Drab but it's the result that counts. Shame Diallo didn't get on in extra time

I think we still have that record. 81 crosses in 90 minutes.I was actually expecting a night of crosses raining into our box.
They usually get nice easy draws so we’ll get Leicester / Wolves / Everton / Spurs awayCity or Chelsea away in next round
There’s no justification for him coming off before the other guys. Particularly Rashford who frankly has been appalling for weeks.Greenwood was my man of the match for the 90 minutes, him coming off was predictable and baffling.
I was thinking about league goals but looking at this list I’m surprised McTominay is upto 7 now. Martial minutes per goal is terrible for a centre forward. Greenwood is obviously hugely disappointing after last season.
I was thinking about Van De Beek and how his game seems like a mirror opposite of Bruno’s. Where Bruno is trying to constantly probe with his passing (almost to a fault)VdB is neat and tidy and perhaps not doing enough. Bruno wants to do all his work with the ball whereas VdB seems to be best with his off the ball movement.Martial worked a bit but that was blunt. Overall happy as from when Cavani came on. We looked a team. The less said about the match before that the better. McT can sure can find the net. All those doubting that sub from Ole got their answer. Fred doing his actual job perfectly, not trying to be a Bruno-Pogba hybrid.
On to the next round.
Also is vdb going to make it? I know how long it took Fred to get going but surely there has to be flashes by now? We played the most tedious one paced sideways passing football with him on, albeit too high up.
Then West Ham was really really really really bad.Ok, that was bad, really really bad!
Hmmm maybe, but I also noticed how week he was (physically) inside our box a couple of times.Lindelof MOM for me,
HahahahahhaahWe prevented Mrs Brown’s Boys from airing so I’m absolutely delighted with that.
Did arsenal recently beat it ?I think we still have that record. 81 crosses in 90 minutes.
I don't care about west ham, I care about our performance.Then West Ham was really really really really bad.
Have seen us much worse. It was an average game, nothing more nothing less.
We had good control, but our possession play was to safe and way to slowe. We sometimes need more risky passes and more play on the first moves. Right now the man with the ball hesitate a lot and his teammates are waiting to much.
Rashford's decision-making is unbelievably frustrating but at least he's scoring a few goals. But worse than Martial? A "striker" who yet again proved that he gets far too many minutes just for him to constantly run into more walls than a Trump wet dream? A "striker" who somehow avoids being subbed despite shooting more scowls than net-rippling balls? Perhaps Ole keeps getting threatening phone calls about 'playing "the French Pele" or else' from the Glazers while they're off supporting a team who wins trophies.Thank god that's over.
Rashford got the assist but he was our worst player by far. Disappointed he wasn't hooked instead of Greenwood.
McTominay with 7 goals this season, that's a good effort.
The Cavani signing has put his nose out of joint. That sums up his attitude for me, the fact a 34 year old striker is showing more desire and determination to make an impact in games in comparison to what Martial serves up is startling.Genuinely looked excellent most of last season. What has happened to him this year? He’s gotta be sold in the summer if this keeps up.
Someone in the match day thread tried to tell me that Moyes was on a level with Ole as a manager and would have done just as well if given more timeSuch a snooze fest that, Moyes 'the Chosen One' showing what we are missing out on
We prevented Mrs Brown’s Boys from airing so I’m absolutely delighted with that.
