Match reaction vs Boro

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Easy win.

Bradford next please.

[fakeyank]

One of the best wins of the season

[Niall_Quinn]

Easy as you like. Would have liked a few more goals. Seven or so.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should have scored a lot more, bit wasted with no GD involved though.

Özil MotM I reckon.

[Master Splinter]

A mauling in all but score.

We did ease off a bit and were sloppy with the final ball or finish, but their keeper prevented a rout. 8-0 would have been a fair reflection of the game.

Ozil, Cazorla, Gibbs and Chambers were excellent and despite their occasional iffy decision-making, so too were Giroud and Sanchez.

Blackburn at home please.

[Globalgunner]

Good performance. Not great. Onwards we go!

[WMUG]

Blackburn at home please.
Went so well last time.

Bradford away please (so I can go).

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Reading at home would be good too.

[AFC Leveller]

Good professional performance, solid all over and should have scored a bit more, but we just dont spank teams these days and lack that ruthlessness after going 2-0 up. similar to the brighton and lesicester games but luckily today we didnt make any mistakes and restricted them to very few chances.

[Master Splinter]

Went so well last time.

Bradford away please (so I can go).

Bradford's pitch would be a nightmare to play on. Worst possible draw.

Didn't watch the game but happy for the result . Would have liked someone to describe Gabriel first game . How did he coped? Does he looked a real deal? Was he comfortable with Kos?

[Niall_Quinn]

He displayed competence in the little he had to do. One minor mistake, one excellent tackle, one major foul when he hauled down a striker who probably would have gione past him. He was booked for that. Boro had a couple of chances towards the end but otherwise the defence kept everything well clear of the goal.

[Master Splinter]

The Gabriel yellow came as a result of a poor Sanchez pass. He made the right decision to wipe the Middlesbrough player out. Cynicism is a quality our players severely lack.

[WMUG]

Yeah, but I live in York.

[Marc Overmars]

Pretty routine win. Good stuff.

Lets have another pub team please, Liverpool and United can wait.

[AFC Leveller]

all 11 players touched the ball for the first goal. quality stuff.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

It's probably a little irrational but I'd rather avoid Bradford.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Also, he makes Martin Keown look like Brad Pitt.

It's ok, Gervinho's gone.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

You have a point there...

Thanks

How ?

[fakeyank]

When is the draw for the next round?

[Niall_Quinn]

Neil Ashton's match report. Ozil's form must be killing the cunt. Sad little man.

Saw the highlights this morning, all looked nice and routine.
On we go.

[BOBN]

Whats funny is these clowns actually thought they were gonna do something. I dont give a damn about City, theres levels to this. Did their dumb fook manager think hes still at Real Madrid?

Manager after the game:


"It could be that the atmosphere (amongst the players) was very exciting and everyone was expecting another win. The players maybe thought it was going to be easier because we played very well against Manchester City two or three weeks ago."

Before:

“It’s going to be a massive game because everybody is expecting that we can beat them. Obviously we can beat them because we played very well against Liverpool and we beat Manchester City.

“But if we go there thinking it’s going to be
easy and we can beat them without playing
our best, we could make a big, big mistake.”

[The Emirates Gallactico]

tbf given the rather strong team Wenger put out, especially in attack, I wouldn't be surprised if Wenger was concerned as well. They did beat City and push Liverpool to pelanties.

A bit perplexed about Sanchez starting though ...... Wenger basically hinted that Alexis was getting fatigued and wasn't himself yet started him when there really was no need with our options.

All in a good solid win. Won without really having to try that much or expending that much energy though wasteful in front of goal again.

Giroud is quality as well. He's improved so much.

Blackburn or Reading at Home please.

[Maestro]

good result and glad our backbone were not troubled, ensuring a safe and non-traumatic debut for Gabriel. we have three world class players at the club, they could have done more to rack up the goals.

Brilliant finish from Bif, if he worked his socks of he would be a real handful.

can we get a decent draw please
