UEFA Champions League/Europa League ** Spoilers ** [18/19/20 October 2016]

I really wish Carrick wouldnt give possession away so badly/ easily right in front of our pen box (thats at least 2nd time tonight)

Surely this would have been a good game to bring Mickey on late, like now, to replace Mata?

Darmian will leave in January, no way he's just going to sit on the bench (or sometimes not even on the bench).

Yeah I thought the same when one of the commentators said he's having a great match....yeah, he is, if you exclude the ball he gave away that nearly led to their goal.

Agreed re: Darmain. He must cry inside when he sees Valencia chosen instead of him.

We still have The Schwine, too.

all I was meaning is that now that Darmian has started playing - IF he continues to get games why go?

Obviously this may be the only game this season in which case there is no question he will leave.

We still have The Schwine, too.

Thats a lot more clearcut than Schneiderlin and maybe Darmian


Good to see Fosu Mensah coming on

 

[Shamikebab]

He won't get games, Mourinho has clearly shown that he doesn't like him. He'll only play in the cup games.

He's not on the bench which would make it a touch difficult to bring him on.

Well, duh, that was my point, if he'd been on the bench then this would have been a good match to get up to speed. Funnily enough, I can read

if JM didnt want to play him at all then he didnt NEED to play him tonight (even if JM wanted to give Valencia a rest tonight)

Lol, Rooney tries the 90 degree turn at pace and his head makes the turn but the body didn't do so well.

 

[sigma]

Shaw has been a bit reckless/overly aggressive at times today, perhaps he's trying too hard.

 

[sigma]

Where is the crowd? Plastic fans.

 

[FrankJH]

Mata really should score there

 

[fez]

Stunning touch from Mata and then a rubbish shot.

 

[FrankJH]

Where is the crowd? Plastic fans.

71000 not enough for you?

71000 not enough for you?

It's like a library.

I just thought I'd check my use of the term plastic fans and according to Urban Dictionary:

Plastic fan
A plastic fan is usually used for describing a Chelsea Football Club fan.


Plastic Fan
A person who roots for a Non-Hometown team based on that teams good record. Or from having some childhood memory of going to a game of that said team with their pedophile uncle.

WTF

Well he clearly understands that if Valencia gets injured he will need Darmian. He's clearly not going to choose to play him though. Darmian is too good for that and will probably go back to Italy.

RvP

 

[FrankJH]

It's like a library.

Not that long ago they were talking about changing the accoustics at OT (dont ask me how), and about a "choir" section but both rumours have gone quiet / died out (no pun intended)

 

[Shamikebab]

Happy for RvP but that is atrocious defending. Rojo just watching.
