Some awful performances tonight.
Llorente
Son
Sissoko
Toby
All poor
nah. he's what, 33 and will be shipped out in the summer?Replay hopefully a chance for Llorente to redeem himself.
I thought Llorente and Sissoko were decent today. No complaints on Toby and Son. Wanyama also wasn’t on it, and neither was Winks.
He’s had enough chances.
No more
And now hearing Keith Hill being interviewed, saying it's pretty much the best moment of his footballing life...I can't begrudge him that.
He sent his team out to play, didn't play like a bunch of cloggers and weren't excessively dirty. Now he has a reward and without us being dumped out of the cup.
yeah, i'd rather we weren't; i'd much rather we were delivering competent performances and beating teams like rochdale and newport.
we have had the easiest run you could ever wish for and are making such a meal out of it.
son was crap, trippier was crap, wanyama was crap, toby was fudging dire. but all of that we can either accept or have reasons for.
sissoko's presence in the team, even when people will allege that he is ok, is incredibly detrimental. we are a passing team, with technical competence. you can't have muck like sissoko in the team and expect it not to be pernicious.
loorente too, is a genuine issue. we'd be better off either playing with 10 or putting son or someone up there. his lack of willingness to move, try, shoot, turn or jump blunts us to such an extent we cannot get by the likes of newport and rochdale. its simply not good enough. he cant do the business against the likes of newport, so i struggle to see where he can feature again this season.
play these two and immediately you probably arent favourites for any match.

Just wanted to come on and vent a few frustrations with the rest of the forum.
Its just mind boggling, but then not totally surprising. It doesn't matter who the opposition is, if you go into the game basically playing with 9 men you're going to struggle.
Saying that, its almost unfathomable that they have serve up that level of filth.
yeah fair enough. i still think that sissoko on the picture is a bad idea from the get go.Hmm except muck like Sissoko created our equaliser. We are giving players who have had limited game time some match fitness on some hard pitches. It’s not great but we are still in it and will raise our game when we need to. No need to panic imo.
Replay hopefully a chance for Llorente to redeem himself.
Can’t be surely.
I would expect Palace to get moved now as the cup takes priority at this point
Can’t agree with that at all. He frequently sings our praises.
We might need those players fresh - you never know what's going to happen to the first team.
Having Kane, Alli, Son and Lamela out on that pitch was too much of a risk to start with.
Poch you are brutal!He’s had enough chances.
No more
