Did they seriously just contest that dropped ball resulting from their own injured player?

Both players were down and treated by physios, Otamendi just had longer treatment.

 

Why shouldn't they contest it?

[adios 717]

Why are they barely ever contested in that position?

I dunno, when the ref blows up for one player to get treatment fair enough but they just seem to be expected to be uncontested these days, we had one a few games ago that was I think?

[Andrew 4748]

That was an absolute stroll for city, for all the shit we got after our first match against them we gave them a tougher game than that on both occasions.

[adios 717]

I think it's bad form to take advantage of an injury in a dangerous position.   simulation is technically part of a winning strategy, but I've no time for that either.

 

Sterling should be court-martialled and shot tbh.

 

Job done for Rafa and the lads btw.

Aye, it's great to watch as (kind of) a neutral.

What result do we fancy Huddersfield v Palace at the weekend?

[adios 717]

Draw for me given we could do without Huddersfield winning prior to playing Newcastle the next match.

[Andrew 4748]

Palace will win that one I think, Zaha should be back.

[Dr Gloom 21915]

draw probably the best result, keep them both sweating

[Rayvin 5221]

Aye, agree on a draw being best. Although if we beat Huddersfield, relegation worries will more or less cease for me. We'll find another 5 points across the remaining 7 games fairly easily IMO.

[Dr Gloom 21915]

aye, beat huddersfield and we're all but safe. i reckon we'll be technically safe by the time we play west brom. go team willy wavers

Man U

[PaddockLad 17256]

 

Think that kills the "Ashley Young for England" shouts then

 

[Howmanheyman 33182]

Scholes face will be fucking priceless the fucking barely literature dirty ginger bastard. 

[Ayatollah Hermione 13863]

Didn't realise Cardiff had reduced the gap on Wolves to 3 points. Impressive going, that. They must be winning every time out.

[ewerk 30602]

They were shite. Looked like they expected to turn up and win it regardless. For professional footballers to misplace so many passes is disgraceful.

[Howay 12496]

Facundo Ferreyra shoved a ball boy over the advertising hoarding against Roma in the CL, if anyone wanted a ‘Chucky Ferreyra’ update.

Mourinho:

"I've sat in this chair twice before, with Porto - Man Utd out, with Real Madrid - Man Utd out, so this is nothing new for this football club."

Maybe fergie was right to sell him in the first place

Bailly was atrocious in the last 20 mins

[Ayatollah Hermione 13863]

Reckon Pogba is a good player but it’s a definite clash of egos with him and Mourinho. Pogba probably thinks that any manager in the world should play him where he wants and Mourinho will expect any player in the world to play where he’s told.

Probably spot on there

The problem is that when hes not being played where he wants or in a system he likes its not just a case of him not dominating games, he becomes incapable of making 5 yard passes. He gives the ball away like nobodies business in a majority of the games I see him play and its not when hes trying to make Shelvey-esque raking balls out to an overlapping fullback, its him passing to his midfield partner a few yards away, or this
