Into the next round. That wasn't the best or easiest game to watch, but at the end of the day we won, and that's the most important thing. Preston were unlucky to not score in the first half that had a few decent chances. Adrian pulled off a couple massive saves. Neco did brilliant to get two assists, and he could've got a third towards the end, if he passed to Taki instead of shooting himself. Gomez looked a little rusty, but that's to be expected due to his injury last season, and lack of game time this season. Matip was fine, and hopefully he hasn't picked up a knock. Phillips was great in the second half, and proved why he's a solid option as a 5th choice centreback. Tsimikas took time to get into the game, but his cross did lead up to Origi's wonder goal. Morton was excellent, and showed that's he's got a bright future. Ox looked rusty, but still worked hard. Jones was OK, and showed a couple flashes of individual skill. Blair struggled to get into the game. Bradley did OK when he cam on. Taki took his goal brilliantly. That Origi goal was a gloriously beautiful work of abstract art. With a bit of luck we'll get Sunderland in the next round. But either way if we want to win the cup then we'll have to play a "big" team eventually.
