From Wikipedia:

On 21 March 2015, in a match against Burnley, Forster suffered a severe knee injury after clearing a back pass and was escorted off the pitch by medics, and replaced by Kelvin Davis. Koeman said Forster's injury was "looking bad" and that the doctors were "not positive". Up to this point, he had been ever-present for Southampton throughout the season and kept the most clean sheets in the League.[93][94] Four days later, Southampton confirmed Forster's injury to be a broken kneecap and that he would be out for the remainder of the season.[95]
 
video ref is useless when hand and elbow = no penalty. but when lewandowski goes flying its a clear pen like on matchday 1 hahah
 
Danny Simpson needs to be careful with his shorts...

Martial on the bench ��

Mourinho's motivational tactics 101. You play well, you are benched the next game. Is Lingard the 120k GOAT, starting?

Considering Martial mental makeup this is going to work wonders for the kid.
 
awful referee, clear handball.
chelsea not getting any luck today.

hazard not even running or trying and he's already causing players to drop like flies.

the line up
Neuer- rafinha- hummels-martinez-kimmich-rudy-tolisso-thiago-müller-coman-lewandowski
 
I really don't see why everyone seems to love Demarai Gray. He doesn't have anything besides pace. His passing is really poor and his decision making is even worse. He doesn't occupy spaces while defending, don't trackback properly. I seriously don't get it but it appeared a lot of teams were willing to pay him a lot of money this window, so I have to be blind.

Going defensive with that midfield. I'm surprised Mou didn't put Lingard instead of Mkhitaryan and Fellaini instead of Herrera. Maybe Mou saving the big guns for the CL.
 
looks like good results for all the top sides today so gonna be so annoyed if we drop points to a rubbish stoke side
