#UnbeatenIn2016

Dearie me Begovic! That was close haha, got away with it though!

2-0, full time, we weren't brilliant, but job done.

We have some steel in us. That is good to see. Good to see Ruben score.

good result, they would of probably turned us over a little while ago

I think I'm in love vvith Ruben.

That was underwhelming. We should have been much better today. No disrespect, but it was a match against League 1 Sc**thorpe. Fair play to them, they played really well, but a match involving a Premier League side and League 1 side should not be this close. Hopefully we'll see an improved performance on Wednesday

Releived...can sleep well tonight..KTBFFH!!!

Happy with that. Not fantastic performance, but reasonably comfortable win and 1st goal for Ruben big bonus. I did like the look of Kenedy when he came on. Much more direct than Pedro.

All things considered that was a good win, and a reasonably entertaining match to watch.

Hats off to Loftus Cheek, slotted in great, didnt look out of place at all in our attacking three. Fine goal too, hopefully the first of many in a Chelsea shirt. Wouldn't be surprised if he features in the next match.

Willian MOTM for me, liveliest of our attackers. Closely followed by Ivan and Azpi (each with an assist too!). Happy days all round.

It's the F.A cup, it's never easy.

Job done, hopefully RLC and Kenedy can get more game time. Shame Traore didn't get more time.

Good professional performance and good luck on ourside also. 1 month ago that penalty decision would have gone against us. So happy with that let's now focus on West Bromwich which will be a easier game i believe.

RLC turned out good this game, kennedy had 1 moment of good dribbling, some of cesc passing was brilliance and zouma was  solid.. only problem with kurt is that maybe he should be calmer and keep his composure, don't just throw off possession for no reason.. well job done, good work.. 

Job done, Good finish by Reuben. We were a bit sloppy in the second half, not sure what the outcome would have been if the penalty had been given. I'd like the Gooners now at the Bridge in the 4th round.

Decent win in the end. Pleased for Loftus-Cheek, wasn't expecting more than about a 5mminute cameo, so good to see him get some minutes and a well taken goal.

 

I think the FA cup is probably all they will get though this season, Hiddink and the board will want to keep pushing to climb the table as hard as they can, to try and get some european football.

We weren't spectacular but we got the job done which is the most important thing especially in the FA Cup!

Brilliant to see the 3 subs being youth players that are getting their chance alongside first timers.

Kenedy - a lot of energy when he came on, gives us a different dimension. He was unlucky not to win a pen IMO.

RLC - Done well, a few good runs, and of course got his first goal for the first team, offers a lot more than Ramires but would have preferred him in CM as he didn't look overly comfortable so far forward for me.

Traore - didn't really have time to make an impact.

So overall a pretty successful day, rode our luck at times with the pen they should have had etc.

Edit: feel like I have to mention Cesc, back to spraying passes across the park & looking like his old self, I appreciate its league 1 opposition but it's good signs!

One negative is Ramires still looked poor despite the opposition.

In hindsight Guus was right to respect them with a strong starting 11

glad the 3 lads got their chances. RLC goal capped off a hard fought win.

Hope Costa's limp goes away before Weds.

Carefree. Uneaten in 5 !!!

Yep, Europa League is still possible at this point, that would be better than nothing.

All that matters is we got through, we did not want another Bradford on our hands.

Nice goal by rlc, agree with those saying it was like seeing what frank did many times.

Hope Diego is OK for wba. It is interesting bamford could not ever make the bench. Maybe a new loan is planned for him?

Dissapointed with the starting line-up. If youth isn't going to play against Sc**thorpe than who the hell are they going to play against? And Baba is getting even less playing time than with Mourinho...

Guus saying that the youth players should get more of a chance going forward.

Ramires is always poor even when he scores.
