In the hat for the next round. Job done

Totally Agree job done next round no injuries

[Original Dub]

Job done. No injuries and in the hat for the draw.

I would have liked a stomping performance ahead of the Derby, but I'll take a return to form IN the Derby instead.

If we trounce the rags, we'll steam roller the rest of the season imo

[Beefymcfc]

That’ll do. Difficult watch with these teams who play a back 9, especially with a few coming back and lack of partnerships. Pep needs to get them to speed it up. Getting away and then waiting for them to get back in position isn’t what you call ‘On the break’.

Will take it and fair play to the Posh for trying to play later on.

IF that was Foden getting his spark back then I'll take that as good enough from that poor game.
Looks like he's putting the effort in again trying to run things.

Post match interview Jack said he and Phil were sat next to each other on the coach watching Messi videos and that one of them was like their assist and goal.

Keane sets em up...we knock em down.

[Nick]

Because foden actually played in a decent position for a change

Our number one fan Roy is right. If we don't buck up and stop their breaks they will kill us - as they have before. Thankfully Walker should be with us

Take your blue tinted specs off - Keane is spot on , the scum have done us plenty of times on the break, it’s the only way they can win ! We need to buck our ideas up as we have played shite the last few games and we need to sort our shit out .

[blues2win]

We played 5 up front in the first half. The moment Foden dropped deeper we improved. Obviously not a coincidence. Grealish looked better too.

True. We also looked better with Stones/ Laporte 2nd half than Dias/ Ake 1st which is what he went with against Chelsea. I was gobsmacked when he didn't play Ruben that game but it worked a treat. It's going to be interesting if everyone is fit. I'd have PPs team personally except I'd have Laporte for Stones but as someone else has said I'm pretty sure he'll play Sterling so Gundo or Mahrez will probably miss out.

[blues2win]

Can’t see Mahrez missing out. He’s such a danger. Bernardo and Kevin will be back. I’d play Laporte plus another tbh. He’s so important with his distribution. They’ll play deep and look to hit us on the break with pace.

That is where they will try to break us, on him. Usual long balls behind him are a real threat, with Cancelo playing up.
I can't see the same bromance between Ruby and Laporte, that is why I would play Stones (if he is fit and awake).

[stupot]

Laporte's distribution is the best by a mile. Don't get you on the bromance PP. We've got the best defensive record in the league.

Mentioned a few times in the past, Stu.
Great distribution, but he is a poor defender in my book. Doesn't know how to bully attackers, has brainfarts. I just don't trust him as a defender in big, big games. I am always afraid he will fuckup somehow.

I think Stones and Dias were the best defensive partnership in the world, last year, but Johnny fucked up at some point and ruined it.
Love our boys, but I think some of them should never start a big game. It's not hate, I just think they are very limited and predictable.

My opinion.

Yep, I know we're not going to agree on this one. For me when Stones has time to think he dithers too much and tends to play the ball backwards mainly. Laporte scored the winner in a Cup Final last year whilst keeping a clean sheet the other side. Game of opinions..

sixth round draw tomorrow night before the toffees game.
