Brilliant performance from everyone today. The midfield completely dominated and ran the entire match. The passing, and movement was phenomenal, and that was complimented nicely with some good finishing! Rooney made a good comeback from injury by scoring in the 20 mins i gave him to play.

Wow! Stunning performance. Asamoah and Gotze ran havoc, and completely tore Arsenal apart. Gotze had to come off though because of fatigue, but the damage had been done. It was nice to see such an annihilation of a team like arsenal. They were lost!

A good win at home. Porto couldnt even get in the game, and we made sure we took full advantage of that. In all honesty we should have scored a few more goals, but it was a good performance nonetheless.

Transfer News:

I have been offered Fernandinho for £10 mil, and i think he may be a good buy. Do you guys think i should buy him and sell Fletcher?

A nice victory at a potentially difficult location. Stoke tried to be physical and muscle us off the ball. They tried to tackle hard to prevent us from settling, but our passing was so quick and sharp, they didnt stand a chance. Felipe Anderson put in another great performance, and Gotze ran riot down the left flank to secure us the win. De Gea also pulled of a fabulous save from the penalty spot to keep the clean sheet.

Poor performance from the frontmen and the midfield. We created a decent amount of chances, but Rooney couldnt convert them, and later on, neither could Cavani. A poor result, especially in a game we should have won

I was scared at first because Rooney picked up an injury within the first 15 minutes, and thought the game would go downhill from there. But Hernandez came on and made an instant impact, scoring straight away. Then just before half time, we made a blunder and awarded Madrid a penalty. I thought that this would be the turning point for sure! But De Gea pulled of a fantastic save to keep us in it. Then i subbed Welbeck on to hassle the opposition defence, and he did exactly that. I also changed the halftime strategy to counter, and thats how we managed to grab the second goal.

A good all-round performance, with great play down the flanks. Cleverly was a little quiet though on the left. Hernandez put in a great performance, which was dampened a little by the missed penalty.
