Why? Didn't see the game but there was both no mention of Christensen being poor and it only went tits up when we took off Salah!

As Barbara said, whenever we don't play Matic we're shit!

Matic played against Tottenham and Liverpool...

I'd love to see Jose's press conference. We usually try and play for everything and maybe..... with City being out of everything, this could be a good thing. I only wanted the league this year, this makes it more possible. We'll get a week off as opposed to 3 days when the UCL is back. This could be a good thing.

Lol. They're not first team players. 7 league appearances BETWEEN them this season.

Should've known you'd suddenly appear after a result like this.

You are the one blaming here mate, liking stupid posts like that one and making silly excuses. You try to justify the fact you liked a stupid post, and I care more about stupidity than about a FA Cup result. thats why Im here.

Haven't seen the match, so I obviously can't talk, but there's a reason why Mourinho sticks with the starting XI he does.

Unfortunately our squad has little bite. When you need a match winner - even against a league 2 side - in the last minutes of the match you can't find one within the squad.

The bench players have been awful.

And please, don't tell me they're this bad because they don't play... they practice everyday, they SHOULDN'T lose a 2-0 lead to a league 2 side. They're shit. Mikel, Ramires, Cahill (although this one here is first team material apparently), Salah - all names you heard from the commentators in the goals we've conceded.

It seems like Christensen and Zouma had good matches - which proves even further that this shouldn't be an excuse to crucify Mourinho. Actually Zouma played well in every single match he started for us and they're far and distant apart - meaning he also has little playing time. So let's stop with the excuse that those squad players don't play better because they don't play enough.

I don't blame José for not mixing up much. We have a bunch of chokers in the squad, which is sad. That 2004-06 team won so much because there was bite, players were warriors, they hated losing as much as Jose did (does), but they had spirit. The current squad choked last year and keep having those horrific matches from time to time.

There's been absolutely technical improvement, but it seems to me what we need the most is character improvement. We need players that are stronger mentally, that are tougher, that hate losing, that die in the pitch fighting. we have a few who are quite the opposite of that and I believe that's what kept us from winning last year despite not having a brilliant team and I hope that it won't repeat again this year (this year being brilliant though).

I said exactly the same thing :)

Love Barbara's thinking - always agree :) :)

Losing at home to a league 1 side after being 2-0 up, can NEVER be a good thing.

I'm sorry but that was nothing short of embarrassment. Had 2-0 lead and we completely imploded against a League One side at HOME. Mourinho said a defeat here would be a "disgrace" and he's definitely right. This is absolutely disgraceful. I don't care if that wasn't the best XI put out by Mourinho there. That team had tons of experience and should NOT be bottling up the 2-0 lead, especially when it was against a lesser opponent. :doh: :doh:

Matic played against Tottenham and Liverpool...

and he had a bad match in both, because you know, he's human, has been playing every match that is there to play and is entitled a few off days throughout a long season.

What I mean is without Matic - playing well or playing at all - we're vulnerable because we don't have good enough pivot players to replace him and because it exposes how fragile our defense can be.

cahill is a walking liability, I don't need to watch the match to know at least one goal has to be credited to his account. I'd be utterly surprised if he isn't guilty at all.
