Well played boys, a very good win last night - really professional from the off. We were under a bit of pressure after the Burnley result too. If we got knocked out last night then there would have been a reaction amongst fans.
It was good to see such a strong line up. There is no point in resting anybody at this point in the season, we need some match practice and to get our fitness levels up. The only risk are injuries/suspensions - hopefully emre isn't out for too long. It was good that we gave Burton the respect they deserve and it was good to see us treating this competition seriously.
I also hope that after the Burnley game Jürgen said to a few of our lads well that was f**king sh*t so you can forget having the night off on Tuesday because you're f**king working!!
Great result and a very strong performance. We breezed it and I don't think we got out of second gear. I'm a very happy red this morning.
The only two comments I will make are:
1. I'm really going for Henderson now. He annoys me f**king sh*t loads. I think he's absolute garbage. Even against Burton he looks bang average and I think its a f**king farce he is our skipper. I actually think his best position is on the right side of midfield, but as a central midfielder who carries so much responsibility he is god damn awful.
2. I've been very pleasantly surprised with Mane. I made my feelings clear when he came here in that I didn't rate him and I thought it was another tragic signing by the club. He was sh*t hot in pre season, sh*t hot against arsenal, we badly missed him against burnley, and he was sh*t hot last night. Keep it up lad. Brilliant performances so far.
