Mascherano still until Matic proves it in the latter stages of the Champions league IMO Masch has spent the majority of the last 4 years playing centre half man.

Yes. Think so as well. He just looks like the absolute boss all the time.

Yes.

Probably the kind of thing that could be reduced by spending money. And not rushing players back to save your skin.

tbf the dickhead did win this game, but I know what you mean. By the virtue of luck more than judgement.

This is what happens when you don't roll over and accept defeat before a ball is kicked.

And this time?

Absolutely no doubt about that. Add a bit more fluency to that team (which they'll get through experience of playing with each other) and they'll be strong challengers. 200million plus spent they better be.

Kanes movement is good, spurs really could do with someone making runs into the box ahead of him as he's created plenty of space a couple of times now.

Dunno if he can cut it. Seems very average to me.

Aye that Spurs side is rank as well.

Well done Alan, played a blinded with this fucking weirdo

Of course we can't afford to buy a striker might as well borrow one instead.

I Know we are bad Dave but Christ switching allegiances to this lot?

Nope, but you know Pards lump it at all costs and call it "front foot attacking football"

Let's also not forget who won La Liga last year.

Exactly if not why bother at all?

What's the face for? The willingness to settle for a seat on the gravy train and nothing more.

I don't think he really cares tbh. (Part of the problem) I don't get that impression at all personally. I don't think he's suited to our style of play though, he's a possession orientated player and our relationship with the ball is fleeting at best. I've never seen a performance from him which shows he cared, also coming from Ajax first team to sit on the bench for almost all season; if he cared he'd have kicked off and left by now. We don't have a style of play, which is why he suffers more than most, but I just think the league doesn't suit him at all. He's too light to cope with the shitter teams and not good enough to make an impact against the bigger ones. He's a Swansea player, Southampton at a big big push, but really that's about as good as he is in this league. Bad signing for us, even worse move for him. Guess he's waiting on De Jong to come back to see if they can get an understanding going, but really that's the last roll of the dice for him here. He'd shine at Swansea to be honest. He needs to get on the ball and distribute it to players who are ahead of him. He shows for the ball well and has good positional sense, if you noticed today he was the guy protecting the back four today (didn't work too well as colo likes to step out and leave massive gaps behind him).

Same man that selected Armstrong over Cisse.

Just back. What a load of s****. These scarves were f***ing everywhere! Standing outside before, there was always at least one person walking by wearing one. Perfect for your football tourists which Manchester welcomes with such love.

Normally he sort of sits alongside whoever and has a bit of license to get forward now and then. f*** knows what he was trying to do today. Did a passable job when put at LB. Game was over when he was put at left back but I guess your in a generous mood On a serious note I just don't understand what he offers. It was a poor attempt at being even. His pen win (which was an odd penalty win anyway given he didn't have the ball) will probably go down as an assist n all I'm trying to be objective and look for some distinguishing qualities in his game but I'm left scratching my head. He really doesn't excel at anything.
