    It’s what you expect from De Gea now. Let’s not play him in the Europa League, Ole.

    Physical resistance? So you’d prefer him to foul Giroud and give a penalty away then...

    It’s clever play from a good striker. Lindelöf still slow to react but that’s Giroud’s bread and butter. He’s made a career out of movement like that.
    Okay so you have no idea what a centrebacks bread and butter is then

    I'm not a massive fan of Maguire but just contrast his handling of Giroud with Lindelof's. Or go back and look at Southampton's last minute equaliser. You don't need to concede penalties to put physical pressure on strikers.

    The run is ending, its all gone wrong for us today in every department. Just write it off as a bad day and go and beat West Ham.

    OK sub off the players who we desperately need fresh for Wednesday. This fecking stupid experiment in running players into the ground has failed. Again.

    Also, how the feck did Romero not get the nod in a cup game?

    De Gea abysmal, Williams poor, Maguire and Lindelof just backing off asking for him to shoot.

    Our players just look so leggy in comparison.

    Hope Ole didn't give the "play like a bunch of cnuts speech" at half time.
    Think Dave took it a bit too literally.

    Like I said, should have stuck with Romero.

    By the way, if Lampard had just started Giroud this season, they’d be CL qualifies already.

    Can't defend Dave today, but Williams hasn't covered himself in glory for either goal IMO. Probably not fully right anyway to be fair.

    Thought we still had a chance but feck it, no point putting on Pogba and Greenwood to try to salvage this

    Seriously, was actually surprised that Romero didn't get the call for an FA Cup match, even a semi-final. Going to be hard to turn this round, we look depleted now. Not enough gas left in the tank.

    Anyone else thinking maybe Ole going the Jose-Rooney route? Continually play him till it’s painfully obvious he isn’t good enough

    Said it for ages now. He is bang average and can't be relied upon.

    Bailly is the far superior defender. Just can't stay fit.

    One centreforward in the box and we can't deal with that.
    He's not compatible to Maguire, and he's fecking weak. The rest of CB are either crooked, or just shite. Now we're entertaining to let go Smalling for a mere 20m. We spent 80m for a marginally better CB. And people don't mind spending 30m for a far inferior and less experience Ake. Just fecking stupid.

    I'm actually fecking infuriated writing this.

    lindelof trying to pass the buck to maguire there for closing down his man. Just back off and backing off. :lol:

    Nonetheless, DDG was very poor. This tie is over.

    Taxi for De Gea.

    Sorry Sheffield looks like you'll be needing a new keeper next season.

    Missed the first half and walk in to see another error from our over paid keeper. Much point continuing watching or will I head out again?
