The defending from Mangala when Everton hit the bar was terrible

No it wasn't. Terrible would be letting him cut inside onto his stronger foot with the whole goal to aim at. If you are that isolated against someone with pace, making them shoot with their wrong foot from a narrow angle is not a bad result. He could of read it better to be closer to him, but he made the right decision in making sure Lukaku could go the other way.

i
Is that what he just did for that chance then? Getting turned inside out and letting him in on his stronger foot?

Again though, onto the narrow angle where Hart should always make the save.

I fucking hate how these twats play like it's their bloody cup final every time. Hull beat them 2 fucking nil for god's sake. Fucking Hull.

i haven't been impressed with Mangala since he signed

You didn't bother watching the Chelsea game?

He has had 1 good game... and thats pretty much it and defenders rarely come good after an average start. You can either defend or not....and he can't imo.

Is it Aguero time yet ?
