Played well in patches, some confidence needed in the final third, snatching and panicking at shots

Just don't concede at this

Got away with that, that backing off though

No doubt they will score with their first chance

Yep

No doubt they will score with their first chance

Positive start

Already seen Wijnaldum which is good

Perez should do better

Good performance and not a hammering is what I expect

Better not concede an early goal, will play into Leicester hands.

So don't do what we did last season?

Dalglish was responsible for that aging team though by signing Barnes, Rush and Pearce

I hate Dalglish more than McClaren, what McClaren did was make a crap team be a little more crap yet Dalglish was responsible for dismantling a class team and making it very average/crap

People are talking about winning 5 in 10, when the team has won 6 league games all season... I'm pretty sure the morale surge alone of signing Benítez will do a lot, but I'm really afraid that it will be too late. And IT WILL SUCK.

 

Agreed. What's keeping me excited is the fact we only have to do better than our rivals by 2 points. Beat Sunderland & Norwich and we will end up staying up. Anything less than 4 points over the next 3 games and we are goners.

4 points would be horrible, I see it as a minimum 6 from the next 3 games needed, ideally coming against the Mackems and Norwich

If we stay up i'm interested in the direction he takes us in terms of style of play.

 

I hated him at Madrid. Absolutely hated him, his natural inclination goes against everything the club is about. He couldn'gt make that club in his image but due to his stature he could do it here successfully.

 

In at least 6 positions he's basics first. Goalie's seem to do well under him and his coaches so i'm optimistic about Krul improving next season.

 

Likes a no nonsense back 4. Agger, Skrtel, Carragher came of age under Rafa and Sami too. FB signings include Arbeloa, liked to play nacho at Madrid. Rarely played Riise at LB iirc.

What is Real Madrid all about? Well apart from being absolute bloody morons when it comes to appointing/sacking managers and buying expensive players without any real plan or vision?

Fully expect Leicester to win BUT hopefully we don't make it easy for them, under McClaren I would expect us to get beat comfortably in this match

Ramos gets sent off for a second yellow, loves a red card he does

Gutted for Las Palmas, they have played really well

Casemeiro from a corner

Damn, 2-1 to Real

Las Palmas equalise, get in

Gameiro is f***ing rapid, man.

Aye, didn't realise how quick he was until I saw him run against Alba

Just hoping to see a decent performance really, any point will be a bonus, it's 6 from the following 2 matches that we badly need

What does Navas do?

Run fast and crap crosses

Pelligrini trying to finish 5th so Pep has no CL next season

City are so average, reckon Norwich will pinch this
