You could argue a replay was our worst outcome. What is it about playing at the Emirates that brings out the best in opposing keepers?
At least we didn't lose. The player should've scored, but thankfully he had the arsenal mentality shot right at the keeper .
Campbell and Chambers had some good combination on the right side the first half. Why did Theo and JC switch? Theo and Chambers had the opposite of chemistry. Theo grew more ineffective as the match grew on. Ox should have came on for him not Iwobi. None of the other matches this morning are interesting. Now what do I do with my day?
Sure we choked on offense today, but credit due to Steve Bruce and his boys. He got it just right strategically and in the last 10-15 mins they had quite a few chances to put us out of the cup. Now one extra match that neither of us wanted. Oh well, it was a good practice session for the fledglings like Chambers, Elneny & Iwobi. Onward.
True. I'd say a tie btw him an Ox. Danny was pretty good but had some heavy touches. I though Mo was the standout player. He sprayed a couple but I like his style. I can see him and coq working well together. He's not a DM but his defensive work was more disciplined than Ramsey in that he didn't lunge in or get too close to oncoming attackers. We will need to see him against stiffer competition--United maybe? Ospina was not good either.
From the Ox, Joel & Theo, I am all for selling 2 of them and dropping some insane money for Griezmann, Fekir or Dybala. Our goal scoring ability from the RW is just pathetic. We can't be a serious contender with such a flawed team.
