Decent line up. Like to see Vinicius get a couple
Early & Often 049:gif
Good start. Need to start shooting
What the hell was that Diop
Thank god this is not a league game
There you go...Its the Cup.
That was absolutely dreadful by Diop
ouch
Oh boy
Genitalmen we have 80 minutes to rescue this situation.
on top until that massive error
Almost 2
cairney fouled him for a pen surely?
Sporting to give them a goal start
not a lot from another angle

gives those 5000 travelling fans a short respite from the inevitable....
Embarrassing
our crossing has been woeful
until that one
How did Tosin miss that?
gotta bury that

How did Tosin miss that?
Got to get that one on target at the very least.
Poor contact.
For someone who's 6'5, Tosin should probably be scoring 5+ goals a season, especially when you consider our proficiency from set pieces.
He's scored 3 in his career with us, and Palhinha has 3 in half a season.
Still feels like we'll beat this lot
Shame they lost their CF
Still mad about Diop taking lower league opposition for fools.
Not seen much of Solomon yet
why is he out there?
GJ keeps saying "Burt (?) Leno", but surely it's Rodak in goal ?

Shame they lost their CF
Shame Palhinha's injured too.
Wilson looks like he has lost all confidence
This is crap. No movement, playing in front of Sunderland and no tempo. Crab like football currently
first glimpse of solomon
Manor has really quick feet doesn't he?
I love the way he uses his body to shield the ball from the defender too.
yeah wilson is well out of sorts

Looks lively with almost no help.
It's a difficult one isn't it. Wilson needs match time to rebuild his touch and confidence but we want to win games.
how does that not go in
How on earth did that not go in
first good move
Kurzawa beaten too easily, been hot and cold this game, clearly rusty but wont be taking robinsons place any times soon
Manor looks the best player on the pitch by a mile.
Wilson off for William
Mitro for Vinicius and we win this
what the living F is that yellow about ref- Grow up
Solomon is so quick
The ref is not great
Joao gets a yellow for winning the ball with his head against a high boot
God damn this is crap
wasnt it a yellow for the challenge on wilson?
Also - I think this game shows how important Harrison Reed is in CM alongside Palhinha - there's a gap in there and were not breaking up play in DM like we normally do
Wilson is awful this year. Awful!
Be interesting to see what Marco does at half time
I know he needs minutes but I'd have Wilson off at half time
We need to make a few changes at the half
phew thought that might have been 0-2
hopefully a couple of changes before the 75th minute...
It struck me that Wilson could have been close to a red there.
Not great, but I still think we've got this.
We need some changes at halftime. Decent display so far I thought, unlucky to concede after a stupid mistake from Diop(who's been great otherwise imo), we should have scored 2 goals at least (both Tosin and Andreas should have scored from their chances).
Mixed bag of performances, Solomon looks incredible and Pereira has been quality but no one else has had a noticeably good game. The full backs are giving Vinicius no service, Wilson is anonymous again and Vinicius is back to his early form - unable to hold the ball up and lacking that poachers instinct.
We need a goal to kick start things. The good news is Palhinha looks okay.
Get Wilson and Vinícius off, Mitro on. Vinícius is absolute pony.
I think we've got a goal or two in us, I hope Solomon scores because you can see he's frustrated.
Wilson probably needs more time on the pitch before I dig him out too much. Coming back from a major injury.
Hasn't seemed to stop Manor from showing his class that said though!
I think we have played fairly well against a team sitting back. Should have scored two goals, shouldn't have gifted one. Normally we are at least one, likely two goals up.
Poor support for Kurzawa, who clearly needs it. Vinicius very poor first touch. TC and Pereira running the show, but difficult to break through. Solomon looks promising, although rusty and not very used to playing with us.

He's not getting played in how he wants to be at the moment...people will get on his wavelength in time I think.
Vinicius poor today. Looks as if he is just waiting for someone to tee him up. Our defence doesn't look too solid either. We need to move the ball forward much more quickly.
Solomon deserves better. Also Kurzawa has been terrible and massively exposed without BDR covering him
We're making Roberts look like a world class player.
Wilson getting involved more now. Hope he gets a goal.
That's a really poor finish by Harry.
A confident/in form Harry would've finished at least one of those chances.

That's why he needs a goal
Ive seen enough of Vininius now Mitro time
2-0 beckoning....
Yikes
Kurzawa not looking good at LB is he
This is an appalling performance. Rodak, Tosin, Kurzawa, Diop, Wilson have all been terrible
when was the last time they scored...
We are living dangerously. Shows how weak our 2nd string are.
Get a grip Fulham ffs.
Sub time please Marco lets not hang about again
great from TC
TC sooo good.
Finally
Oh my Tom, take a bow
What a quality goal by Tom Cairney.
who needs a right foot
Lovely square up by Layvin there.
Delightful feet and finish by the captain
WHAT A GOAL THOUGH!!! GWARN TOM!
I was just about to complain about TC refusing to shoot!🥴
now that was taking the p1££
T.C!!!!!
COYSW!!!!!

Yup fair play good ball to cairney and great touch by Manor to get him in too
Only just got jome to listen to the commentary, good timing. 049:gif
Yeeeeees
He should get a second yellow for that moustache
The rest of them should look at Tom and then hang their heads in shame.
Mitro on
As frustrating as we've been today, I love this team
TC saving us. He still had so much to do there
greedy from pereira
manor wants one
Great challenge by Kenny
Great cup game this. Sunderland must fancy their chances of a playoff place if they play like this every week.

Great challenge by Kenny
Best right back we've had since Finnan.
Good job they can't finish. They're getting far too many chances. Good defensive blocks though.
Shame TC had to be subbed.
We need to get the winner now

I'd agree with that.
We've been better going forward in the second half but probably even more open at the back
I'd rather we lost than had to have a midweek replay up in Sunderland between two prem games. Winning today would be ideal though
We've lost our ability to dominate since TC and Palhinha came off.
Their keeper has played a blinder to be fair
in the 10 mins since tc and palhinha went off weve only had 2 meaningful attacks
Tosin and Diop passing out from the back has been terrible
And there you go..
What is it with us in cups.
Miles offside
Thank god for that
Whooooosh
no goal you mean
TC my MoM by a country mile.
Off by a mile
This is football. What a game! Well played Sunderland.
We definitely need some more CM options, let's hope these deals get over the line.
Got away with that.
Our names on the Cup.
thrilling end for the neutral
replay, crud
Last thing we needed was a replay
As said before, their goalie played great.
What a game
Fair play to Sunderland
But bugger me our left side of defense particularly was a complete mess today. Kurzawa wasnt terrible going forward but sluggish and beaten to easily in defense. Really hope Robinson stays fit this season!
We must make sure we finish the job up in Sunderland.
As we are going all the way up there we must make sure win it.

One more match is not a problem. We are not playing in Europe. If we aspire to success, we should not be fearful of playing matches. Unfortunately, I could only listen to the match today, but it sounded like a cracking game. I welcome another match like that.

Rather lose than have a replay? I just do not understand that attitude. We are more than comfortably placed in the league.

+1. A super performance by him.
We missed Ream
Have to give huge credit to Sunderland, they were great and young Amad Diallo on loan from Man Utd looks a real talent. Was very entertaining and draw is about right.

Fully agree. One more game isn't something we should be concerned about but a decent cup run certainly is.
