Great result, first 30mins they rattled us, but once we settled they could not deal with us, and they burnt themselves out. 

Meslier had a shakey start, felt sorry for him with the goal as the first save was brilliant, but he grew into the game as well and had a better second half.

Firpo excellent again, strikers finish and the assist for Tanaka. 

Piroe's goal was a beauty, best one hes struck all season.

Oh and i'd offer Firpo a new deal if we haven't already, not saying he's brilliant at PL level (if we get there, not counting chickens yet etc) but he's more than useful in the squad. He looks a much better player under Farke. Thought he deserved the MOM. 

One fly in ointment is Ampadu injury, Farke says may need an Op. Need to pray no other CB's get injured... not going in for one in Jan now looks very risky given Wober's injury record.

Hamer was very lucky to stay on the pitch, should have received a second yellow.

Well I`ve been away for 3 weeks and so impressed with the results we have produced during that time. After being on the go for almost 30 hours and arriving home yesterday with a chuffing flu virus I was determined to watch the game. Couldn`t believe the Meslier howler and was starting to think it`s me jinxing the team. But a top class team performance got us home comfortably in the end. Firpo my MoM. Losing Ampadu is going to be a blow as Gruev doesn`t appear up to it. Agree Hamer should have got a second yellow for the foul on Rodon. Tanaka no way a yellow. Good substitutions again by Farke. Shame that Joseph just doesn`t seem to be the player I thought he would be. Rodon very good at the back again.

Hope you had a good one mate, holiday ?? Always trust an airplane to spread a load of bugs around! 

12 games left, if Ampadu needs an Op, i cant see him playing again this season..

Thought it was going to be one of those nights after Mesliers shaky start and Sheff U certainly bossed us for the first half hour, maybe if they had that killer second goal while we were under the pump all could have changed but we did excellently to claw our way back into the game and they just couldnt live with us once we got going.

Say what you want about Farkes subs wrt timing but they all make a difference when coming on and certainly helped swing the game further from SU's grasp in that second half. They were chasing shadows at the end we had totally dominated them in almost every facet.

Plenty of water to go under the bridge yet with the games left but that was a massive statement win against a good team who will continue to push us all the way.
