Dominant, absolutely dominant. Plymouth have hijacked Arriva's whole fucking fleet.

A bit dull, but the kids aren't doing too badly. A couple of the more senior players to come on in the second half and we should win this comfortably.

Magic of the FA Cup

These are shite - parking 11 behind the ball.

The young guns are that tad too inexperienced to take advantage.

Ojo looks good but he needs to beef up a bit or he won't last long.

I really like young Woodburn - reminds me of a young Ian Rush - poachers instincts on the lad.

Dunno if it is complacency or caution but tis all sideways and sloooow. Kids are alright, but this has 'suckerpunch' writ large. Get some seniors on, put the game to bed, coast through remaining minutes I say.

It`s all a bit too nice.Up the tempo a bit and we`ll see a few goals.

Plymouth are killing the game. Our lads are doing well though.

It'll come, just concentrate and keep plugging away.

The magic of the cup... seriously Plymouth... why fucking bother? When did they get formed and why?

Its hard playing against a back 10.

Dullllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

But it's not our lads fault, they've done just grand. Maureen would be proud of this bunch, total and complete lack of ambition. Fucking horrible to watch.

This bus parking is gross, every team doing it now, 6 at the back hoping for a 0-0. You're a league side playing against kids, maybe go for it a bit?

Kids are class, Trent AA is a future superstar, and Woodburn is special, I'd actually like to see him at #10 playing off Origi, feel on the wings his options are limited, and he tends to vacate that space when Moreno has the ball anyway.

redalways · « **Reply #17 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:24:12 pm »

Record for fewest number of posts at half time ?

Suareznumber7 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:24:18 pm »

Good patience by the young kids. Not easy breaking down 11 men camped inside 20 yards of their own goal. Just need that 1 clear cut chance.

That's an odd comment. Ojo is a really strong kid.

It's a good preseason match to get fitness up, not sure what some of you are expecting.

KiNki · « **Reply #20 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:24:22 pm »

well plymouth parked the bus, but disappointingly we have no idea how to take advantage of their reluctance to leave the penalty area. We've got trent and moreno in behind but nothing to show for it.

ThePeetmix · « **Reply #22 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:24:29 pm »

This is just a daft game of football. Plymouth are literally just defending. Not ven bothering to have a go in the slightest. Magic of the FA eh?

Not surprised the youngsters are finding this tough. How often so they play against this kind of football? Need Daniel Sturridge to come on and help guide them to victory.

Andy @ Allerton! · « **Reply #23 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:24:31 pm »

Anyone got any stats please?

classycarra · « **Reply #24 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:24:33 pm »

so many positives. not least the confidence, belief and ability of the 6 youngsters. now just need to tie it up.

just need a few faster pieces of play. bit more interchanging from wide, and we'll have more chances like moreno did at the end when he was free in the box to pick someone out.

fancy ojo and arnold to create something

Out of all the youngsters you're saying it's Ojo who needs to beef up???

Decent half for Woodburn and Ojo

RedorRed · « **Reply #27 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:24:58 pm »

One shot.... one goal.... written all over it.

Garnier · « **Reply #28 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:25:15 pm »

I do understand they have 50 men defending,but i did expect a bit more of quality from the players. Need to put this one to bed quickly

We could do without a replay.

stockdam · « **Reply #29 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:25:34 pm »

Very comfortable but that's the problem. Other than Ojo nobody is trying something different. Can and Stewart have been far too sluggish and predictable. We need to get in behind their defence and only Ojo has done that so far.

JackWard33 · « **Reply #30 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:25:40 pm »

Great to watch the kids
Woodburns close control is legit

To be honest we could take off Stewart or a centre back for an attacker - probably gave too few attacking players on the pitch
Someone suggested Sturridge on for Karius - seems like the right move

6-3-1 formation

They're holding us well, but we do lack pace or a twist of genius up front. I'm really comfortable with this and actually enjoying it.

Probably 2-0 in the end

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #32 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:25:41 pm »

Woodburn and Can were very good. Stewart's shots were particularly awful though

OOS · « **Reply #33 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:25:45 pm »

Need to take some risks in possession, so slow and predictable

S · « **Reply #34 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:25:45 pm »

Halfback passes to center, back to wing, back to center, center holds it. Holds it. Holds it.

Zeb · « **Reply #35 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:25:50 pm »

One of those where being so dominant on the ball may actually be helping the opposition. They're happy enough with 10 men behind the ball and our young lads are just struggling a bit to break it down. But for all that, TAA has looked as promising as ever pushing forward on the right, Woodburn's shown some nice touches and Ejaria looks like an exceptionally elegant and tidy midfielder in the making.

But, we could use a little experience and that bit of talent on the ball to break these down. Lallana perhaps? We're just missing that vision and skill.

El Lobo · « **Reply #36 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:25:51 pm »

At home, try and scrape a famous draw and then get big money replay, that's fair enough. But away from home...? Even Havant and Waterlooville tried to have a football match.

Yevgeny · « **Reply #37 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:25:58 pm »

Not sure Plymouth were setting out to play that way. It's just that we've pinned them into their half like we've done to most teams this season and not allowed them to get out. We've made better sides than them look terrible this season. It's the Klopp way. We've no cutting edge though and need Sturridge on soon.

jediwarrior · « **Reply #38 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:26:05 pm »

Totally boring. Plymouth 10 or 11 men in the box all times.

Need to add more width as the centre is too overloaded

harryc · « **Reply #39 on:** January 8, 2017, 02:26:06 pm »

Do they even want to play football?
