[Beefymcfc]

Good to see.

[bigblue]

Way to lose momentum pep. Ffs.

We gonna end up losing this if this continues.

Waits too long to make obvious changes 90% of the time

[dave watson's perm]

Sané and Brown. Thank FCK

[Mikhail Chigorin]

Our fringe players are clearly not good enough

I think it was NottsBlue who alluded to this when, earlier in this thread, he wondered what they brought to the table, that youngsters such as Garcia and Diaz couldn't.

If we're going to play a weakened side, at this stage of the Cup, why don't we bring a few youngsters in ??

As has been said before, by all and sundry on this forum, they can't do any worse than some of the present squad players.

I'd have taken Fernando off rather than Delph.

[Beefymcfc]

Nolito is shite, navas not had a touch 2nd half

What annoys me is that they've had no game time but then expected to be up for it from the start.

Me too. Though Delph was more involved than either of the Brazilians

Agreed.

Delphi was probably our most active attacking player after Aguero.

That's a valid point, and all of our fringe players might've done well playing with a more full strength eleven. But if you take out the spine of the team and field almost only fringe players their deficiencies will show.

[london blue 2]

Good ball

[bigblue]

Type of game where you don't worry about missing anything when you have to take a piss

[Dameerto]

And instantly we look a bigger threat. I hope we clear a lot of our shite out over summer.

I would agree up to a point apart from when u get a chance u gotta grab it, they've been no where near

Delph woulda tapped that in

[aaron bond]

Wow! Otamendi just stood up against a player and didn't dive in. Don't think I've seen that before.

I know mate, asking players to be 100% when they've not played or played together is a big ask. Only now is Pep starting to realise that Huddersfield are no pushover, probably panicking due to a possible replay.

Agreed. It is always difficult to have any cohesion with rusty players, who don't play together regularly.

Of course, but I've not seen that many clear cuts. How many of these have scored since Christmas, can't be many?

[Moonchesteri]

Looks like we will finally get a home game in the fa cup

If you get paid as much as they do (and have been a professional for years) with a whole team of fitness coaches and nutritionists, there's no excuse. You're a pro, do your job.

Oh and good to see we're resting Kolarov for Tuesday...
