xLiaaamx Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Just happy De Jong got a full 90 in, and came through it. Really looking forward to him catching up on his fitness. He is quality. And looked awesome tbf. Don't care about his lack of pace Gini and Vurn are a quick enough pair behind him and he still got around the pitch well enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Love watching him play tbh. He's not exciting in that he'll cut open a defence with a lung bursting (snigger) run or anything but he reads the game, knows where to be, and brings in other players. Would have him behind Mitrovic, Perez on the left, Thauvin on the right when everyone is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Big fan of Aarons but he was disappointing. Barely involved and actually looked a bit sluggish, then his body language when McClaren moved him over to LB was very poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Routine, comfortable and professional performance. Got after them early, went 2 up and simply held them at arm's length for 75 minutes. It's exactly what you'd expect a PL side to do to Northampton but it's something we'e struggled to do effectively for years now. Thauvin's going to be a star, disappointed with Aarons and the rest did well enough. Ref was fucking awful too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Shows how far we have falling when a 4-1 win at home to Northampton in the cup is considered cracking stuff. Good that we are through to the next round and it sounds like a promising performance, but when we start doing this at home to PL sides then we can get excited and giddy... We should be hammering your Northamptons at home all day long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 How the first goal is scored (by Thauvin) I'll never know, David Buchanan had him marked left, right and centre and the boy has done a Bruce Lee karate kick into the corner – that's the quality that they showed in the vital moments.

ponsaelius Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Darlow 6 Nowt much to do really Janmaat 9 brilliant performance Williamson 6 Shite but got a goal Lascelles 6 alreet but not sure he's anywhere near ready Haidara 6 Great cross for the first goal Gouffran 5 Crap footballer Tiote 6 was utter shite first half but got a bit better 2nd half Thauvin 9 outstanding De Jong 7 excellent but faded a bit Aarons 5 Probably a generous score tbh, he had a really bad night and his body language suggested he knew it Perez 7 Thought he was good again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
