I’d like Ange to apologies to the fans. Hand on heart he can’t say with that starting 11 he thought he could win. It would contradict what he said post match about seeing what these pkayrr were s are like. Which basically says he did t if they would be good enough. It’s not on to just 11 strangers on and hope for the best. The fans deserve more. Thought things would change with Ange and everyone hoped he would treat cups more seriously. Conte got big time stick for the SU debacle where they made just as many changes and we lost. Don’t Ange can get away with it as well.Come back from the game.
David Howells was sat in front of me.
Away support as usual was cracking, sang all game. Putney End was literally bouncing, which was disconcerting given it is basically all temporary scaffolding.
First half shit, eventually grew into in the second half.
But we've learnt no lessons from previous years. As I said in my post before the game, if we play the second 11 and rotate too much it'll end up being like Sheffield United all over again.
I wouldn't criticise Sanchez for missing a penalty, I've not read the thread but I can imagine the comments. Plenty of players have missed, penalties is a lottery. Shows once again his character for being willing to step up. Booed off and he still puts in the effort and takes responsibility, so kudos to him for doing that. He may lack quality, but I don't see anyone else who wanted to step up.
Personally I'd have said Son, Deki, Maddison, Scarlett and PEH should have been our 5 takers.
I knew we'd lose the shoot out, Forster is beyond useless at penalties. Literally got nowhere near any of them. Totally different to Gollini when we won against wolves 2 seasons ago. Forsters attempt at diving was beyond ridiculous. All in slow motion.
Same old shit, don't treat the trophies with respect and you'll never get rid of the trophy less tag. The club deserve what they get with that attitude. Unfortunately we as paying fans don't deserve that!
Looks de zirbi has out influenced him him with fati as well. 99% done then he steps in pkayer wants to play for him.
