Armstrong looked good. Intelligent run for the second goal too

You’ll be suggesting he’s saved us from needing to go out and buy a right back next. That would see the thread collapse in fume.

I will do no such thing, I just think it’s crass talking that way about a man who’s always given his all for the club on and off the pitch

 

[Toffeeslam]

Alvarez for me based on his first half. Especially, that Exocet.

Who ???

Seamus is a warrior.

Football is a simple game really. Get past the full back and cross for incoming forwards to score.

Hoofing in hope from further out is usually lapped up by defences.

Clough's Forest won their trophies with lots of goals coming from John Robertson drilling crosses from near the end line.

Latch got loads of his goals from similar crosses coming from Dave Thomas.

Enjoyed that. Well done blues.

I like that there’s more players who’ll take a risk on the ball. Grealish Alcaraz Dibling Ndiaye, their first thought is to try and get on the half turn and drive forward. It’s much better than the backwards safety first passing we do way too much of.

That pass by Jimmy Tunnel was the sex.

Not a first.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

United very, very jammy that they've forced pens there by the sounds of it..

 

[BlueShark]

Delighted with a comfortable cup win for once.

Job done. Win the game, no injuries and some new partnerships starting to form.
