What's our team? Cant find it..tks

[Spurge]

I like the look of Garcia - quietly efficient and good positional sense.

[30yeargloryhunter]

Goalie has the last second kicking routine perfected that Joe Hart has... Must be tactical

[blues2win]

Fuck silly hand ball and a penalty. 3-1.

[Moonchesteri]

What's our team? Cant find it..tks

Haug 1
Maffeo 2 - someone 3 - Oliver 4 - Angelino 5
Nemane 7 - Garcia 10 - Bryan 6 - Barker 11
Buckley 16 - Celina 9

Not 100% sure about the formation though

[blues2win]

Wonderful pass from Garcia wasted. Should be 1-1. Actually should be well ahead over the match as a whole.

I think that someone is humphreys

Fellaini just got booked for them

[twosips]

Half time change hasn't really helped sadly. Kinda lost the midfield battle.

That was arguably a red for the fellaini impersonator.

It wasn't the first nasty tackle for Leicester player either. The one on Angelino maybe ten mins ago deserved at least a yellow too

it wasn't a red
he deserves one for his haircut though

[blues2win]

Well done Buckley. Deserved equaliser on full time.

[Nigels Tackle]

they fight to the end
...just like the 1st team used to.

[blues2win]

And a penalty from Barker to make it a 2-1 win on the night. 5-1 on aggregate. Roll on the final!

[Spurge]

Barker from the spot 2-1 and with a strong right foot - thought he'd bang it on his left.

2 goals in injury time to snatch victory from a losing position.......rings a bell!

Fantastic.

[blues2win]

Tremendous run and cross from you guessed it Angelino for the first and a surprising right footed penalty kick blast from Barker for the winner.

[blues2win]

Jason Wilcox very critical of the performance but praises terrific leadership of Angelino and rightly so. Many Premiership teams would stick him in their first team squad next year of that there is no doubt. I'll be surprised if he doesn't play for Spain one day. There I've said it.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Good game that and it has to be noted that we were missing 3 massive players for us in Boadu, Ambrose and Tosin Adarabioyo.

Overall a very competent performance and I thought a deserved win even tho it was 2 injury time goals.We really should have scored a couple in the first half when we were all over them, Angelino got forward but not in the same gung ho fashion he can do but we saw enough to know what an attacking threat he is and that link and cross for Buckley's goal was superb.

Barker was quality in that first half but just lacked the real killer pass/finish or was it just a top finisher missing in the middle.I have to say I enjoyed Garcia's performance. Maybe nothing too special,apart from that great pass late on , but he linked well and has been said his positional sense is very good. Quality player.

I felt Bryan was very good tonight and Wood was doing ok but both got booked for fairly reckless challenges. Humphreys ok but he isn't a really dominant center half. Oliver sort of ok but he worried me with his passing and then did the silly hand up to give the pen away.Maffeo I liked as I always do. Doesn't commit to hopeful challenges but gets his body shape right when holding players up and times interceptions very well.

Not impressed by Celina tonight.I know he is a very talented footballer but he seems to need to do clever things when simple is best.We lost the game a bit because he took over from Wood in central midfield and Leicester's strength started to win the day a bit.

[blues2win]

Looking at the two legs of the final who do we play at centre back so that Maffeo plays right back where he belongs? What do you think Doug?

If everyone is fit it will be Adarabioyo with Humphreys as center backs without a doubt.Don't know what Tosin's injury is but I hope it's very minor. Hope Ambrose is back too but I think I saw mention of surgery today on twitter.
