We got what we deserved. and I even broke my diet to have a few tinnys.

I could have done with a few after that! :mourshock:
Been waiting for Ange ball for weeks and now I feel disappointed :ange-facepalm2:
Still season still ain’t over , league is still on! :ange-arms:
 
We looked flat after mid season break. Not sure ange respected pep too much tonight or pep really was up for it. We still need more quality in team. Was minus son, sarr and bissouma. Need a top striker now or in summer. Defence was great tonight. Lets be honest it was a free hit season for ange padticulatly after losing kane. Need a top striker asap.
 
Everybody whining that we've been dumped out of the FA Cup by an 'oil doped' club to somehow justify yet another trophyless season .....
Remember. We were dumped out of the other cup competition at the FIRST hurdle by Fulham.
Whoever the manager. Whoever the opposition.... .We just don't win trophies with ENIC

We lost to a better team. That’s how it works with cups.

This is a different team and a different manager to previous seasons. The signs are there that our chance to win things is coming.
 
Got a very favorable 5 games coming up now. 4 of those are at home. With the likes of Son, Sarr, Bissouma etc all to return within that time.

Let's go on a run and see where it takes us. Onwards and upwards. COYS
 
Not sure having Sonny would have helped today, unless it was some intangible that gave our players a bit more confidence in zipping their passes about. Needed a fit Madders more than anything else, as Ange ball isn’t happening if we don’t move the ball quickly and release the forwards.

Now we‘ve got to listen to the “Spurs win nothing” crowd crowing again :ange-bored2:

Understand the point, but I’ve seen games like that against City for years. And Son would have scored on a quick cut in and curled shot into the corner.

Honestly it’s the only way we’ve beat them.
 
Was working so missed this. Thought 'ah well, expected to go out, no biggie' but then checked the stats and saw 1 shot and 0.27xG at HOME to City. That's embarrassingly stale shite, what the hell happened for us to be that ineffective?
City were brilliant for the first 30 minutes.

We got better, were able to progress the ball towards the final third but fluffed pretty much every through ball.

The game mattered so we didn't turn up (from an attacking perspective) defending was solid.

When it matters we fold, probably get a bunch of disagrees again but that's the truth and we all know it.

It's these owners they have to step aside. They have mediocrity running through their DNA
 
Bizarre how the VAR check only took about 20 seconds
When you have super quick millisecond bank transfers surprised it took that long

Hhmmm. Another season left waiting for an FA Cup Final….

TBF Citeh were the better side tonight. Wasn’t for the lack of effort on our part, rather quality. Final ball and decision making was poor.

VDV had a monster of a game though. Impressive.
 
Richie could have played for another ten hours, he wouldn’t have scored.

He’s a trooper and runs his bollocks off but he’s never going to be the player that makes a difference at the top level. He can be a useful rotation player, hold the ball up (which he did well tonight) but he is limited. He’s always offside because he hasn’t got the pace to run in behind.

But he put in a huge amount of effort tonight.
I have to agree. He tries hard but you are never gonna win the league with him as the quality isn’t quite there. However Johnson is a bigger worry. Just don’t see what he offers. His final ball is appalling. Kulusevski as well is not the player he seemed to be either. Has never been the quickest physically and seems to be slow in the mind at the moment as well. Think we need fresh attacking talent but I can’t see Levy stumping up more cash to be honest
