HUGE win and a great performance. With better finishing that gets the 3 or 4 goal margin that it deserved
As for Hull, one of the worst opposition performances since we were promoted
The result tomorrow obviously matters far more than off-pitch optics, but it’s a bit concerning that there wasn’t much of a ‘reaction’ from Arbeloa in today’s presser. Didn’t see much fight from him. Has nobody at the club had a word from a PR perspective?
Last thought from today, Hull is an absolute must-win, draw not close to being good enough
Fail to do that and I think you make a change
Arbeloa got extremely lucky we took a chance on him, so the arrogance in these post-match quotes are hugely concerning to me
Sunderland, Utd and Ipswich all changed momentum after unusual subs and subsequent tactics. Of course it can happen to any team occasionally…but that’s 50% of our league games this season!
No mate nobody knows you as a manager, that was the issue with the appointment in the first place
AA: "Maybe you don't know me, but I have coached the best team in the world. Maybe you don't know, but just to let you know that pressure is part of my life since I was kid. So it's normal in football, it's normal for players, it's normal for coaches, it's normal for everybody that is around a team. Yes, I think the pressure is something that is important for me and I like it." #FFC

This has gone under the radar (no club tweet yet), but safe standing being introduced to the away end. Home end next…? 🤞
Think a point was fair on the balance of play but such an annoying way to concede (even if our’s was more ridiculous thanks to ‘The Butcher’)
Really wish we put them under more pressure at 1-0
Also I have given him a lot of stick but Leno was much improved today
In the hat, Palacios masterclass and Bobb’s first goal - positive night!
I imagine half that team won’t be involved for the next round though
Also liked what I saw from Angel. Seemed confident and classy on the ball (physicality could be an issue but lets see…)
Tete, Kevin & ESR all worked so hard after coming on, hopefully last week is firmly put behind us now
Absolutely excellent performance and hugely deserved our point. Fair play to every single player and most importantly Arbeloa who got it spot on with his lineup, tactics and in-game tweaks
Mid block vs Liverpool takes me back to Palhinha’s debut
AA: "Balance is the key, we will have to defend in a low block, medium block sometimes. It's very important, we need to be ready when we lose the ball, what we're going to do. That's what we've been working on." #FFC
One of Silva’s biggest skills was to pull a big result out of nowhere when the pressure was on
Few examples from over the years…
Arsenal (a) 2-2 - 23/24
Arsenal (h) 2-1 - 23/24
Liverpool (h) 3-2 - 24/25
Arbeloa needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat during the next two imo
