Just read about the Chelsea v City game. Apparently according to the BBC Chelsea were injury ravaged...this is their line up 😅

[trousers]

Anyone know the B-Team line up this evening? The club's social media bods don't seem to have posted it as per usual for some reason...

Looking like a bad ankle injury for Iwobi. Been one of Everton's better players this season

[SotonianWill]

are everton playing respectably enough to keep lampard?

I think so. They haven't disgraced themselves. Playing much better than we did against Forest the other night.

[The Cat]

Everton have been alright tonight. Created a bit. Grey is seemingly in good form and Calvert Lewin getting some more minutes to return back to full sharpness just in time to play against us.

[Dman]

I can’t imagine that O’Neil has long left. Bournemouth look just as bad as us. 
 

Be interesting to see who goes first between him and Frank. Franks saving grace is that Everton don’t have a pot to piss in… might just save him. 

[The Cat]

West Brom injury time equaliser against Chesterfield saved them from going out to a National League team.

Boreham Wood got a draw against League 1 Accrington. 

Be interesting to see how Wrexham get on at Coventry.

 

[woodsaint1]

I know they rested a few but thats a terrible result for Forest. Back to getting pumped away from home again. If only we had've tried to take the game to them 🙃

[woodsaint1]

Wrexham away next round please

[John Boy Saint]

Martin Keown is getting annoying 

Yesssssss what a goal 

[DT]

Come on Wednesday! 2-0 up. The Saudis are confused about who they can ring up to bribe

They changed the whole 11. Bit more than resting a few!

[Lighthouse]

Wood has been training for his Saints loan early.

[John Boy Saint]

Hope that’s not Woods head in Southampton with that attempt!

Shite result regardless

[DT]

6 minutes of extra time. Must have been expensive. 

[DT]

And an extra minute

[DT]

Well done Wednesday. Tough shit Newcastle

[John Boy Saint]

Great result 

[The Cat]

Eddie Howe masterclass with a pretty much full strength team against a League 1 side that couldn't even beat us.

Alright, maybe full strength is a bit of a stretch but they had most of them on for the last 35 minutes..

[Baird of the land]

Happy to see Newcastle out. Concerned seeing ref play an additional 2 minutes on top of added time, that they’d grab a last gasp equalizer.

[The Cat]

Some poor offside decisions in that game but it ended up 1 goal each that shouldn't have been allowed.

[Chez]

Lovely. Another Prem side out. Wednesday fought hard. Newcastle bombarded them late on.

[LGTL]

Proof in that game that officials have become lazy and overly reliant on VAR. 

[East Kent Saint]

Can we sign Windass ?

[LiberalCommunist]

Dean, yes, him, no.............

howe has always been fairly poor in the cups. like us under poch, koeman when we have a good side in the league but not in cup.

Can't see Wolves going down - they have some very good players from what I saw tonight against Liverpool.

[Jimmy_D]

Wolves must be seething after seeing that goal disallowed.

Yeah thought exactly the same .. they move the ball well .. look decent now ..new manager looks very good tactically.. excellent game management!

[Turkish]

Skates are all over a couple of Facebook groups I’m on congratulating themselves on their support today, how we could only dream of support like that. 
 

a lower league club, in a new stadium, hour and half away. You’d think they’d have taken 50000 to Sunderland the way they’re going on.

I'd be seething with the Salah goal not being ruled out, let alone being at one of the biggest stadiums in Europe and not having a VAR camera in the correct position.

It was there but one of the locals had knicked it.

Nauseating isn't it, I actually think Saints taking nearly 4000 to Palace is more impressive, a ground we've played at a million times in a lunchtime 3rd round game , train strike etc.

Going to be almost half the Premier league out by the 4th round, good to see, fingers crossed we get a kind draw

very nauseating and a bit weird. Any chance to tell anyone how great they are and they’re all over it.

The lino ruled that the player who had taken the corner was coming back from an offside position. Without any video to verify or over-rule it his decision stood.

That’s what happened, but my concern is that after the ball is in the net the assistant can put his flag up if he thinks the player was offside on the understanding that VAR will allow the goal if he is wrong. This means that he is more likely to flag thinking that there is going to be another check in his decision.

Not having proper coverage so that VAR can play its role is ridiculous. And at Anfield too.

Alternatively, the system did it's job and ensured that Liverpool didn't lose.

You might very well think that.

I couldn’t possibly comment 🙄

But there was video evidence to over-rule. The ball never went forward to the player who crossed the ball so he could never be offside no matter where he was standing.

Just in case some don't understand what I'm saying. There are two things that need to happen to be offside, first you have to be in an offside position and second the ball has to be played forward. I haven't anything that suggest either of those two happened!

They desperately need to ensure Man Utd and Liverpool make it as far as possible in the competition to keep viewing figures high and therefore advertising revenue

Wasn’t the ball played out wide off a Wolves’s player ?

I think the decision was that he had 'come back from an offside position', so benefitted from having been offside as the ball was played. The fact that the ball did not go forwards is irrelevant, it is the player's position at the moment the ball is touched that counts..
