Baird of the land

Wonder if cork will be given 10/15 minutes.

Annoying losing vic chasing pointless ball forward 30 seconds from the break. Well if there's a position we can cope with losses it's centre mid. Davis, jwp, cork and reed still isn't bad for a couple of weeks till Morgan gets back.

Shame to lose Morgan, at least we have cork back to cover.

If we can get a back up target man maybe otherwise go with what we've got.

Ahh wasn't aware of that. I'd say play Tadic then, as i was thinking Elia could have done with more minutes on pitch.

For me something akin to Forster, Clyne, Gardos, Fonte, Targett, Reed, Cork, Morgan, Tadic, Long, Pelle

I certainly think we should mix it up a bit but not complete kids as i think we should still be taking it reasonably seriously. The likes of Targett, Reed, Corky, Long should play if fit. Think Pelle has to play every game he's fit and not suspended at moment as we haven't got an alternative.

Good, thought i saw Koeman looking unamused after the goal and wondered if it was about Tadic showing off his pecs.

For me there will always be an element of tugging but i want refs to punish the excessive one sided stuff. Clearly the ref saw Smalling because he warned him before the next corner.

I could just about accept if Neville's comment had of said Man City, Chelsea & Real Madrid but listing the likes of Liverpool/Arsenal/Utd etc who are below us felt silly.

So delighted we beat them after somehow losing to them at home. Great effort by the team but not sure how Mata didn't take either of the chances he was presented. Can't believe we are third in the table.

Hopefully its a decent enough offer that he'll accept.

I'd be tempted to make a change shortly. Take JWP off and Tadic or Long as we really seem to be struggling to get anything going in their half barring the first 5 minutes. Don't think we will be able to holdout if its 45 more minutes of pure rear guard action. The amount of times we have possession and we end up going back from their half to forster, who lumps it and we lose possession isn't good.

Don't like the space we are giving Rooney just to pick whatever pass he wants.

Sounded like a frustrating display. Hoping we can play much better against united. Glad to still be in the cup but could have done without a replay.

Still makes no sense imo given Morgan's likely summer departure. Hoping koeman's words on new contract come to fruition.

like to see targett given another run out. Think we should play a largely strong line-up though.

Very nice to get revenge for the 1-0 loss at their place. When i saw their midfield i was hopeful but by the sounds of it, it was their defence that handed the game to us. Other results went well for us too. Nice cushion to teams below. Really hoping we can keep this going.

Personally think we should put out largely first 11 for fa cup.

Yeah personally I recall him cleverly winning a free kick and a throw late on.

Can't say I agree regarding ref, thought he gave decent account of himself. Didn't give them a penalty too, which made me happy considering fabregas making zero attempt to stay on his feet.

Don't particularly want to see him start at right back again. Ideally McCarthy will come through like targett on the other side to give us cover at right back.

Right back is certainly an issue. Toby didn't look particularly comfortable and neither did yoshida. I'd be tempted to blood McCarthy there but haven't seen enough of him to know if he's ready. morgans replacement seems a toss up between reed who would give tenacious tackling and jwp who add set piece threat.

Fantastic result. Nice to see us getting something from the big boys. Morgan's a loss though.

Great result. Really hoping we step up and take something from the Chelsea game
