From the sofa

[pommpey]

Fucking outstanding. So proud of the club, the team and the fans.

Sheffield United have finally arrived. I can't really see a foot we put wrong to be honest. Arsenal are equipped with formidable expensive and talented individuals and we made them look individual and cheap. If the Liverpool game was an example as to what we can give this division, then tonight was the proof. To make Obameyang look like he was pissed off and struggling, to completely negate the supposed mastery of Lacazette and to make them sit in that away dressing room and get a bollocking from Emre is testament to Wilder, Knill and the boys he shaped to bring us up from Div One.

Not marking out of ten. Too difficult to take points off them.

Henderson. Not much to do but when he was called to do it, did it like an England keeper
Baldock. Completely bossed the right side
Basham. As ever, outstanding
Egan. A fucking colossus
O'Connell. Outperformed anything coming at him
Stevens. They were shit scared of him and he pegged them back, big style
Lundstrum. Fuck me. Talk about go from 'someone on our books' to 'can't play without him'
Norwood. Again, a pivotal role
Fleck. Ran his fucking socks off. Best I have seen him play. Unlucky not to score
McGoldrick. Deceptively good. The amount he does when he hasn't got the ball is understated
Mousett. The only player, despite the goal, who looked ill-at-ease and yet to settle in

Sharp. Fucking great to see him back. Tigrish and typically Billy
Freeman. Did his job well and covered some ground when we went to 5-4-1 and came under pressure.
McBurnie. Still an expensive Bambi at the moment

CWAK: Thank you.

Up the Blades. Ninth.

In fairness, I do enjoy Deadbat's reports. It gives the entire picture. Over the past several years, it is essential reading to exiles.

And I am struggling to see what the Jocks were whinging about ref: Fleck. He was fucking all over them tonight. You could see their midfielders when they were on the ball how they couldn't wait to get rid of it if he was closing them down.

Just look at where we got tonight's team from:

Hendo: Man U on loan
Baldock: MK Dons
Basham: Blackpool
Egan: Brentford
O'Connell: Brentford
Stevens: Pompey
Fleck: Coventry
Norwood: Brighton
Lundstrum: Oxford United
McGoldrick: Ipswich
Mousett: Bournemouth reserves

Sharp: Leeds
Freeman: QPR
McBurnie: Swansea

Fucking galacticos.

Only Celtic fans Pommpey. The rest of us thought he was one of our, if not the, best player that night. Long may he continue to play for both my teams

Less of 'fucking swearing, knobhead

 

[PokerBlade]

Thought Mousset had one of his weaker showings on the ball but in terms of physicality and movement he was causing all sorts of problems for them. McGoldrick, I don't care what people say about missed chances, he does so much to link up the play (which is even more important without a Duffy type starting) and it's no coincidence that you've seen more of Fleck in attack with him on the pitch.

Best strike pairing we've seen so far for me. I still refuse to write any players off this early, but Mousset, McGoldrick, and Sharp all had far more impact on the game than we've seen from Robinson and McBurnie.

As for the rest of the team, there wasn't a weak link tonight. Arsenal couldn't handle us when we came at them prior to the goal, and after it they hadn't a clue how to break us down.

Good choice mr carragher spoke of Liverpool before and after and stuttered when needed to praise us, bring back NBC

Did you see the presenter after that? Saying it was an emotional night? Sky are loving us atm.

Can you make this a regular feature? I really enjoy your vernacular style.

Agree with all of that. Mousse looked pretty ineffectual for most of the game but hey, he scored. Billy harried and hustled but not surprisingly, seemed a bit short of match sharpness, I’d love to see him get more minutes on the pitch. McBurnie? meh....yet to see what he brings. As for the rest - superb in every respect. Was watching on sky with a gooner and he admitted that they never looked like scoring. I’ll happily give away 60-70% possession when we can nullify the opposition and make a top
side like Arsenal look toothless - what would they give to have Silva back?

Aye I've had a pint or two in there over the years nice golf course aswell,been in the ty newedd tonight love it down here.

Ah the young man who thought Sharp looked rusty and Mousset didn't do much - should have gone to specsavers. Disappointingly, Ty Coch Inn doesn't translate to the The Cock Inn in Welsh but not to worry there's one at Oughtibridge

i’ve been in Scotland no problems .. except the Celtic wankers who drive around with Ireland flags ffs

More wins and points then derby now so something

you should be over here and see the Irish wankers walking around wearing a Scottish teams tops

 

[Booker4]

I thought Mousset looked good tonight, nothing to do with his goal either. He seemed a real threat and he's gonna get better and better.

 

[103SecondsOfMagic]

what would they give to have Silva back?

Gilberto? Totally. Forgot about him but that's the point I made to my Gooner mate tonight, plenty of skill but no intention of getting stuck in. Desperate for a Fernandinho/Makalele type.
Fuck em though.
Come on you red n white wizzzzaaaarrrds!!!

Good to hear, I could only comment on the tv coverage and accept that you miss a lot of the work that goes in without the ball, especially from strikers. I really hope he kicks on now.
