If we lose this, we will be lucky to stay in the top 4 if we carry on like this.

5 points behind Chelsea at the moment. But not beating Burley at home, a generally shit Everton (this season) and now probably losing to Arsenal too would be pretty bad in recent weeks.

Pellegrini earned manager of the month nicely for December, time to earn his money in January too.

Is Navas really better than Scott Sinclair, what a fookin nosebleed this crap excuse for a winger is.
So what if he tracks back, he needs to so he can retrieve his fookin passes.

I disagree, but good one, lol!

Some of the comments here are fucking bollocks.

How's Navas the fall guy?

Kompany fell for two dives and given a pen and a yellow card respectively. Was dispossessed by a trip which lead to him soon giving a pen. He's coming out is pressuring us as our high line has to contend with rapid counter runners like Chamberlain, Sanchez and Monreal. Simply inviting trouble.

The key to the game is stretch the play, we are too narrow. Milner has been equally as poor as Navas at whipping the ball in and I'd sooner utilise Kolarov on that win tbh. Imo the changes need to be formation now. They're playing a 4-5-1 same as us but it's a 4-6-0 at times. We need more magic and inter-play. Jovetic for Milner for me.

If worse comes to worse. Dzeko and Kolarov on. Spray the box with over the tops.

This is why I fear Athletico over any other team in the CL. They play the way we hate.

VK is a sacred cow not just with our fans but also the media. But he always makes me nervous when goes into challenges. He's no Baresi, Moore nor Beckenbauer that's for sure.

He's not the fall guy. Nobody is suggesting that but you.

He has, however, been utter shite and wasted umpteen opportunites to attack and given the ball away needlessly.

Saying a player has been bad isn't the same as blaming him for losing. Don't see what's so hard to conprehend about that.

To be fair, for about three pages, it became the bash Navas thread, while Milner has gotten off with very little criticism.

where on earth has that come from

 

[jauganaut]

You can criticize Navas all you want, but at least he is trying something. Milner has spent the last 45 mins falling over the field. He must be the fucking Mascot.

Theres flapping and theres plain old bollocks.

This is plain old bollocks.

Sharpness when in possession is the main problem here and I think all three of Lampard,Dzeko,Koralov will make it worse.
