Not sure what Gomez did wrong ? Thought he was fine first half, then he was put at LB again (didn't do a lot wrong there either for me), but he really isn't a LB.

so you missed him giving the ball away then?

I think we'll be better when Stones, Rodri, KDB, Haaland, Bernardo, Walker, Dias & Ederson return

Maybe the co commentator should be told. I’m sure he thought it was our full strength team and they were desperate to win

Fair fucks from Howe. Praised us. Said result was right. Can’t argue. He wants this and this could be the cup like we won in 2011.

I’ve never seen a person talk like he does though, where the teeth don’t separate. It’s like his top and bottom teeth are joined, and he just moves his lips. Weird.

I hope you sleep well......

Sky bigging up a 3rd round toon victory for the ages, in a cup no-one gives a shit about.

Can anybody name the teams that got through the 3rd round of the Spanish/Italian/German/French/Dutch equivalent of our fizzy cup?

Nah, didn't think so.

Yawn.

I loved winning this cup...1976 final fking incredible

This season has seen a change of players running and carrying the ball in straight lines. I think Grealish is going to struggle if he continues to kill the momentum by slowing down and going backwards all the time.

Oscar Bobb was really impressive , love the balance and close control positive way of playing that he has.

But we either lose this or lose the quarter-final. Better to just get it over with.

Who says so, we could have gone all the way. It gives those on the periphery plenty of experience.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

If Pep was bothered he would have kept Alvarez on and given the Viking ten minutes in case we equalised. I thought our second string players did well first half, but the Carabao Cup is one too many, and I suspect champions league qualifiers will be allowed to drop out in years to come. Fair play to Newcastle though

 

[K-Bo]

It's for the best, with the CWC we would have ended up going out anyway

 

[bondsman]

Joelinton is one of the shittest and scummiest players in the Orem. He needs someone to give him a taste of what he dishes out. Dinho would have sorted him

 

[ardwickboy]

At least now we will have 2 free midweek rests which can benefit the team.
