Just seen Donald Love is cup-tied having played in earlier rounds on loan. Who's 10th choice right back?

I don't want to worry you but lvg has just been in touch with my agent and asked what I am doing tomorrow night. He says it doesn't matter that I am 50 years old and 16 stone, as long as I can pass to the centre half and the goalkeeper.

 

[bludsucker]

Starting XI
Romero, Varela, Smalling, Blind, Borthwick-Jackson, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Memphis, Mata, Lingard, Martial

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Nice to see Varela is available, I thought he was out for longer. I would have liked to have seen Pereira.

 

[bludsucker]

Yeah. Even I was surprised to see varela's name on the sheet. Hope we have not rushed him back too soon.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Haha at the freekick hitting Martial.

 

[Berba_God]

Smalling!

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Yeaaah, Smalling scores! The new bounce into the ground finish.

 

[Berba_God]

Good free kick from Mata.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Top freekick. Perfect distance for Mata.

Well I'm not sure what to make of this...

2-0 up and let's be honest it's been nothing but easy street all the way. But it's still been pretty uninspiring...

 

[Sideshow Bob]

I think the performance has been okay. Shrewsbury are just looking to defend.

 

[RichH2016]

Yeah I know and it's not been a bad performance by any means. It's just been pretty bland.

Comfortable, professional but nothing truly to get excited about. Difficult when the opposition put everyone behind the ball but still you'd want more. Well at least I think so given how poor we have been all season.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

How's Martial missed that.

 

[RichH2016]

No idea... Really good inventive play by Blind and then Mata helped it on really well. What a Muppet!!!

Really good goal that! On the counter and what a pass by Herrera.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

3-0. Top pass from Herrera.

 

[Berba_God]

And that's 3!

 

[RichH2016]

Such a lovely pass. At first when the ball went in I was wondering what Herrera had seen. Then it became clear!
