Great game by Momo, glad to have him back.

Tom_B · « **Reply #6 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:10:38 PM »

First half performance was fantastic. Second half was efficient.

Good performance overall.

Mighty_Red · « **Reply #7 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:10:44 PM »

2 goals one each for strikers (albeit one on the wing), a clean sheet and 3 points, what more can you ask for?

and a two week rest for Stevie

on we go...

Some of the Passing was fuckin woeful there at times in the second half, but a win is a win.

The-Reds · « **Reply #9 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:11:56 PM »

Good first half and win. Second half was just dire. So toothless upfront and no cohesion in our passing play. Kewell and Fowler might aswell have not been playing.

The defence, apart from a few shaky moments, were immense again. We'd struggle to win games like that without them.

NY-AmericanRed · « **Reply #10 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:12:16 PM »

Twenty wins on the year, 67 points

Cisse played TREMENDOUS

Nobody got hurt, I'll take it

Yeah i will go with these 2 posts to sum the game up.

Sat1 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:12:34 PM »

That 20 clean sheets in the Prem right?

Controlled the game but felt our passing got sloppy in the last 10 minutes.

Happy with the result

Good performance in shite conditions.

Happy with the win. Keep on wining please.

Cusamano · « **Reply #15 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:13:53 PM »

Decent performance.

3 points is all that matters at this stage of the season.

beardsley4ever · « **Reply #16 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:14:02 PM »

I think that pretty much wraps up at least 3rd place for us now. With Spurs and Bolton losing, and Arsenal too many points back to catch us (despite their good form), I think that we're safe now - in case anyone was worried.

More worryingly, it looks like UNited might not be out of the title picture! 7 points back and they still go to Stamford Bridge, so they only need to pick up 4 more points than Chelsea in the next 5 games to make the game at the Bridge a decider. Fuks sake.

FinnishRed · « **Reply #17 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:15:36 PM »

Three points, pleased with that.

Player ratings:

Reina - 7
Finnan - 7
Carra - 9
Hyypia - 8
Riise - 7
Cisse - 9 (MOTM)
Xabi - 9
Momo - 8
Harry - 6
Crouch - 6
Robbie - 7

Momo, Xabi and Djib were great first half, and all deserved motm. Carra was his usual rock-like self.

Think we need 2 wins out of our last 5 games to guarantee CL football.

Good win but very sloppy 2nd half that.

FTW · « **Reply #22 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:21:25 PM »

We could do with securing 3rd, in case the Arse win the European Cup.

Hope not like.

solid display today.. what a pass by Xabi for the second

Yeah.. im concerned about that aswell.. dont want fucking mancs to win anything

Rizla · « **Reply #24 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:21:44 PM »

Nice and solid...another banana skin safely negotiated, and the run in isnt too bad so 3rd looks like ours now

Pity Man U keep winning but overall pretty happy. Look much better now Sissoko is back with us, and Xabi looks to be finding his best form. All's cool

Chelsea under pressure in the league might not be a bad thing before the FA Cup semi...

A very dull second half was enlivened considerably at full time, when two blokes from another pub decided to have a drunken punch up in the middle of a busy road junction. Three points. Again.

reeop · « **Reply #27 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:22:42 PM »

nice and easy as it should be.

Cisse, Alonso and Sissoko stands out as really good. Anyone else recognising our favourite linesman from that Chlsea game? He was brilliant today as well.

Cisse a 6? Xabi a 6? Momo a 6? You are well and truly having a laugh. But I've seen quite a few of your posts, and you seem to be trying to start arguments.

Besides, we were collectively poor second half, but for the first half alone, the ratings should be fairly high.

Hugh · « **Reply #30 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:23:20 PM »

Pleased with that, another solid win keeps the ball rolling.

mobydick · « **Reply #31 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:23:40 PM »

Good first half and two good goals. We stayed in the dressing room second half, although at the beginning this was due to B. Robson changing a few things round and maybe a bollocking or two. Second half and Pepe had much more to do but what he had to do he did well. Very happy with the result, could have been a banana skin.

Cisse had a good first half, i'll give you that, but he was absolute pants in the second, along with the rest of the attacking players.

Well he only played half of the second half. And aside from being a little greedy what did he do wrong? The one on one wasn't easy, and neither was the volley. Anyway, think what you like I can't be arsed arguing.

No way, Cisse scored one and set up the other, so he gets at least an 8

Alonso gets at least an 8, Fowler a 7, Momo 7.5

Good result 0-2 away from home and another goal for Robbie and one for Djibril. Happy enough with the performance.

Gera also played well when he came on. I actually advocated a cheeky bid for him last summer - think he's a better player than he's allowed to show at West Brom and would be good right-sided back up.

red and white liz · « **Reply #39 on:** April 1, 2006, 07:29:35 PM »

Great attacking first half, but second half to echo previous comments we stayed in the dressing room. Just did not seem to turn up.

But I'll take the points every time!
