I don’t think we’ve necessarily solved all of our problems. I’m on record on here saying I have my doubts about Howe turning it around long term.
 

But that is 7 good halves out of 8 (excluding two massive individual errors at Brentford first half). 
 

We do still have to improve away from

home and I would still worry how we would get back into a game if we go a goal down early. 
 

I’ll enjoy the improved performances, the balance to the team, the 12 goals in 4 games and the fact we’re now a threat from set pieces. 
 

You do you pal. But I can’t imagine what it must be like being so miserable. Try and look for the positives in another semi-final and some decent games and scorelines from us. You might enjoy yourself. 
 

What were you like under Souness/Fat Sam/Pardew/McClaren/most of the last 25-30 years?! :lol: 

He's always been like this. Ebeneezer Scrooge would lecture his ass on why Christmas is a time to be positive.

Didn't Miley get on? Found it a bit odd to play both Bruno/Sandro 90 minutes especially when we were 3-0 up.

Miley did play for the U-21's yesterday tbf, he was probably there for emergency cover.

Solid, professional performance.

 

Very nice to see us in a lead and think, 'let's just keep the ball and make them chase us', rather than 'let's just punt the ball back and chase them'.

 

Don't remember them having a decent chance until late on & we were 3-0 up, and for anyone complaining about Bruno not getting booked for diving vs Leicester, check out Wissa vs Dubs in the first half.

 

Fingers crossed things are starting to take shape, though we'll really find out against better teams and away from home.

Am I being overly negative by saying that without Bruno we probably have no chance against any of the remaining sides?

I don’t think we have won a game without him since he signed, so it’s not overly negative. However it’s two legs, personally think we have a real chance against anyone. Who knows, we may even have a new signing.

We barely got out of 3rd gear imo but still played some lovely stuff in the second half. Team balance is very positive all of a sudden.

 

Wouldn't call that 3rd gear like but I guess it wasn't 100mph. Loved that personally, from about the 20 min mark we just looked better and better. Felt like we had the match under total control, and we were knocking it about quite beautifully.

So important, the balance of the team.

Yes I gave you a like but the team made it look like we were cruising when in fact that was bloody hard work all over the pitch.  Our hard work and eventual domination sapped them both physically and mentally.  Awesome performance tonight.

We should have a pretty tough run after Ipswich (which itself won't be easy as it's away). Villa, man u (away) spurs (away) and then either spurs, Liverpool, man u, or arsenal in the semis.

 

I just really hope that this brutal run doesn't kill our newly found confidence if we have a few poor results in a row.

That sub always irritates me since Tino ends up moving too, always seems needlessly disruptive. Few times it's happened now I think. 

 

Good performance and result tonight. 

It worked since we still won easily and gave Hall a bit of a rest and Trippier some minutes :thup:
