    Easter Sunday game for those who celebrate.

    Let us hope that it is the resurrection of Diego. Or a clean sheet.

    Would love to see us demolish them, but you know Jose will have them fired up for this. Expect a tight game. I think Mata, Jones, and Smalling are still out, so they will prob stick with Rojo and Bailly. Need to exploit that and the fact they played yesterday.

    I'll miss this as I'll be flying to Pittsburgh. Will have to try and catch a replay on the NBC Sports App.

    There will likely be a red card. They were garbage against Anderlecht on Thursday. Hoping that lethargic play continues against us.

    In our two previous matches this season, Jose hasn't really had an answer for us. Both times I assumed he'd have his players firing out of the gates. Instead, they were flat in the first performance and resorted to a really bad Hack-a-Hazard strategy in the second.

    Despite our commanding win last week, our play has look labored and dubious. We no longer control matches or dominate. Teams have adjusted and now its up to our pure talents to boss the game. If Hazard and Costa show up together, I think our defense can handle Ibra.

    That said, 1-1.

    Courtois is out. Training injury.

    Glad we held on to Begovic and don't have Craig Gordon as #2.

    Concerning to say the least. Thinking 1-1 or 2-1 them.

    Zlatan is on the bench. Rashford starts up top with young on the left.

    We should go after that Scott Sterling kid in the summer. I've seen YouTube footage and he'd be an excellent backup keeper. Not gifted but he stops shots and as a US college player would certainly take a backup role at big club.

    Alonso out of the starting line up due to injury while warming up?

    Would have preferred Ake start to Zouma. Why in the ******** was he brought back if not for situations like this?

    Apparently he is ill/unwell and not injured.

    Azpi replaces him at lwb and Zouma steps in to the three man defence

    These past few weeks were prime examples of why we sold Luiz in the first place.

    Diego gets a yellow for a pointless stamp on Pogba.

    This is the worst version of Diego Costa.

    He's playing like shit and acting like a little shit.

    I'm about ready to give up on him.

    Worst first half performance of the season?
