Not sure what other senior midfielder we could have used, the others played against Fulham?

didnt have to be senior, our youth squad showed last season they could play.

We never played a full youth midfield tho? Don't think you want Harvey Elliott being the senior in the middle

Doesnt mean we couldnt off though, give them a chance after last season imo.

Size of thst Southampton sub

 

[Mark1989]

Endo is down again, sub him off think he has been beaten up enough

 

[Irish_Tom]

Could have been 5 or 6. Redemption for the league match.

Shame about the yellow cards but a good performance and a great result.

Edit: bah, a clean sheet would have been nice.

Did Chiesa’s awareness get injured before or after he joined us?

 

[AStaley]

Was hoping to see more from Nunez in this game, but he’s looking more and more like a spectator.

 

[Bigpig]

job done

Midfield looked good again.

 

[AStaley]

To be fair he’s spent most of his time with us injured, this is his first real taste of the English game, hopefully a good impact player to come on as a sub.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Got away with one there.

Foul and a red card, thanks Hooper

 

[Rotty]

What a dreadful 2nd half performance

 

[eurokage]

Quansah/Liverpool thanking the non-VAR gods tonight...

 

[C Kent]

Nah, never a foul

 

[C Kent]

Into the semi. Poor 2nd half but overall we did enough.

 

[Stu999]

Probably end up a Liverpool v Arsenal final, let’s be honest.

 

[explicit4u]

Classic game of two halves that, abysmal 1st half where if it wasn't for the guy shouting abuse at all the players next to me, I would have fallen asleep. Whatever Arteta said at half time clearly worked and the subs were desperately needed. Hopefully Jesus kicks on and Tierney can get back to match fitness as he barely put a foot wrong. 3 goals from open play, couldn't believe my eyes!

I'd take anyone in the next round apart from Liverpool, I'm confident we'd beat them at our place but it will force us to go full strength and it will be a draining match regardless of the result.

A bit worrying how reliant Arsenal are on Odegaard and Saka. Like Odegaard seems to be what makes the offence tick, made a huge difference when he came on.

I would ditch Kiwior, heard Napoli(?) were interested so I'd cash in. He shouldn't be first backup in any position when everyone is fit.

Positive to see Jesus getting some goals but I'll reserve judgement, lets see how he kicks on.
