If it was, it wasn't very diamondy - I was just thinking about that. I mean I guess it was, but it was very fluid. A word for Hojbjerg - he just doesn't do misplaced passes, does he?
Hold on. Did we just beat Palace in the cup!? Never thought I'd see the day! Good mix of youth and experience in the team today and sounds like the younglings acquitted themselves very well. Good stuff. Bring on the next round!
We did, but it was a lot more fluid when going forward, and solid when defending. They recovered into two banks of 4 with much more haste than the first couple of games. Seems as though this Puel fellow may know a few things after all
For me this is a special win. Palace has often got the better of Saints in Cup competition,s so Saints needed to be mentally strong to block out the idea that Pace are their Cup hoodoo team. Well done to the team, management and supporters.
Didn't look like it from where I sat. At least Koeman has been proved a liar tonight. "None of the academy are good enough" well they can't be if you don't give them a chance.
