I agree , they had no time to impose themselves the workrate was sensational .Thought we were fantastic.
They were awful but a lot of that is down to how we pressed.
Best under Lampard imo. Beautiful 🩵
EMC is carrying an injury. If he had been 100%, think we would have been even better.Every single one of them today was exceptional. Not one bad performance, we absolutely bullied them and outclassed them from minute 1
Allen Grimes and Torp turned into primes Xavi Iniesta and Busquets
Defence untroubled and solid as a rock
Haji well what can I say. The man can play in the premier league easily on his day. EMC and Tats also quality
Overwhelming feeling of pride. Bounced back from a garbage performance with the best of the season
Tbf saka died for our sins and is now back to lead us to the promised landThat front 3 is ridiculous. If we'd listened to some on here, Wright would have been sent back to Turkey, EMC is a league 1 player and Sakamoto is finished after his injury
Love this place though, would be boring without the batshit bullshit.
Over 90 minutes. There are memorable games such as Luton this year and of course the Man U semi-final.Best performance we’ve put in for a good 2-3 seasons in my view.
Too many people panicked after Derby away. All we needed was a bit more legs in midfield and Allen provided that. Allen, Torp and Sakamoto won every 50/50 in the midfield. Haji Wright is the obvious MOTM because his hattrick was perfect, I swear he finishes better with his left foot!

Id love to know how much distance allen and torp covered
Allen was incredible. The last of the old school continuing the drive up the leagues. He's outlasted the rest of them.
You expect it from Allen, but I've never seen Torp cover so much ground, he was relentless.
Yep, fell into this myself. The de-brief with my dad post Derby, he knows his stuff and called the team with Haji starting up front, Jay in, I said come on dad Haji clearly not fit enough yet (mind you most of them looked like they'd just got out of bed on Tues) and yes Bidwell was well off it but surely the better of two evils. In the pub hes got the team right, everyone taking the piss, but they were all tremendous to a man. Can't figure out the difference in just a few days, was it a kick up the complacency, was Frank spitting a few truths? Whatever, hoping it sticks and thought the crowd were the 12, 13 and 14th man there today.Best performance we’ve put in for a good 2-3 seasons in my view.

Allen may not be a top 6 player, but he is a player that can get you into the top 6.
How we needed him against Derby.
Today we maintained the tempo. Maybe we could afford to knowing there is a break to come. Ideally we need to play at this tempo for the remaining games.
Allen is definitely 'a fall down seven times, get up eight' player!You definitely need cracking role players and imo, Allen really encapsulates this. He played so well in the 5-3-2 games and was replaced for Grimes and whenever you write him off, he just finds ways to add value that make you change your opinion.
The Derby game was crying out for Allen offer his style in midfield, don’t think it was wrong for people to question it but today was just another level with the midfield battling and movement.
