Other than Mykolenko's poor showing that was a temendous effort today.
Been since Martinez was here that we've dominated possession like we did in that first half.
Inventive football too.
He did everything tonight that he did at Derby last season , short passes, longer through balls, taking the ball and turning, tackling when necessary. And a bit of maturity too, when he lost the ball he managed to poke it back to Tarks , last...
🤣 Purely an exercise on getting him on the pitch to sample the new surroundings in a game that was theoretically won, no? We’ve seen worse debuts/cameos - the Besic one vs Chelsea in the 6-3 way back when comes to mind, Keeley if you’re longer in...
Would've liked to see us switch the play more, wingers were completely free at times.
Good exercise in playing through a team that's sitting back, we were patient and didn't hoof it.
Nice to get the win and get through to the next round, 3 thoughts.
First half Grealish was amazing again, in defence and attack, everything good came through him really.
Not many teams will be that defensive against us for 90 minutes this season...
Genuinely thought that the entire team had good spells in the game there. Alcaraz, Garner, Armstrong, Coleman, Barry & Grealish all especially positive. Travers and the centre halves pretty comfortable throughout.
Awesome to see the midfield lads putting in some quality work, making the recruitment team’s job of bringing in upgrades even harder when they’re playing this well 😁
