Palace hanging in there, just barely. Missing some important players I think, they look crap really.

Jota for Salah, he's in there on reputation only.

Come on Mane, you cannot afford to miss such a chance when we get the ball!!!

Their strength lies in their pace and passing, some really top notch players in there too for a club of their size. A mini City, so to say. I guess we usually struggle against them mainly because we ignore some of their qualities, we should take them more seriously.

Anybody else observed that Mane is a changed man ever since he came back from his Africa cup win. Or perhaps since the signing of Diaz? I reckon both have played their part in the revival of Mane.

Not Mo's day, I think it's Jota time.

We're just too wasteful, hope won't come back and bite us in the arse.

Antonio is such an arsehole, bullying Allison and shooting anywhere!

Hope that settles the perineal question of whether Minamino should stay or go. Boy has finally arrived and we just saw the Minamino that played us in the Champions League with Red Bull a few years back.

Too light a team, don't ya think? Norwich play good football these days, only they can't score.

City cannot live with pace and power, exactly how Spurs beat them today, stretching them on the wings. This Spurs side is evolving into a dangerous squad under Conte. And who is the guy with the Russkie name?

Well done Keita, Hendo who pretty much changed the course of the game. Great subs by Klopp.

Come on boys, we need to pick up the pace like that. Have been too lethargic tonight.

What the hell Allison, putting us under pressure unnecessarily.

Sadio still in a hangover...

Great gesture from Mane consoling Mo. Fair and square Senegal deserved the win all things considered. Mo should be alright with seven already in the bag. A loss would've been a disaster for Mane.

Egypt got exactly what they were playing for: Pennos. We will see.

Come on Sadio, you should have gone left after what I suspect Mo whispered to the goalie.

Why is Jones still on the pitch?

Bring on Origi, Frimino is no striker at all. Jones has been disappointing as well, replace with Ox.

Haha, Mancs held to a draw on their own ground. Borough playing very nice football, by the way, clear signs of improvement under Smith.

I'm afraid Egypt to win it against all the odds, against my own wish as well.

Good luck to Mo but this Cameroon side look a cut above the rest, very impressed with their control, passing and overall football intelligence.

Surprised myself when the Guardian is now linking a player who would've been at Anfield by now per all the shitty rumours. He is also linked to Manure while there is no mention of Liverpool.

Surprised at Nigeria's exit who I thought would go all the way to the final. Equally surprised that Comors made it to the last 16 at the expense of giants like Ghana, Algeria...My money now would be on I Coast/Cameroon. But wouldn't be shocked now if OLD Egypt pulls through. Anyways, the standard of African football remains dire.
