Twitter is currently getting swamped by Spurs fans asking him about his winners' mentality...
Sterling will be probably be missing on Sunday. I'm sure Hollywood will be calling given his flair for slapstick comedy. Nobody has ever shown such aptitude for theatrical falling over since the days of The Keystone Cops.
Strange game football. Juventus had the luck against us last season. A case of what comes around comes around.What a crappy goal to win it and in Fergie time too!....and it had to bounce off 3 defenders heads to enter the net.
