If there was ever a time for him to step up and deliver it's now. 

Did he read my post?

[5R7]

well, hes still given away more than he has passed successfully

[DC Lemon]

That match should settle whether he was going to be sacked regardless of the result.

[Liamness]

Sanchez being very selfish in these final minutes. Well, just generally really.

[JPL]

I’d rather have taken the loss and got rid of that nob.

 

But... what’s going on here? Has he had a rant at half time and they’ve actually done something about it. Does that mean they aren’t against him? So weird.

Not sure if it's pride or shame. Most of our players in the second half were clearly desperate to get level and possibly win it. They clearly care, at least enough to not lose again at home. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Jose. I'm sure words were said at half time by both the manager and the players, something got a response at least.

 

Wish we could put teams under pressure just as a matter of course, not out of absolute desperation. Hopefully Mourinho sees that and tries to keep the momentum coming out of this match. Some big games coming up though, and his natural tendency would be to start with a confusing, cagey, reactive formation. We'll see I suppose.

[Liamness]

Jardim has just been a sacked by Monaco. We're at the start of an international break. Timing couldn't really be better could it? Well, if he wants to come here anyway.

[5R7]

pretty strong line up

[spork]

Mata as a number 10? Nice!

[feltmonkey]

Judging by recent line ups it'll be Mata as a winger and Rashford as a third center back.

[spork]

Love a goal when the opponent is pretending to be injured. 

[5R7]

hahaha, that was brilliant, if that chelsea player wasnt play acting, he would have stopped that lol

[spork]

I liked how even during the replays, the commentators just didn't say anything about him lying there 

[feltmonkey]

I missed the goal because I got dragged out into the garden by my son, in order to look for toadstools. 

 

BRB going to look for toadstools again to try to get us a winner.

[Gabzy]

 

keep getting them toadstools!

[spork]

Herrera coming on because Fellaini isn't on the bench. 

[5R7]

has sanchez completed a pass!?!

Think he's waiting until Smalling sorts his hair out before doing that.

[5R7]

oh fuck right off ...*grumble grumble*

 

[JPL]

Regardless of the result, Mourinho still has to go. Acting like a fucking petulant child again in the tunnel.

[teddymeow]

Before the game is have happily taken a draw.

 

With 90 seconds to go I was amazed and jubilant at the prospect of all 3 points.

 

Then Ross Barkley...

[5R7]

almost forgot this was on...not sure that wouldnt have been a bad thing! lol

[spork]

Chong to come off the bench and score a hattrick with his hair. 

[5R7]

that juve team! oof!

[teddymeow]

Quelle surprise!

 

We're behind. 

[Seanfl9]

Feels very much the same tbh. Let the opposition have space and time, get a goal or two. Then we might press them and grab a goal. 

 

Saying that, Juve are a far superior side.

[feltmonkey]

It's incredibly easy for Juve so far. It has the feeling of a shellacking. 

[JPL]

I suppose the sooner we’re out of the CL, the sooner they can sack Mourinho. Every cloud and that.

[5R7]

Rio nailed it there, let the front 3 RUN at Juves older defenders! not rocket science! and the sooner jose gets it through his stubborn skull that matic and pogba DO NOT WORK as a two the better!
