Well, at least after Sunday we can go for an all out assault on the top 4

There is definately room for raising questions over signings during 4 last windows, no doubts.I'm pretty pissed off with the players but don't care now we're out and now we can focus on the cup and the league.
I'm just annoyed with players like
Basically the backup players. They were given 2 games to show what they could do, show if they were good enough to play in a premier league game, and what did they do? BOTTLE IT!
- Soldado
- Davies
- Stamboulli
- FAZIO
Stamboulli was the best of that lot and was average, I think you need to be showing your teamates and coach a lot more than average to be a first team player. Chriches to be fair was out of position. Soldado was his normal self and Fazio a liability. Davies annoys me because he looks like a wet blanket, at one point he just stood there and watched Salah stand still for 2 seconds, no effort to win the ball back! He seems to never take his man on or show any aggression which as a full back you should have in buckets!
All these players cost a fortune and were intended first team players. Baldini needs a kicking, just because he bought 1 or 2 decent players out of a possible 100 does not make him good! If I worked for a business that bought investments and bought 2 good and 12 flops I think I would get the sack!
Rant over. Lets go to Wembley.
This time last year we lost 4-0 to Chelsea, 1-0 at home to Woolwich and 4-0 to Liverpool in roughly the same length of time. Suck your bottom lip in.
The facts of the first game. In which we first dominated, then scored (ykw), then was in that wonderful position which you claim we would be in today, if only Soldado hadn't fucked up.
Only we as a team fucked up that position too. We lost control of the game, failed to create, failed to press and conceded another stupid goal (for which a single soul is not blaming Walker, lol).
Those are the facts from the first game. We were in the exact same situation YOU claim we would be in, if only Soldado had not fucked up. Those are hard facts. Did you see that game?
If your stream goes tits up let me know I'll FaceTime ya if your not to busy writing on here mid game :adelol:
What's left of the Roberto Soldado fan-base....
There is definately room for raising questions over signings during 4 last windows, no doubts.
I honestly don't know how we ended up qualifying for this shit again after last season. I was confident that the only positive from that sewage of a season was that we wouldn't end up in this competition but somehow we keep finding ourselves completely lost and bewildered on yet another shitty Thursday night away. It's like a fucking nightmare we can't escape.
Doubt he'll play much for us again. After sunday, Kane will only be playing roughly once a week. Unless injured he barely ever needs to be subbed.
And AFAICS there is a strong argument to play Dier or Fazio as aux targetmen rather than field Soldado and Adebayor, in case we need to crack open teams who park the bus.
Not taking into consideration a reality-conflicting late season goal haul, I cannot possibly imagine him being here past august 2015. Fee must by now be considered complete write-off.
Oh, right... because previous games always dictate how future matches play out. I forgot that was how football works.
Tell me, what's the point of two legs, then?
We've lost to Liverpool again in this period, and if we lose the cup final it'll be another loss to Chelsea. So that's 2 out of the 3 you said. You add in the fact it's a cup final rather than a league game, and we've also gone out of Europe playing terribly, I'd say that was worse.
Whether it's sarcasm on your half or you do actually get the point i was trying to make I hope you enjoy your day out and hope the family do too. I hope we all fucking do !I see where you are coming from mate and I'm sorry if I came across a bit over the top, had a shit day at work, a week of bad news and this bad performance put the cherry on the cake, usually I don't get this mad at a game but this match really ruffled my feathers with our major dominance and defensive woes, I will be at Wembley on Sunday just as I attend every home game and the reachable away games, if you don't want me to go, so be it, that's your opinion, I'll sell my tickets and ruin my family's experience if you so wish, once again sorry for my bitchyness, hope you enjoy Sunday ochbye:
Don't get me wrong, it's not like I just noticed it. But what the point in selling Dawson and buying Fazio? He's just a taller Dawson who doesn't come from Yorkshire.
Got to remind ourselves that however frustrating all this is at the end of the day this is just a transition season:avbpray:
