What a sh*t game. I think that's the first time ever in my life I actually wanted the opposition to score a goal past us. If they had it might have been a better game. I was bored to tears.
It won't be popular me saying this but once again I was unimpressed with our fringe players/youngsters.
Moreno is finished. He might have won the pen but he was garbage.
Stewart is also finished. Had enough chances now, he's not good enough.
Woodburn and ejaria weren't involved either. Kept it far too simple, they were too cautious. I know it's hard playing against a team who sit two walls behind the ball, but this may well be one of few chances they get in a red shirt, why not carry the ball forward, take someone on, have a shot? Too many sideway passes. I'm not writing either off yet they have hardly featured and are very young, but next time they play they have to do more, take risks, take a gamble.
After he struggled on Sunday, I thought TAA recovered and played very well.
Felt sorry for both Sturridge and origi who had nil service. Perhaps both could have done more to involve themselves but as the pundits rightly picked up on it, we were going sideways for 90 minutes.
It's pretty embarrassing we have played 180 minutes against Plymouth and haven't scored in open play, but look, we're through so just put this one behind us and move on.
A much tougher game on Saturday.
