Delighted to beat that team, can't stand their tactics and how they go about the game. Just simply could not stand to support that crap and thankfully the better team won.
On to our lads, thought we were solid at the back, dealt with almost everything they tried to throw, push, barge and foul at us, besides the one obstruction on Pepe which we can't complain too much about as we have Kuyt doing it at the other end on every opportunity, the problem was the lack of marking on Crouch, unforgivable and punished. Besides the goal we had no real problems and our back 5 did really well, was impressed with how well Jay did alongside Stevie and didn't look a bad pairing, Downing had a quiet first half but did much bet 2nd half and took his goal really well and actually appeared in the box a few times which was a nice change. Thought Suarez was his usual skillful best, great goal and many more nice bits of play, hope he didn't pick up anything near the end because he's really back to something like his best, just needs a better strike partner, sorry Andy but you plodded the entire game, best thing he did was a couple of crosses. In and around the box didn't look a menace and frankly looked 2nd favourite for all 50/50's which is disappointing.
Delighted to be in the semi's whoever we get, off to Wembley again, love it! Well in lads!!!
