New player to our team but crazy how much more solid Fernando makes us

Has more to do with playing a five man midfield, I would say.

Keane looks like a fucking alcoholic hermit

I'm pretty sure I saw a bird's nest in that facial forest of his. Unkempt just doesn't describe it.

[Wooders]

So Draft Day starring Kev Costner is available to rent in the sky store - thanks for the heads up sky sports

Well earned 3 points. Didn't think we'd get them at one stage but a wins a win. Still a lot to get slicker about but bit of pressure on Chelsea now. Pleased with clean sheet as well. Fernando looked the part when he came on. Missed him these last six games

[PrezIke]

Good grit and determination showed by the team but wow how can one not notice the difference when we went to a 5 man midfield?

Very happy for yaya with that goal.

[zuricity]

i wonder if Manuel will take notice. the past two games we didn't look impressive but then we switched to a 5-man midfield and we controlled the remainder of those 2 matches. coincidence? no, causation.

What 5 man midfield ?????

wtf are you talking about ? We played 9 players on the edge of the Villa box for the entire game .... Law of averages says we'll get a chance at goal.

Sorry se looked far more vulnerable to counters...actually we were...as fernando was there to protect the defence and yaya and silva given more freedom in the attack.

That appeared to me to be a key difference after lampard and fernando came on.

Yes, villa was probably tired from pressing so much, but we looked far more comfortable in possession the last 25 minutes.

[PrezIke]

Also mangala did well. The man is a beast in the air...wow

Keane looks like a fucking alcoholic hermit

His hipster beard needs some help. Few people I'd laff at their death but he's one for sure. Trampy looking cunt.

Cheers

DID I NOT SAY GO FASTER AND THATS WHAT WE DID AND WON

Playing God.

You can save either Bacon or Keane or Brenda or Wenger. Only one. The others face the grim reaper.

[Dubaimancityfan]

Frustrating 80 minutes but what a finale ! Yaya back to saving us and may this open the floodgates for him. Clean sheet and great performances from almost all the lads. Perfect day.

[Dameerto]

What's going on with Dennis Wise's hair? He looks like a retired tax collector rather than footballer.

Exactly.

[Green & Blue]

I missed today's events only caught the very end on bein sports.Two quality goals.Great to see Yaya got a goal today, how was his overall performance and how did Mangala get on?

[Clowncrete]

I hope Villa go down now. Sick of their "sit back and lump it to the fast guy forward" strategy. Oh, and K*ane.

Agreed. He is probably an interesting and intelligent bloke on any subject except money in football. I would want to slap the others after one sentence on any topic.

[Goaters 103]

Brilliant until the final third, until the last 10 mins.

Silva majestic, Milner covered every blade and Ya Ya and Sergio were clinical in the nick of time. Fernando an absolute key to how we want to play. Welcome back to him, and to Ya Ya Toure. Pleasing.
