Plymouth Argyle (H) | FA Cup | Post Match Thread

Got it done in the end.

O’Reilly looks like he could be a great player, we need to keep him - no Palmer situation again.

If Eddie leaves I don’t think Ortega is good enough to be our first choice.

Bernardo and Gundo are done, really need to leave in summer. I’d prefer we keep Grealish but play him centrally.

Gutted Ake injured again. Vitor Reis looked decent though!
Were they pronouncing his Vitor's last name as "Hace?"
 
Overall poor, we needed two set pieces to break through second from bottom of the championship. It shows that we no pace or zero direct players on the pitch that yet again, if a team as poor as Plymouth can contain us pretty easily. The slow, boring build up days are gone and Pep needs to wise up to it. Glad KDB got his goal but it is a hard watch him struggling against that level. Into the next round though, no CL to stop us playing our full strength the rest of this comp now, we chucked a load of semis in the past with having a difficult CL tie cropping up
Overall poor ... sums up this post. Urging Pep "to wise up" is never a good line btw.
 
Weird,

Had to relocate to Level 1 and was just underneath Level 2.

Honestly, never heard a thing from Plymouth above.

Levels on a Stadium swallow up any atmosphere created from certain areas.
The same , relocated from 219 to 121 , so they were above us, didn't sound that loud really .Boring songbook as well .. Football in a library (yawn) / Shall we sing a song for you/ Same old City always cheating/ just a shit man united/is there a fire drill ... anyone clock the one the gold lame jacket , he looked a right twat !
 
The last time he looked good on a consistent basis is when Ake played left back.
He doesn’t get consistent game time anyway so it’s a moot point. He linked up well with Gvardiol against Madrid and would’ve caused them more problems if he didn’t get injured.
 
Ask Pep. He’s certainly deserved more based his performances in the last 2 months than those who get picked every game like Foden, Bernardo, Gundo and de Bruyne.
The above have not started most games recently.
2 were better than him yesterday in my opinion.

And they shouldn't have been because we finally have Gonzalez and they just haven't been good enough to keep getting opportunities to play.
 
Good start but think we need to see him defending first against good opposition before making judgement.
Yeah, not tested yesterday but clearly class with the ball. Eighteen years old so I hope some of our fans don't rush to early judgement. Some gobby fans near me were screaming for Khusanov to be taken off after the first few minutes of the Chelsea game. Looks physically wiry and clearly an all-rounder so may well fit the bill for the Pep way of having defenders who are equally comfortable in midfield. Me, I'm impressed.
 
Plymouth fans saying Manchester (one of Europe’s historically important and architecturally impressive cities) is a shithole need to have a good look at their own city. I’ve been there and I can confirm that it IS MOST DEFINITELY a shithole.
I was born in Withington Hospital and grew up in Chorlton-on-Medlock, Hulme, Whitefield, various other parts of the country, then Whalley Range and various other places in and around Manchester. Manchester city centre never seemed to be a shithole when I was growing up - in fact I was proud of the place. Parts of the city centre are fine, but large swathes are gross - you never know what you're walking in, neglected old buildings, all kinds of societal problems. Anyone visiting Manchester and getting off the train at Victoria or Piccadilly will feel like they're visiting a litter festival.
 
At this point it appears that you're only going to get Ake and Stones for 2-3 games before they miss another month. I love them, as they are phenomenal players but it's probably time to let them go strictly due to their injury situations.
Do you think they would be able to Dance every week without picking up.an injury? ;-)
