Soldado was anonymous, didn't get involved much, hardly ran. A stroll basically. Didn't exactly look like a player wanting to impress fans.

Paulinho and Dembeles touches were woeful and ruined most potential attacks but at least they showed for the ball. Soldados excuse for work rate was disgusting.

I don't fucking believe you.

He works hard and gives 100% every single match, he would run through brick walls for the cause.

Poor Bobby.

Good result. Not easy coming from a game like Chelsea at home. We are in these competitions to win them. Thank God for that. Good to see us still in it.

This season is turning into a good one! Keep the faith! COYS!

You were dying to hear this weren't you? Just to justify your hatred for Bobby. What if you heard ( I am assuming you didn't see the match) that he had had a good match? Probably would have fucked your day.

10th vs palace a
14th vs Burnley h
17th vs Sunderland h
21st vs Sheffield h
(24th vs Leicester) h
27th vs Sheffield a
31st vs west brom a

Now we certainly have a heavy schedule this month...but these are definitely the teams to play, all very win able games. Tough out this month we could still be on unbeaten run in league, advance to finals in league cup, advance to 5th round in fa. Time to man up, build even more confidence then smash the scum and dippers come February


That's exactly why I didn't give a shit if we lost this game.

Makes you appreciate the work of Mason + Bentaleb more.
A good partnership in the making.
shame we now have so many matches without the duo as there is no natural replacements to implement Pochs style of play

Weirdly, I didn't care much about this either - which makes me a little sad as the FA Cup is a great cup to win. More so than the league cup which I am genuinely excited about.

Our fixture list is ridiculously heavy as well, could we end up the season with the most games played out of any team in the league?

Perhaps we should lobby Danny Boy to have us withdraw from all competitions next season aside from the Wortless Cup?

Not sure where in my post I implored the chairman to withdraw us from all cups aside from the League Cup (which by the way offers the same reward as winning the FA Cup and in which we are one game away from a cup final)

Felt sure we had a twenty five man squad.......

Which is why I said fringe players and kids. Are the fringe players not part of our 25 man squad!?

At the end of the day the replay is the lowest priority of our games this month and should be treated as such when it comes to team selection.

Worst game of football I have ever witnessed. Everything about the game was crap; from the huge random gap between the rows where I was standing to the completely empty opposite stand. Even the programme was absolute toss.

Soldado, Pauliniho, Dembele and Stambouli should be ashamed of their performances (although by Paulinho's standards, he probably had a good game). Club should refund the fans for that crap.

My Mrs has pulled an all nighter to get her uni assignment done because of the game last night. Hardly seemed worth it now.

Also, you got 5 loyalty points for Burnley in the league at home, but only 4 for this. I have no idea how they dream these up. Should be given a loyalty point bonus for last nights shower

Poor Bobby.

I like Soldado and want him to succeed and whilst his play around the box is good, actually don't think he does make all the runs he should. Even MOTD, known for its rubbish analysis has pointed out a number of occasions when he should gamble but doesn't.

That's a striker lacking confidence.

As Gary Linekar once said, everyone used to compliment him on an incredible run that led to a goal but not on the other 20 or so runs that had led to nothing.
