Correct were 5 points clear on a dodgy Man u goal against City and a cheating Everton nicking a point at the Etihad 
We clearly do, for whatâs it worth I thought Dieg OâMaradonaâs first goal against England in 1986 was even better than his second one 
Too pitchy for you? Maybe heâs secretly got the range of Steve Perry?

Do you have arguments with yourself by any chance?
Well there you go! Not a real football fan then IMO.
What is a real football fan out of interest.
Lol just an Irish Italian whoâs footballing idol is Maradona, not anyoneâs fault that the referee has bad eyesight and Peter Shilton was unable to jump higher than 10cms
The real answer is that there is no definition of a real football fan because the game means something different to everyone.

On a similar-ish related note, did anyone see/notice Tierneyâs reaction after the winner? Does he seem like heâs in a better place?

Slowly making me retract my âendorsementâ when we were linked with him.
Brilliant when Partey got injured but his last starts against Everton and the games against Sporting he was found out big time. Clearly targeted by opposition and when paired with Vieira and Xhaka itâs a shit show.
Could see him gone by next January tbh. Very much good enough for now signing.
Good player for a back up for the odd PL game agaisnt a bottom tier team at home and playing in early stages of League Cup and FA Cup. But still think we need a stronger back up for Partey that at the very least and even someone whoâs going to be a long term replacement, if thatâs Declan Rice so be it.
I have no issues with Jorginho but I just donât think heâs someone at this point of his career you want to overly depend on.
Probably revisit this in the summer along with Xhaka. There have been rumours he was looking to go back to Italy and there was interest from there too.
Can accept one staying mainly because of what they bring to the dressing room but perhaps the two of them are an overkill.

Played three or four passes right through Sportingâs defence in the first half. He offers us something.

Heâs not a bad player but there are clearly some deficiencies in his game that can be exploited if you donât protect him properly.
At times he and Xhaka were being passed by like cones. Their players were clearly instructed to him a lot.
For me he should have been the one to get subbed at HT and Jesus to stay for a little longer.

Thatâs gotta be a fitness thing. No issues with that sub. Itâs leaving Vieira on for so goddamn long that bugs me.
He helped us gain a firmer foothold in the game. We still wasnât great, but at least we werenât getting out played by a team fighting for survival.
