Would give Pelle a 10. Alot of players would have done something stupid in frustration, but he kept on plugging away. Against WBA he also fluffed a couple of chances and the pressure was on, he must have fluffed 6 good chances today
Could really argue that all three - Wanyama behind cork and Schneiderlin - would be excellent away from home against big clubs. At home... Do we even need two? Need more creativity in the middle in games like WBA.
I can only comment on what I am seeing. Did he change the game tonight? Yes or no? I know I bang on about him ad nauseam but I only do it because I genuinely can't see what the "Cork is only good enough as back up' boys are seeing that I don't. To be fair to you, you are in good company, Pochettino and Koeman.
Ah the ongoing Cork better than...... debate. What does so well is the transition from defence to attack. Snidders is also good at this but Big Vic isn't. He is best at tackling and breaking up play. For me it's simple, play all three especially away from home. Simples! Corky was the main difference in performance between the first and second half
He's good enough for the 1st team, it's just a shame we have 2 world class players in CM. We have incredible strength in depth in CM and I'm never worried when I see any of Wanyama, Morgan or Cork in midfield. It's a good situation to be in.
Just had goals on Sky. Said that Tadic made a big difference and that Pelle had about 10 chances. remarked how seriously Koeman was taking the cup...glad to hear it.
Yes, it's horrible when you have so many great players, and worrying about who to play. Oh, sorry, I forgot. Meltdown!!!
I have no problem at all, I ment the others. Long as whoever plays puts in a good shift I don't care.
Knew he'd be our best player. In the preseason highlights, you could just tell that he has something about him.
Yeah you know how I said we miss Lallana near the start? Turns out it was because Tadic wasn't playing. Think he's a more than adequate replacement.
Does anyone have GIFs or a video of the goals? # EDIT: NVM, found one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7YICbMKuJw
