Not sure what all the angst is about, really.
We mullered them in their own backyard, silenced their crowd and played some damn good football. They scored from a triple deflection and left us with pinocchio on the line as last ditch defence, so that was never staying out. Then they levelled with a total fluke, scored, accidentally, by a guy who had been on for less than a minute.
Ade was totally knackered and despite his goal, Chadli played most of the game looking like he had boxing gloves on his feet rather than boots. Took it well mind, almost makes you think he might turn out useful. Lamela spent the whole game looking like a superb futsal/5 a side player, and when he opens his game up to a full sized pitch he's going to be a bastard to stay with, he gets better every game for me.
Dier cant attack and recover like Rose - and Rose can't defend like..............a defender.
Capoue and Dembele both played well and linked the defence and what passed for an attack, in a massively lively and fluid rolling, sprawling nightmare of an offensive unit. Their defensive mids and defenders are going to have nightmares tonight and will probably all sign on to their nearest place of worship tomorrow.
Vlad the impaler was awesome at defending and overconfident in going forward, but kept his brainfarts to a minimum. Their pathetic number of attempts and loris's lazy afternoon are testimony to their (our defensive) dominance.
A bit more luck and that could have been 4/5 -2.
Larsson needs beating to death with a 10 foot rubber cock.
Brown should have been sent off.
Rose should have been booked for his pathetic diving.
IMHO
