I can understand and take a loss to one of the best teams around but it's the way we lost for me. Last chance of a trophy and we didn't play with anywhere near the intensity city did. They wanted it more. It did feel a bit like a conte whimpering performance yesterday. It may not of been our first 11 but there was enough out there to muster more than one shot and cause city a few problems Atleast on the counter as I don't expect us to dominate the ball vs them.

Did he now...? After 5 attempts...? Awww, I feel his pain! Poor diddums.... Didn't stop them sweeping up every trophy on the planet, did it?
Funny when you think about it, 'cos we once had a Chelsea hoodoo over us for about 15 years! ...and have been trophy less since 2008!
Some hoodoos stick for half a generation, but when City are involved, they just pay their way out of them sooner rather than later...
But do we get the opportunity to go through to the 5th Round given back to us?
Never used the word angry and cheers for the offer of a break even though you haven't offered to pay for it just like you don't pay for my season ticket (I avoided the temptation to abbreviate to ST) and therfore have no jurisdiction over my post match depression.
We aint winning fuck all with these losers.
Lol fair enough
Look at the goal again build up. We have the ball Vic gives it to cuti who cheap it over our pen box to VDV who then passes back to Vic. Vic then kicks it but only to city player inside our half. They then attack and kdb shoots gets corner. In the 87th min we are at home and pissing about with the ball at the back deep in our pen box! We saw all game them pressing us and we never beat it. If he clears the ball further up field we don’t give them an easy run at our goal. In fact although Vic has been great he never gets any real distance when kicking the ball. Actually no one in the team except Porto at times can kick it long and over the top or never attempt it.
Basically we shit ourselves in the foot with conceding that corner. We were playing for a fucking draw so pissing about with the ball at the back.
That’s how we play.
Sometimes it doesn’t work, usually it does. We need to get better at what we do, not stop doing it.
A sh!t draw for us was how it looked and how it proved to be..
City are still the benchmark.
Bounce back Wednesday, no lasting harm.

I dunno, I’m not one for ignoring personally.
The melting is annoying but if it makes people feel better then fair enough.
Why wasn’t the team up for it with at least some pressing? We came out if the blocks v barcodes with half our team missing. Yet v city we just let them pull our pants down. Number of times during the game I’m thinking someone fucking tackle or kick them but we just were so passive. Even Ange said that but surely the team talk before the game should have made sure we weren’t so passive! Home crowd, evening KO, fa cup v city with fans expecting us to give it a real go even if we lost. However we can’t even say that after losing. We didn’t turn up and shame on some of the players who did not put in the desired level of committment. Lots of people made big effort to get to gane for a Friday evening game and left very disappointed. Even a 2-3 or something g would have entertained the crowd. We provide no enjoyment at all apart from a few occasions.
Oh Jeez.
I remember "fans" having a go at Redknapp because he didn't celebrate goals "in the right way"
of all the things that are irrelevant it is your post
ridiculous
No pint getting a goal scorer if we can’t get the ball to them?
Let me ask do we win that game buying Conor fucking Gallagher who expect must have played v villa in their 0-0 draw.
And some people’s second coming of Christ in deki. Who prbly doesn’t get in the front three of say dippers, city, goons, villa or even chavs.
I think what he means is that Ange doesn’t look angry , disappointed almost blase about losing. He said he though were too passive in the first half. We’ll get on your hands out of your over coat and start gesticulating to the players. Give them a bloody rocket to get their arses moving. He stands closest to Johnson surely he can see he needs to do more.
It was frustrating. Even when they had 9 players in our half pressing we tried to play through it. The first time we pressed them in numbers they just played over the top with a long diagonal to Bobb.
Have to say I do like oasis and noel gallagher high flying birds but noel gallagher really is an arrogant cunt as a city fan. Thinks he knows the game and probably cant kick a ball straight. A lot of fans out there like that.
The way I see it is same old really we lost we are out it's forgotten.They blew us away really could have been 3 or 4 we didn't really have a shot being the home side. We are a top 6 side that's about it
