Dirty Leeds! FA cup (away)

[Tricky D]

That high line scared the shit out of me. They caught us properly napping. And yeah, Jan had a terrible game.

 

[Dannyboy]

I mentioned after the QPR how that game amplified our need for a creative midfielder and striker, today's match only reiterates that.

The loss of van der Vaart is proving more costly than Modric, I think.

Another season without getting to the FA Cup final - 22 years now.

Did we concede a third? I was leaving the pub during the breakaway from that corner and didn't see if the whistle went before or after the ball went in.

I thought our effort today was shocking. Flat out outworked. In particular I thought Bale's effort was appalling. He had 1 good five minute stretch with the assist. He loafed around a lot beside that.

Parker played brilliantly, everyone else was shit

edit: Except bale, he was alright

For the money, Wesley Sneijder would of done that job perfectly for a couple years, - like Rafa did.

Caulker reminded me of my little brother at times today... in case any of you were wondering my little brother is mentally handicapped

No, he blew before it went in. Other than that the reff was proper crap

Brown should have been booked about two or tree times before he finall got one in the last minute.
Ref also missed a clear bodycheck in BAE in the second half which could also have been a yellow

 

[WHITE&BLUE]

Dempsey up front alone? WHITE&BLUE IS PEAKIN

I wish I could have peaked...but alas...my Dempsey fandom is also grounded in reality and I know he is not meant to be up by himself.


Does anyone have the statistic for games lost when Dembele does not start?

 

[Freudlyuchenko]

The worst part for me was I was next to a guy who was cursing all the players for the last half hour

I don't have statistics and can't be bothered to look but I'm pretty sure we haven't lost when he's started.

I thought it was a good call to rest him today. Huddlestone is just a shell of his former self unfortunately. It is incredibly sad to watch actually. Such an important player for the club at a point.

Was he a voodoo priest?

 

[Norwegian Jim]

The main problem today was (again) poor finishing. After that first half we should have been two or three goals up.

 

[Furball man]

GET SLOT IN TEN YEARS FROM NOW !!!

 

[Freudlyuchenko]

Was he a voodoo priest?

Yes, he even cursed Huddlestone to go bald, though I don't know if thats a curse

I went fucking mental at that! Especially after the ref handed them fouls when running alongside / throwing themselves in front of Bale.

 

[Stag]

Back 4 were all dogshit.

We didnt take the competition seriously so we got what we deserved and are now out. If this isnt the wake up call to Levy that we need a number 9 and a number 10 then I dont know if he will ever get the message

 

[AberdeenYid]

Shows how far faith gets you.

 

[SadlerTHFC]

yet another season goes by not winning the FA cup
