54 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Krul man of the match, but the whole team played well throughout. Sissoko was good once again, Hiadara had an impressive debut and looked good going forward, Ameobi had a decent game had put away his penalty well. Simpson Colo and MYM had good games. However Cisse looked lost out wide once again, and I didn't see much of Anita. Overall good game, bring on the next round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Would've been a big shame is we didn't beat them, we were clearly the better team. Would've comfortable advanced through the tie if our other two legal goals counted. Well done to them, I never thought we would get to this point so quickly after relegation.

Skeletor Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 They're a hugely over rated team. They'd make a great olympic diving team though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Easily the better team over the two legs, so got the win we deserved. Just hope there's no bother over there now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Much better team over the 2 legs, they seemed a completely different team when they went behind! Unbelievable saves from Krul and it was never in doubt once Shola stepped up. Hope Sissoko and Cabs recover enough for Sunday. What are the dates of the next round?

mozy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thought Cisse did quite well out wide compared to when he first played there. Kept the ball much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Really worried about Cabaye, you could see that knee hyperextend a bit on the replay. Hopefully it was just a good stretch for him.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Elated with the win and the performance generally. Some massive kudos for Haidara, Yanga-M'Biwa, Shola and, yes, Simpson. The new boys did incredibly in their natural position, and it's wonderful to have such wonderful cover at left-back. Santon needs pushing for his place/occasional rotation tbh. M'Biwa looks imperious - a great athlete. I have some gripes (as usual) but overall massively pleased to keep our season trophy hopes alive - Our set pieces desperately need addressing. - Our post-lead plan is... rubbish. Just absolutely rubbish. Pardew needs several hard slaps. Inviting shots/pressure is asinine. - If you're not going to play Cisse up front, don't play him. He's no good out wide. Congratulations to the squad though. And a good decision by Pardew to start Shola Absolutely. The negativity after going in front makes us extremely vulnerable. It's happened time and again this season - I don't know why he persists in having us deep when we're a goal in front. Yes, we kept the clean sheet but the accolades rest almost entirely at Krul's feet (hands). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 They were utterly shite. Our quality was always going to tell, despite the bed-wetting after the leg. Bring on Eto'o et al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 They're a hugely over rated team. They'd make a great olympic diving team though. Metalist? Nah they're a good team with a lot of potential. They'll be challenging Shakhtar and Kiev for the league title in the next few years. Ownership is heavily-vested and has fairly deep pockets. As evidenced by all the South Americans in their side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 We've done really well tonight to come away with a win when under so much pressure. I thought our officials were bad but the last two displays in Europe have me thinking again. I thought Krul was brilliant, he reminded me of his debut when he was outstanding and Hiadara looks to be another bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a good decision by Pardew to start Shola Edit: Oh s***, and Krul to my 'great performers' list obviously :lol: Hasn't had a good season as last year (where he set admittedly inordinate standards) but he was magnificent. Sissoko has become so important to us very quickly too. Instant hero. Hope all travelling fans get back safe Metalist are a decent outfit. We should be proud of this, and not try to run down the achievement of getting by them IMO. Sums it up quite well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Fantastic result. Every player was worth praise although I wish Anita had been involved more, need him to try and push on with us. Haidara looks another good buy, more than happy with him as cover Sissoko is an unbelievable player, I love the feeling I'm getting when we play it to him just past the halfway line and he gets into his stride Tim Krul thought, TIMMY FUCKING KRULL!! MOTM easily, don't know how he pulled off that reaction save the one on one saves have become the norm, so much confidence in him despite the little blip earlier this season. Now lets fuck southampton up, someone is due a humping at St James'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 There were some excellent performances out there tonight but this was simply a good 'graft' showing from everyone, even the likes of Marveaux who didn't do a lot with the ball, he was still getting stuck in towards the end and tackling. Great to see. I think we could have finished them off with a bit more style, but that's Pards unfortunately, I'll still take the win obviously, but I do hope he does realise at some point, that we can actually keep the ball.

Karjala Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 They were wank for 64mins, we werent much better. Cool as fuck was Shola, get in there. Krul, what a performance, 4 or 5 world class saves. MOM Sissoko good again. GET IN! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
