Two Cup Wins in a Week!
Comments (1)
Great to win two cup ties in a week.
Hats off to the team for coming from behind twice, while not playing well and to Moyes for taking off his £11m striker. And to McFadden for producing - still needs to do it consistently for me, but he's playing well at the moment.
The game showed that we have a good spirit and that we desperately need to calm down and pass the ball to feet.
If we spend £11m on a striker known for being more of a poacher than a runner, we need to alter our tactics to suit. Naiively, I assumed Moyes had thought of this before splashing out, now I'm not sure. If 'legendary' managers like Redknapp and McLaren could get Yakubu to score goals in average teams, what's going on Davey?
The main thing is that we're in the hat and that the players dug out a good win. Anyone know a good coach who can get players to pass and move? Tell him to give Davey a call, please....

Other thoughts are that Jags is a passenger in that midfiled, Osman always holds the ball for 2 seconds longer than he should, no-one ever shows short for Neville when he takes the ball at right-back so he HAS to hit it long, McFadden is a clown but always scores when he starts, WE WON, Moyes doesn't trust his Centre Backs without Stubbs there, Yobo doesn't trust Stubbs, Stubbs sits far to deep.....and so on and so forth. Standard moans I suppose.
But at least it was exciting and terrifying in equal measure. All to often these type of games don't go our way. It was nice to see us get a nice big slice of luck for once.
