I enjoyed it
yes absolutely....Royal was sharp. doing the dirty work and staying focused throughout. Could've been man of the match.Not great. In fairness, Burnley were much more sensible than I expected and Kompany has gone up in my estimation.
Thought Emerson was brilliant. Cut out a lot of balls all night. When people were asking “why him instead of the kids?”, tonight is why. Good on him.
Davies was good too. Porro too and what a hit. Bentancur okay.
Through without a replay, will take that all day long.
Typical Peh, brick or brilliant in the space of 3 mins.PEH was sloppy but he did two brilliant things. It was his excellent pass that put us on the attack for the goal while his block at the end saved us.

I'm happy he came on.Typical Peh, brick or brilliant in the space of 3 mins.

Throwing all the youngsters on nearly cost us the game, plus Holberg who was sloppy. Gill and Sessegnon continually giving it away or losing possession. Gill makes me tear my hair out , never releases the ball early.
Lack of options and goalscorers is a big worry.
We need at least one more decent draw , preferably at home , then we might actually have a chance in this competition.
haha yeah same here.....was sure he was going to do thatFor a brief few seconds I honestly thought Lee Dixon was going to give it to one of the Burnley defenders, which would have been the icing on the cake of his commentating tonight
Johnson is the 10% manThe weird thing is it's not like having Solomon and Perisic would make much difference at all. Johnson doesn't have the cutting edge yet but it's lurking in there somewhere, a shame with Veliz but we know he's not really ready to start in the league anyways. I am coming round to the idea of getting a proper first choice forward in because we look short up there.
Don't think the youngsters looked out of place though, it was PEH who went between the sublime and ridiculous...
I still can't believe the position that Ange has Skipp playing, he's a useful player but not a threatening one, it's painful to watch him milling around without purpose.
And we definitely need a song for Porro, he deserves it. It's well overdue.
Proper scrappy win and (hopefully) no injuries. I'll take that.
Ended the game with just four players who would be in our preferred starting 11.
They were greatDavies and Royal were decent, so much so, I forgot we were playing with 4 full backs
Yeah, that's a fear I just can't shake this season. Bentancour got a bit of a knock to his knee, then he was subbed - the pessimist in me drew instant conclusions.Hope we dont read anything in the morning reporting x or y player has picked up a niggle, as with the return of VDV and Sess I think we are down to just 7 (just...he says) unavailable.
Haha I thought we battled well, won all the 50/50s, passed the ball well out from the back, attacked quickly at times (until the final 3rd), didn't let them string any moves together etc.masochist
The lad Sheff United got in on loan would be better than Scarlett and Richy most of the timeWe should consider loaning in a striker. There must be a striker out there available for loan.
