Having a very good game against Monaco in the final atm. Nearly scored what would of been one of the best Cruyff flick goals I've ever seen. No idea how the GK saved it! So much talent in the French league atm.

Seen it mate, keeper knew nothing about it, lucky it was straight at him
 
Yep watching it. Could do, haven't seen enough of Fabinho to comment but take your word!
 
I dont understand how Mourinho can blame your front 4 for being poor against West Broms back line of 8 players. What was the reason of playing 2 holding mids today, no need at at all. The width today should have been provided by the fullbacks, nothing against Valencia as I think defensively he's top notch but he's crossing today was abysmal. Got it all wrong today Mourinho.

West brom still carried a threat on the break plus fellaini got forward a lot more in the game so it was essentially a 4-1-4-1 with Carrick as the holding mid.

I know personal limited him but cmon two holding midfield player one being a walking tree and the other didnt even venture past the half way line. The fullbacks were key today as the width needed to come from that area, which begs the question is Shaw even alive.
 
This match doesn't change a thing. Lingard, who couldn't finish his breakfast if he were spoonfed, has produced some spectacular finishes at times.

1 good volley doesn't change ****.

We didn't really play 2 holding CMs and Fellaini was more advanced especially in the second half. And Fellaini is a BTB CM not a holding one. The only thing I might have done is thrown on Willock for the last 15-20 for that bit of unknown but I'm not picking tbh.
 
Okay, take a look at falcao. Compare how he looked and played in England to how he's looked in the french league. ****, he even scored that spectacular chip for Monaco against ******.

Very poor argument that. Falcao was poor because he wasn't fit and rushed back from a couple of serious injuries. And when he did play it was in a team creating next to no chances per game. If he came and played in a good team and was completely fit, he would of been banging them in. Can't believe you can't see Cavani is a top STR averaging about 30-40 goals the last 5-6 seasons.

Falcao was returning from a severe ACL one of the worst injuries to get in football. It takes years to get back to any sort of level that a player had before.

My bad its just I still dont know what Fellaini does on a football pitch to this day. Still feel it was harsh to blame the forwards considering how Brom set up.
