Vucinic is so frustrating. His work ethic is just terrible. On his day though, it's fireworks. Pretty much a Berbatov.
16th minute: Do they give it to Higuain? The man with more than three times as any goals as anyone else in the competition? The man who just netted a hattrick and a 10.0 match rating? No. Of course not. I am Zlatan steps up and slots home. GOAL
ffs. ridiculous. we lose this I'm just going to write us off. awful. What did suarez do to get suspended?
37th minute: Oh, that really is calamitous. If Skippos hasn't hung himself yet, Carles Puyol is really trying to make it happen. David Alaba puts in an excellent slide tackle which rolls back in behind the two central defenders. But Gonzalo Higuain pounces like the goal-pest that he is, skipping passed Puyol to make it 2-0. The Argentinean keeps up his incredible form and Puyol smiles as Skippos pushes the knife to his throat. #all<strike>admins</strike>hateskippos GOAL
40th minute: Oooohhh. It's not all bad news for the Dereks. Vucinic steals the ball from Michael Carrick in a dangerous area and plays a ball in to Jack Wilshere, on the edge of the area. Wilshere slaps it first time and it curves past Steve Mandanda, post and in. Classy from the young Englishman. Take a bow. GOAL
What? This is live. I can only attend one game a week so I have to choose beforehand, and whichever I choose is MOTD.
HT stats: Wilshere's goal not even considered a half chance. WAG. FUCK wasteful, particularly down the left. Big chance for the Dereks.
Wow, we've been so awful with the ball it seems. Alaba shunting it at LB. Typical. Cazorla to stand up too, please
45th minute: Almost immediately, Vucinic gathers the ball and makes an excellent run. He cuts inward and takes it round Pepe, who appears to rugby tackle him down. The crazy Portuguese defender is already on a yellow and there's only one decision to be made. RED CARD Oooohhh and drama as Santi Cazorla rattles the bar from the subsequent free-kick. Game on!
