Just popped in for a grumble, I'm going now

What a shame and we just put the kettle on.

Awful crossing from everyone today.

Missing Navas, Kolarov, Zabaleta...

This is my MAIN PROBLEM with our backups...

Without the three above - our crossing is GARBAGE..which really doesnt help when you have Dzeko-Negredo up front...sorry but we cannot go with Clichy-Boyata as LB/RB combo....clichy crossing - OMG...

Don't know if you noticed but we are winning.

Just thought I would point that out is all.

Carry on.

Pretty boring watch but got the goal.

Fernandinho player of the game once again. Boyata and Clichy are so poor going forward, which limits our attacking game. Hopefully we will kill of the game in the second half and see a bit of Lopes.

Exactly my friend.

Quite often people fail to realize that Dzeko-Negredo are NOT a problem (with this 2nd unit anyways)...with Clichy and Boyata - teams just load up in the middle...and we're in trouble.

1:0 lead will change everything though...there will be much more space in the 2nd.

Important not to get any injuries. I will take a 0-1. Just need to be in the hat. Still low tempo and slow at counter. Similar to CP and Swans. Still won ?

Half of you are missing the point. This is a knock out competition. Bad things can happen .... permanent things.

 

[Puppet Master Silva]

Are people really trying to take the assist away from Dzeko? I swear it's only him who gets this kind of mess. Unbelievable some of you.

Reel him in lads

 

[Proelia]

Clichys been really good defensively today

 

[stan bowles]

No idea how we're ahead. Worst half we've played this season considering the opposition. So many individuals off colour . Anyway, we're a goal up so let's hope we kill them off second half.

 

[jimharri]

Superb record from scoring from set pieces this season. I think that teams are so aware of our threat in open play they switch off on set pieces and boy have we punished them!
Very lucky mind, as much as the Bony goal shouldn't have stood, neither should this one... Not complaining however....

Didn't look offside.

Maybe just, not as much as the Swansea goal on wednesday.

Don't get me wrong - I'm pretty happy with the result, and the play of our team actually...just pointing out the obvious though, nothing major :-)

Calm down love.

 

[Hari84]

Garcia, Milner and Dzeko poor so far. Hoping to see Lopes 2nd half.

Find an error,

 

[samharris]

Its an awkward away FA cup tie that we are winning..

get in..

never forget the balloons!!!!!!

 

[Bilboblue]

Wasn't really an assist, he was too busy getting his header off target.

It will go down as an assist, therefore WAS an assist but feel free to carry on hating while the rest of us (bar a few) get fully behind the team eh?

;o)

I'm a Plum.

Indeed you are, still, you have enough company in the haters lounge ;o)

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I think the assembled throng of BT apparatchiks have written that goal off. I expect we'll be back at 0-0 when second half kicks off!

 

[Puppet Master Silva]

Garcia, Milner and Dzeko poor so far. Hoping to see Lopes 2nd half.

Find an error,

Are you suggesting I find an error in any of these guys play in the first half? Because I'll have to go and get my list...

 

[blueinsa]

Clichys been really good defensively today

As Boyata has but 442 demands much more of the pair of them and they dont offer us anything going forward im afraid.

Knew Id get one at least one.

haha.

Plum.

Hahaha - nice one :-)

He's had a good half and the assist is obviously his, if he meant that though it's an unbelievable header and much trickier than hitting the target.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Fernandhino is and as to be on his game today, at times he looks as though he is on his own against 3 in the middle.

I am nervous with Boyata at the back yet he looks half decent going forward.
