1. Anthony Taylor was rubbish. Practically gave the game to Arsenal. 2. We were shit. Offered ZILCH after the first 10-15 minutes. We have gone from Eden Hazard FC to Christian Pulisic FC. 3. Three injuries and two of them were bloody hamstring/muscle injuries (after a free week!). I don't care what anyone says but questions must be asked of Lampard because this particular injury has happened far too often this season! 4. Our record against Arsenal with the back 3 ever since Conte introduced it in the team has been atrocious. It's something like 2 wins in 10 games and 1 of them came after switching to a back 4 midway through the first half. 5. Another game to come where we are 3-0 down on aggregate with practically ZERO chance of turning it around. What a stupid end to the season.

Free week and two muscle injuries in one game...

Don't you mean Werner?

Back 3 again. Kante on bench. No Willian at all. Still not fit I guess. Jorginho-Kovacic midfield.

Kante on the bench. Willian not in squad. Back 3 again.

Werner in the stadium with the lads. Not sure about Ziyech.

Pick something more interesting and to have them only for like less than 5 minutes is nonsense. A waste of time.

lol Yeah and can't believe the fan asked what was the last thing Werner watched on Netflix when he/she got to ask him ONE question and it's about TV shows!

Am watching the thing and it's kinda cringey...

And yet when new players join us, they talk about the winning mentality the club have, they talk about the club are always challenging and winning trophies etc. If the Premier League and Champions League are the be-all and end-all, am sure they would not have said that and/or would not be so keen to join us considering we do not always challenge for the league title or Champions League every season. The consistent winning culture, fostered by winning domestic cups as well as the Premier League and European trophies, has been one of the main attractions for players over the years. The difference between us and Arsenal is that we always have been in a better position than them to make it count and consistently win things, even when we have average seasons etc. And this is all the more relevant now considering what we are building for the future. A win here would give them a big confidence boost. I can assure you that this has nothing to do with being English. It is the fact that we are in a proper cup competition and that there is a major (domestic) trophy waiting to be won. Go ask fans on social media and am sure you will see many non-English fans are keen to win the FA Cup as well as the English ones.

This is a proper cup tournament, not one a one-off game for a trophy like the Community Shield. Since we are in the final, it’s kinda BS to say it doesn’t mean much, particularly it is the FA Cup. Lots of players, especially the younger ones, haven’t won a single trophy in their career and winning it would help give that winning feeling and breed that winning mentality in the team, much in the same way it did when we won the League Cup under Mourinho in 2004.

That is because we weren’t in it. Why would any of us even bother with it? But it was a different case with the Europa League final last season, wasn’t it?

Not sure what to expect from this final and not sure if I can take the disappointment if we lose it.

JESUS. FUCKING. CHRIST.

Soul searching? Are you okay, Tomo?
