Got to be happy with that, a full team out and still won AWAY, well done blues

 

[Dutch Toffee]

To be fair, Howard never had a save.

Agreed, think we did great, given the circumstances. They do have a decent team though and we pretty much restricted them to ten minutes of real pressure, with a fantasy football team.

Oh and a few points, Jo??????????? CHRIST, Hibbert did ok, but got turned far too many times, would get a new arse ripped in the Prem. Did Osman play?

Thats alll really.

Yeah, but we won! So... bothered?

To be fair, Howard never had a save.

Only because of their poor finishing. They took the game to us pretty much most of the game and were creating chances and looking dangerous, just couldn't trouble Tim when they had the chance.

Overall we played pants but scored 2 of our chances and that was enough. I certainly wouldn't say we deserved to win it on the balance of things.

And i believe the table is this :

1 : Everton : Pl 2 W 2 P 6 F 6 A 1
2 : Benfica : Pl 2 W 1 P 3 F 2 A 1
3 : AEK Athens : Pl 2 W 1 P 3 F 1 A 4
4 : BATE : PL 2 W 0 P 0 F1 A 4

Didn't Benfica win 2-0 two weeks ago?

 

[Welton Toffee]

Not at all.

Good man.

Under the circumstances, absolutely terrific win. Buzzing.

ROBBED EM I TELLS YA ROBBED!

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Whhhhaeeeeyyyyy Get in. We were crap but 3pts and a win will all it say in the record books.

 

[dublinbluenose]

More a feeling of "got away with it" tonight I think.

Champions play crap and win, simples

 

[ToxtethBlue]

I wouldn't say we robbed them at all to be honest, we had a game plan and stook to it. I've got to say though, FC BATE dissapointed me, not impressive at all.

We did really well considering the team. Hibbert at centre back, Osman and Fellaini holding in a 4-4-2, Gosing at right back and a half fit Yakubu upfront.

Distin was dominant at the back, Hibbert put a good shift in, Fellaini had a good game in midfield and Bilyaletdinov showed the odd glimpse of quality here and there, aswell as a very good workrate.

Champions play crap and win, simples

We've done that the last 2 games now, pretty much nailed on champions this season.

 

[Neiler]

Away win in Belerus in Europe - in rain and a heavy pitch - job done - that game would have done us no harm at all.

Except of course for Sunday - weary legs - hopefully we get a few back by then.
