When we close down the way we did and move the ball quickly we are a real force. Let's hope we can up the intensity in the league now with us being out of the Europa.

Coutinho, what a player you lot have on your hands.
For £8 million , an absolute steal .

Allen had a great day at the office

Coutinho is stepping up, as a young prospect he was greater or on par with his pal Neymar. The lad was just missing goals what a couple recently

Countinho is a talent, no doubt about it. He's beginning to add goals which was always a criticism, if he plays consistently to his level then we'll have a special player.

Thought Allen was great today. Some of his first timing passing was superb.

Best game?

Not even close. We should thank Pellegrini for his poor subs. We never seem to deal with Dzeko power and ball control. Once he was subbed it was easy for us.

Our best performances were Spurs away, Swansea home and Arsenal home.

only one shot on goal. I think they dealt pretty well with dzeko besides the goal.

Taking into account the quality of the opposition i'd have to agree this was probably our best game so far.

Really enjoyable game to watch too, and not just when we were winning. Three belting good goals and even the disallowed ones were excellent.

Sky should pay us an entertainment bonus........
