Totti has started this game well. He said he wanted a birthday goal and when he wants to score, he usually does.
Just because Pamperchu can not deal with a ball being played intricately and not being hit 30+ yards
Innit :lol. Everyone's kinda agreeing we got away with it but there's positives
Moyes was right. Jagielka has more influence than we ever could have known. He's ruffled the feathers of the coolest man in the world.

I don't really have any complaints about the Falcao sub. Do you guys think he wouldn't be gassed too?
It was one or the other. Considering Falcao is still coming back from a long injury I think it's a fair choice.

I'm just so relieved.
We won. We looked like we gave a shit.

West Brom at home next
If we don't win that one...
Especially when one/both of Man Utd and Everton will be dropping points the same day

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Allardyce is having an absolute 'mare.

The inclusion of the image made me scroll up to double check if this was doicare.Yeah, we are so fucking dire at the back. 3 senior defenders out injured.
Hopefully this type of win can get some confidence back into the team and especially the back line. Need to stop with the silly mistakes and letting teams get back into games. De Gea pls.
Shaw at Lb and Rafa at Rb is perfect. Shaw is more solid at the back whilst Rafa is great going forward. Both add much needed pace to the team.
McNair looked good. Hope it wasn't a one off and he can play like this consistantly. Wasn't afraid to push forwards with the ball too.

Utd were plenty panicky at the end their, for the most part, but West Ham weren't good enough to put us away. Though in saying that, there is 'panicky' that we saw tonight, which stemmed from a desire to win and show some heart, and then there is 'panicky' like last week, which beggars belief, and words.

Nah, no need for hyperbole. A 4th place and CL football is more realistic for us.

Mangala what are you doing haha
Just seen the City/Hull goals. Silly boy.
Dzeko has such a sweet strike man.

Whoops
I was thinking it was 3-1 but that was Burnley wasn't it? We kept a clean sheet against them
United defence > Chelsea defence
Surely he wants to score every game lol
Falcao looked far more energetic and full of running; would have helped out in defence more than RVP. You make a good point, but it was just annoying seeing Robin do fuck all.

Everyone is salty as fuck:
:loool
No but I don't have to be responding to someone else just to make a comment.
I'm not even posting out of frustration of anything, and I'm surprised people are even defending that garbage performance :lol there really are no excuses.

Van Persie did alright. Like what did people want him to do. He got under almost all the long balls and contested the headers.
That's all he had to feed off. Nobody was ever near him to link up or for him to make a run for.
He did fine.

But we had 10 men Morsel. Like I'd get your point if we did that with 11 men. But we had ten men Morsel.
10 of them.
10.

Our current pick is 19 year old Paddy Mcnair.
They aren't top class, but at least they aren't youth level class.
Paddy did well though.
Fuck it, I was keen to sit up and watch Arsenal v Tottenham, but it's 215am and I've got a tee time booked for 730.
Will have to give the Wengerbus a skip, I think. It's been a fun night, once again.
These fucking faces are killing me.

:lol Munir.
Really are no excuses :lol
- Six new players starting, gelling necessary
- Down to ten men for half an hour
- two nineteen year olds in the defence both making their debut
- back four never played together
- three senior centre defenders injured
No excuses :lol :lol :lol
Come off it. It wasn't a good performance. But there absolutely are positives to take from it. You're usually more reasoned than this, it's odd

He will always be a playmaker first and foremost. Getting assists for others is what he is still mainly about. It is why his 230+ goals is amazing.

Winning against anyone when you have 10 men for half an hour is something to celebrate.
He's going complete Nastasic right now, having issues with the high line and offside trap. Really poor positioning today. Nastasic never seemed to learn, hopefully Mangala can.

Blind was decent. Think he gets passed a bit too much, would work well with someone like De Jong or Matic next to him I think, but that might be a bit too negative. I like him and he's impressive in possession, but doesn't really control the midfield.
Rojo was fine; stood out the least of the four defenders but did his job well enough.
Rafael, Shaw and Herrera were the best of our team, and McNair had a class last 15 or so (from what I saw anyway)

Messi was offside.
But you had 11 men. It was one of your 11 men that made a huge mistake. Does that not come into play in any assessment? How do you lose your head when you're leading 2-1 at home and you're the captain of your team, the biggest in the league?
