Hull City vs Chelsea (FAC) Friday 13th February 19:45 GMT

Totally missed today's match, sounds like it was a job well done though.

 
Key part mate is it was only Hull, and we played a very strong team.

No arguing with those facts, but I just feel there was still a bit more to have enjoyed and a few positives worth noting. I was there in 2015 when we got done 4-2 at home by League One Bradford City in the fourth round when we were top of the PL.

Ah yeah I remember that one... major embaressmement at the time

 
I'm not saying Enzo has been good, I've been one of his biggest critics, but just because he hasn't been very good, it doesn't mean Neto's performances haven't been an issue for us. Again, I will say what I said earlier, judge a player on their own performances instead of comparing them to others.

Well as a team we have been wholly rubbish so anyone can be criticised. I rarely find myself criticising Neto because those damn Argentinians have already made my blood boil.

 
Nah there was an array of idiots who thought it’d be a good idea to sign him.

I was one of the person who support his signing, not because I think Garnacho was great but because it means we don't have to play gittens.

They’re both a sh*t as each other and Neto isn’t much better. I’d rather we just didn’t play a left winger.

Rosenior has pretty much arrived at this conclusion himself ... hence he's been playing Fernandez at LW instead, which has the added bonus of giving us better options starting at DM and #10, while keeping Eghbali off his back as Fernandez still starts.

 
I saw a 25 min spell in the 2nd half.

Liked seeing Neto linking up with Delap.

The best I have seen Delap since he arrived.

Neto's deliveries were good too.

Santos looked good providing an outlet for the back three and good on the ball.

Sarr in defence looked decent too.

Good to see Rosenior bringing on a couple of youngsters once we were comfortable.

A bit lucky not to concede near the end.

 
Really enjoyed this and the next match against Burnley probably marks the end of Rosenior's honeymoon period and we will get down to the very serious business after that. I think that is the moment we will see a settled formation until the end of the season and by the looks of it, apart from the constant management of minutes for Fofana, I think Sanchez, Cucurella, Chalobah, Caicedo, Santos, Enzo, Palmer, Neto and Joao Pedro will start most of the matches. Enzo's position in the left pocket is something I vouch for, too. Garnacho and Gittens can't be trusted at the moment.

Subject to the hamstring issue. No official update but the Spanish Fed are reported to be concerned. We shall see.

Looked an issue against Leeds. Thankfully there's two weeks left before Arsenal and that difficult run of matches.

@VascoRF92 told us all. I believed early, that person knows their stuff.

We could have had Rayan for 25mill, instead we got Gitte

It's always amazing to see you guys remember what i've told about santos years ago hahahaha.

Yes, i can tell, he is not even on his peak, like not even even close.

Andrey is a monster of player, i told that 3 years ago and i will say it again, he will me the best on his position in the near future.

Probably missed that but it's obvious from only the few games he's had under LR he's a better player than Enzo, not that that's saying much, so why did Maresca never play him ?

I'm with you, Santos makes a big difference from the back to the front...

Because as has been pointed out around here, Maresca saw him as a box crasher a la Enzo and he wasn't going to start in front of Enzo. In short, Maresca knew bugger all about him.

 
Apart from being a shyte manager he's a bloody weird guy that Maresca...

Had a little group of his favorite players and no one else got a look in ...

I think he'd have tried Gusto in goal if he was a bit taller :)
