I'm loving the fact that Ireland is going to have loads of youth players of African and Eastern European descent :)
Far better than the likes of Shane Long and the other journey men we have been churning out :ROFLMAO:

This is what you need mate.
It's unbelievable on the palate. Lovely complex tastes.

Remember one thing when you watch your idols in the premier league.
These men do it for free in the GAA and represent their communities.

 
God can’t believe I watched that again this morning 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 only positives were Telles. Oh and good to see proactive GK display for once this season! There were 2 carbon copy sets of play last night Everton scored from. 1 deep freekick which Henderson comes way of his line to collect the ball in the air with no drama (Everton’s equaliser) And a low crossed fired into the box were Henderson punches it well out the box and sets of a counter (Everton’s 1st with DDG soft parry to DCL) He also had 100% on collected crosses into our box last night and 89% long/short pass accuracy.
 
The problem last night was Solskjaer as much as anything else, you see the way West Ham are parking the bus for like 90 minutes and refuse to change it sticking with Matic/Fred in the midfield. It's like starting the game with two flat tyres. A needless extra 30 mins in the tank at this stage of season, considering how much we dominated for 90 minutes we needed to be more brave and create more.

Secondly, I feel really sorry for Donny, when he came here you could see a really good player with confidence..... now it's like non-existent. Why on earth do we constantly insist on playing him as a no. 10? Our management surely must know the role he played for Ajax was not that at all.

Positives, we got through... but I had to get that off my chest.

Can’t blame Ole for a bit of squad rotation tbh. Who would you have played in CM? The problem is all our CMs are limited btb/def minded when Pogba is out.

DVB was actual pretty good last not but not spectacular as has been the case for most of his appearances he can play any of the 3 positions well in the middle of the park. Atm he’s only getting chance at 10 to rest Fernandes as we don’t have any real cover there.

Don’t see much to complain about last night tbh. Through to the next round and some players got a bit of rest. My main issue last night was Martial and Rashford being poor again and playing 90mins.

Why not just give DvB a go at no. 6 last night? We didn't need Matic AND Fred when West Ham are playing like park the bus.

Donny was good when he first came, now he has tailed off but it's to do with confidence and form. You can't expect him to be at his peak when he's playing bit part here and there.

I don't see why we can play a partnership with Pogba and Fred/McT, but DvB can't play there? He used to play no. 6 a lot for Ajax, he was never a no. 10 really. Now Pogba is injured it's a perfect chance in my eyes.
