[bigblue]

Nice lads.

Downs:
Pantilimon
Razak

Ups:
Scapuzzi
Suarez

The only thing down about Razak was his cramp. He may have given the ball away when breaking forward, but he did the job of a DM very well. Good tackles, hardwork, and kept possession most of the time

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Get in wonder who's next when is the draw?

I hope we get the rags

[Beeks]

Noon Saturday.

I'd piss myself if it was the rags away

[Green & Blue]

Really good result and good to see others get a run out and again producing the goods when needs be.
The squad is really rotating well and doing so in style.

[ruralblue]

Good game!. Bit nervous about Panti but great to see some of the other young ones have a run out!. Johno motm and deserved!

[shawzy]

That 16yr old Rekik is gonna be a fuckin class player..Very steady at the back tonight.One to lookout for.

I agree i liked Razak especially on the ball, needs improvement in the tackling department. Suarez was my fav even with the little touches he had he looked impressive.

Razak did absolutely fine and what was expected of him. He did lose the ball under pressure a few times because he wasn't aware enough of where the challenge was coming from and once or twice he got a little excited with attempted passes but he was fine.

Scapuzzi also ok if a little on the periphery of things but he almost got a goal (OG given) and got a nice assist where I thought he stayed onside really well.

Overall I thought AJ was excellent,Kolarov really good going forward.

[ashton287]

Job done.

In style.

I wouldn't call 30 minutes of effort in the middle of the game and doing fuck all either side of that 30 minutes winning in style.

If they pulled the finger out in the second half and made a tiny bit of effort it would of been 8 or 9. Doesn't matter against wolves but it's the kind of attitude that lost us the com shield.

Complacency (would be very easy the way we are playing for the team to become complacent) could fuck us over big time and bob needs to make sure they are putting in 100% for the full 90 minutes.

It was nice to hear what is basically our 3rd team compared to barca after one of the goals(4th?)

I think you will find there was no OG about it mate..he blasted in the rebound.

(edit) off the goalie so unfortunately it will go down as an own goal ;(

after we went 1-4 up tonight I've had a feeling we will play them in QF.

[Nige]

Great result and happy some of the fringe players got game time. If I wasn't still on a high from Sunday I'd suggest a few things for Bobby Manc to look at on the video/recording.

Nige got caught out a few times. Quite unusual for him, maybe ring rusty.
Kolarov is 1% better at defending than Bridge, but has a great left foot.
Aj is fantastic with the ball but if I was Zabba he'd be getting a right earful due to his lack of tracking back - keeping him out of the first 11 in my opinion.
Panti in goal - Ohh dear.
Razak was awesome and a real hot prespect
Dzeko broke up the play, created & scored, what more can we ask of the big fella?

I'm hoping for Liverpool at home.

[Dameerto]

I think we'll get the RAGs or Red scouse.

[Nigels Tackle]

crystal palace away would be nice....

[david yearsley]

Things could get even better - Rossi just hobbled off with what looks like a nasty knee problem v Madrid

[Blue in the face]

This keeper is spilling the ball far too often, good opposition like Mario Gomez would rip him apart.

Its the same as Joe has done in the chumps league. Maybe its the goalkeeping coach thats needs to be replaced. Get SOF in.

[Ted Hughes]

I think we'll get the RAGs or Red scouse.

If we play our proper defence + six others v those sides or v Arse, Chelsk/Everton whoever, we are favourites, home or away. If we play Kolo & Savic, they will tear us a new arsehole & we will hand the pisstake rights back unless we score six again. They will run straight through us.

Savic is superb on the ball, but defensively he was below the standard of a Tony Vaughan or Prior. He came out for everything & won nothing, leaving a fucking big hole behind him, which would have Michael Owen or Suarez or even Sturridge in it. He stood & watched when the ball was loose in the box & he picked up nobody. Kolo ran around like Frank Sinclair on angel dust. Boateng was a liability but he was much much better than the standard those two are setting at the moment.

Please Bob, don't hand the rags an opportunity to get their own back. Let's bury them again & keep the psychological advantage.
