But if we meet Utd a 4th time this season i hope it will be in the semis rather than losing to them again in the final lol No chance FL and the players will allow these cunts to beat us again. I would love to fuck them over in the final Vesper and Strike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I wished other people would follow suit and not set unrealistic expectations and likewise not criticize based on one-two subpar performances and look at the bigger picture.

Flavour of the month the suddenly, villain of the month. Two good games and suddenly you are wc. It is similar with CHO last season. Both are very good but very good for young player. They will go up and down. Supermonkey92, OhForAGreavsie and Vesper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And RLC really is not back up to speed in any shape or form yet. A million apologies for doing this, and one hundred thousand requests for forgiveness, but I just can't help it. I hate the expression 'revert/reverting back'. It is horrible, ugly and bad English. Revert/Reverting says all that needs to be said. Reverting implies 'back', that's its meaning. Adding the word back is not needed at all. Forgive me this time please. I'll try not to do it again. zico21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 The FA Cup semi finals will be on July 18/19. That means our game at Liverpool that weekend will likely be postponed to a few days after that. The draw will be done during HT of Newcastle vs Man City.

King Kante 1,643 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Strange game. Leicester look in trouble in my book, they should have won that can 3-1 but somehow contrived to lose it 1-0. For me, Kova was MotM but I think it also proved that there are certain squad players that need to go as they are either poor of inconsistent.

Stats 7,145 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Zouma and Rudiger were fantastic second half. Generally Rudiger was top notch all game. He got my MOTM. Pulisic again was electric and Kovacic and Barkley coming on changed the game. Although our CB look suspect, one thing I give to them that helps against teams with fats forwards is that we probably have the fastest group of centre backs in the league. Zouma and Rudiger was not able to be beat for pace. They were solid as hell second half. Did not give Vardy a sniff. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0007 511 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I'm glad we are going to Wembley but the performance was average. Barkley's footballing IQ is very low but I'm afraid that Lamps will be satisfied to see him score. Kovacic should definitely be the first name on the starting sheet as some of you mentioned.Kante in front of the CBs doesnt give us any control on the game and I don't like the way Frank persists with him since the restart. We need to settle our back 4 and the midfield before buying another forward. As much as I like Havertz, we have far bigger problems.The way we set up and play these days is very different from Lampard's first 3 months here. I feel like he is not sure what to do with our midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure how much that was to do with them and how much it was to do with Kova getting hold of the ball in the middle. For me, they were really poor in the first half - Rudi in particular pulling out one of his 'lose my man, even though he has done nothing other than run off me' specials on the set piece - then in the second they didn't have much to do as we stepped up the pitch. Maybe, I am being harsh but I actually thought they were poor overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
