Surprised Valencia wasn't introduced since he's more offensive and Mata taken off for Herrera. But when we didn't even have a CF cos the coach was being conservative then you won't be surprised.

May be he has the FA Cup tie in mind.

Pic 5. Now Darmian has to chace the pass which he could have stopped if he man marked the Spurs guy.

The rest is history.

First goal.

Pic 1. Smalling and Blind went for same aerial ball, both missed and fell to the ground.

Pic 2. Carrick joins Smalling to battle for the loose ball. Blind still on the ground. Darmian is playing Dele Alli onside.

Pic 3. Darmian is not alert to the fact that someone has come to take a position in his front. He is also still playing Dele onside.

Pic 4. A pass is going to the Spurs guy in front of Darmian.

chrisley024:
No, Spurs saw the weakness in LvG's tactics after half time. I'm just watching the post match analysis where they showed his formation was skewed and unbalanced with players on the left side leaving the right only for the RB and that's the weak spot Spurs utilized.

So it is very possible we would have lost with Mensah still on cos I'm yet to see Darmian's error that led to any of the goals. Our CBs fumbled big time.

Lots of players like Mata, Lingard and Rojo were poor in the game and he made a waste of the sub.

What I don't even understand is his use of Young as a CF if not maybe to try and contain Spurs

But Mensah covered his position and even went uncountable times to bail out Smalling and Blind in the middle. About two of the goals came from Darmian's position.

Mensah's short coming was his lack of attacking play. Rojo did better in going forward.

Bros I bin think say u join coogs dey call am beast beginning of this season

I praised him after his first few games, but I was quick to back out.

We can still make top 4.

May be it would have been better for Rashford to complete the game. There was no connection between Young and Martial. Young is not match fit, and he did nothing rightly today.

Will u keep quiet!!!

Who is this? Get off my comments.

chrisley024:
Darmian in for Mensah.

Darmian is a sub par defender.

Mensah has been the one bailing us out. Smalling and Blind didn't have had a poor day at office.

3-0

Our defence is pathetic.

Smalling, Schneiderlin and Carrick went for same ball, three against one, and they lost the duel. Then Spurs scores. 1-0

Martial almost did a 'Messi'. He went past three men, only to shoot straight at goalkeeper.

Mensah limping..

chrisley024:
Mata should have gone out. I'm yet to see his contribution in this game

What about Lingard?

GBR1:
And now he's playing young as CF. This man has lost it.

When he can swap position with Martial.

We cannot win tackles, we cannot win lose balls, we cannot win first balls and we cannot win second balls.

You doesn't appear to have match rythm.

Young on for Rashford.

We dominated the opening minutes, after then we have been lucky not to concede. The inexperience of the youngsters is showing again like the Liverpool game. Lingard, Rashford are not seen. Martial is the only one holding play for us but he gets crowded out, sometimes he stays too long on the ball.

Our defence has been exposed time and time again.

Mike Dean again?

Before then Sunderland were not creating much, and Okazaki had a real penalty shout denied in the first half

Sunderland also had a penalty denied. That hand ball was a penalty.

Sunderland had very poor forwards whose final decisions were sub standard. Those forwards, bar Defoe, are only good for East African leagues.

raumdeuter:
No Leicester were

You know how many chances Ulloa, Gray Vardy missed? If they all scored their chances Leicester would have won 6-2

That was late on. When Sunderland went to look for goals. When it was even, Sunderland had the chances to go ahead.

GBR1:
I don't think Mensaah should have even started this match. This is LVG's arrogance at play and he wants to get credit if it works out again.

He is using the youngersters as his saving grace.

chrisley024:
Leicester made it 2 today at the 95th minute.
Game would have seen about 5 goals if the clear chances were converted

Sunderland were more wasteful.

Why won't Valencia start?

"Questions will be asked whether he will be happy with his utd career? Of course he will be happy.. endless amount of trophies where he played his part.. However, knowing Nani as I do, I do believe he would have wanted more games & to have influenced more consistently during his United tenure!

He was blessed with lots of attributes, having the tools to match most in the world - pace, power in both feet, skill, strength...I could go on. It's one thing having all that it's another putting it all together....week in week out.

"Of all the players I've played with during my career, if I wanted someone to beat someone 1 vs 1 & it was do or die he would have been one of my first picks for sure. He can go either way, off either foot, tricky & lightening quick - a defenders nightmare."

A player who could have hit the heights

If Manchester United were to produce a highlights reel of Nani's best moments at the club, it could be quite spectacular, with trickery, assists, and long range goals.

The bloopers reel however would be quite something too, with numerous shots blazed off target and crosses failing to get anywhere near the intended destination

Rio Ferdinand. .

I missed Nani.

So Leicester can even extend their lead this weekend?

adconline:
You are missing the point. State governors got N48 out of every N100 shared by FG. Nobody stopped governors from saving. Someone like Oshiomole is even blaming the previous administrations when he has been part and parcel of it for the past 8 yrs.

How much is Edo State allocation compared to the money looted by just one politician?

Edo State allocation was N4 billion, yet we have a situation where individual politician looted 500 billion or even trillion.

godwinkessi:
At the end u still contradicted ur own self too bad

Go back to read it. How did I contradict myself?

raumdeuter:
UEFA team of the year doesnt even have DDG

That's because he plays for a weak Manchester United side, and Spanish coach still loves Casilas out of sentiments. When Casilas retires and United becomes dominant in Europe again, DDG will get his proper rating.
