...Keane MoM. Thought DCL made a huge difference when he came on.

Im happy for if you can be happy with that.

Cup competitions are about winning. I'll be happy until we stop winning.

Obviously they know they will need to improve but it's hardly time to panic.

Credit to DCL for changing the game, motm. Also I don't think Rooney was awful like some people do, other than being slow to shoot. He nicely with Klaasen and Sandro and made some good flicks to baines.

Crying in my beer mate. We've only done exactly what we were meant to do but yeah, gutted.

Under Bobby we would have lost 4-3, after being 3-0 up. We're through and that's all that matters.

Just remembered after that piece of crap game this was only to get through to another qualifying round.


Dear me.

RK is looking like a clone of Walter Smith, and Mike Walker with moneylol
It will have to get better than this more signings needed without doubt it all might click once the season starts

Looks a quality defender. Will be our signing of the summer.

Grumpy fruit.

Midfield isnt right at all.

 

[KevMirallas]

Not the sharpest, but very professional. Job done without conceding a goal or suffering an injury, could hardly ask for more.

The best part is the incredible irony of Calvert-Lewin, the most wet bed-inducing player of preseason, scoring the winner in the most wet bed-inducing game of preseason. Maybe the lesson is to just cool your jets on players and the team a bit?

 

[a bell maul]

Got to give it to you mate, you're a trier.

yes, I used to play rugby on the wing, and certainly scored a few!

 

[balggy]

We look in pre season mode but it it pre season.

 

[PeregrineT]

Interesting, 5 of the 11 teams playing today who were seeded above us got knocked out. Still a longshot hope to have another 6 or 7 lose next round to get us into the 1st pot, if we win.

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

That's four games and then off into the group stages. What a 'kin palaver that competition is.

The competition itself is a 'kin joke mate. (early stages I mean, not the whole thing). 100% agree. We ain't any great shakes right now either. But we're getting better and we won. So chin up eh.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Anyone know if we will be seeded for the draw? Some tough potential ties if not.

Yep we're seeded mate.

Davies was excellent, Pickford and Keane done their job well as did Jags and Williams.

Really poor from Gueye and Morgan though, they've really got to pick up the pace, more Morgan in fact as that was a sluggish, pedestrian effort. For me Davies still looks a cut above the pair of them, great energy, looks for the ball, find his man 99% of the time.

Still time for it to click but I can't help think it's a waste if all Morgan is going to do is patrol a 10 yard space on the pitch and play 5 yard balls to the left and right of him when I'm certain he can do a lot more than that.

Still, more minutes on the pitch for them all and looks like all of them got through unscathed
