I can’t stress how awful City’s defending was throughout that game. Utterly pathetic. Guardiola is having a chat with Savinho. He might need to speak with his defenders first.

Barcelona 1-1 Atletico Madrid: Half time in Catalonia.
Bournemouth 0-0 Everton: A well-worked corner routine, sees Kluivert pick out Milosavljevic at the back post but his header is poor.

Bournemouth 0-0 Everton: Tavernier and Evanilson come on in the hope things liven up at the Vitality.
Edan Tal writes: “I’ve got a terrible birthday, 26th December. Don’t have a favourite game on such a busy football day because I get to spend the day driving to Birmingham and back each year. Only thing I get to share it with is with Chairman Mao, the 2006 Tsunami, and Aaron Ramsey.”
James Humphries says: “My favourite, to cheat a bit, is probably actually one I gave rather than received – got my daughter a Scotland top for her birthday last year and she was gratifyingly, heart-achingly delighted with it.
“She won’t be so pleased after a few more years of being a Scotland fan, etc.”
