Move him further forward and move Sissoko deep, that's the best way to utilise both.

Indeed, PL referees are idiots so they would have missed that 9 times out of 10. Europe is a completely different story though. Needs to cut it out from his game completely mind, there's no need to take stupid risks like that.

Horrendous mistake from him aye but fuck off with the "sell him" posts - sheer idiocy to even suggest that. Needless to say, the lad definitely needs to develop his defensive side a lot more and his mistake could have very well cost us a semi-final place but shit happens eh? Would still have him as my first choice LB. Needs to learn from tonight and quickly.

He's got away with that kind of handball quite a bit these past few seasons. Had to be punished for it tonight of all nights.

I'm not confident but it's certainly possible. Had we not gifted them two goals and had a bit more luck ourselves with Cisse's two that hit the post the scoreline could have been 3-1 to us. They were probably the better team overall but there's certainly chances to be had against them I would have been more confident about next week if we managed to get a second goal tonight. Overturning a 3-1 deficit against Benfica is a helluva a task.

2-0 win at St James' needed then... Not really confident about that at all.

Drury with an incorrect stat.

Gosling

Shola to save the day.

The linesmen this season

Ah feck off.

Horrendous goal to concede.

Anyone care to inform me how we did in the first half?

Think Mancini would run him close tbh A very valid point, he is the sole reason why City have fucked up big time this season.

Play Sissoko deep and play Marveaux in the number 10 role. Simples.

From what I know about the LFP, they will more than likely take action against Barton. Imbecile.

Not at all on my part, he's definitely disappointed me this season and I felt the need to express that... Next season is definitely make or break.

What a difference a year makes. This time last year, he was pretty much the "great silverfox" (a description I used myself btw). Now though, he's an egotistical idiot (a thoroughly deserved title) - from one extreme to the other really. Needs to find a happy medium next season...

Got to say, imo the one thing we do actually miss about Carroll is his ability to attack set pieces. Dare I say that our set piece success rate could have been higher with Carroll in the team?! (This isn't me wanting him back btw, don't want to see him back in the shirt in the near future).

Valdes

That's a dive and a half like.

Manchester University do need some world class players to replace the student cunts like.

The plan is coming together nicely then.

Widespread condemnation about this from everyone at work today. One lad pointed out that a Di Canio managed Swindon lost 4-0 to a Westley managed Preston earlier in the season. Ha (I do note that we lost to a Westley managed Stevenage btw).

A legitimate technique tbf
