It wouldn't have gone to extra time.

Lamela doesn’t merit a place in this squad anymore, awful tonight and at Fulham, just doesn’t offer anything

Quite. I'm sure I posted here (or thought about it): how nicely rested are that team? Them and Sports Entertainment Brand Manchester United. We, on the other hand...
A game of 2 halves which showed why Poch does need to strengthen and why he thinks he doesn't need to. Shambolic 1st half but showed good fight in the 2nd led by Rose. Full strength team and I think we would've won the tie.
I hope Poch and Levy don't allow the 2nd half to paper over the cracks. We desperately need reinforcements and Poch needs to not be so stubborn and look beyond his shortlist of the elite players. Levy needs to point this out and attempt to get a good enough player (or two) who Poch will be happy with, even if this means going a bit over budget.
We are the 10th richest club but don't spend like one, new stadium or not.
Oh, abolishing the away goals rules bloody sucks. Trust us to miss out.

Have a shot someone mentions, bottler or lack of mentality.
You'd wake up on Sunday.
Good. Much rather we play more games. I’ve never sat watching a game of football and thought I’m so pleased Tottenham aren’t playing today.
We ain’t winning no league anytime soon, so it doesn’t matter if we have a few rested for some mythical title challenge. I want to win a trophy, more games means more chance of winning this ever elusive poxy fucking trophy.
Lose to Palace and I’ll be royally pissed off. Fuck the top 4. I hate that finishing 4th is so important in football.

They are in their 15th cup final in 16 years. We’ve had 2 finals in 16 years.

Sick. Injury crisis and son leaving has fucked us over from getting to a final. Good 2nd half but not good enough

You've got more tolerance than me, old chum. I switched off as soon as Sideshow F****** Bob scored his penalty.

Said it all summer, that it would be the big moments where we would rue our business in the summer not at the beginning but at the business end where we just need that little bit more to get over the line. People just dismiss anybody who suggested it and then try and take some pathetic moral high ground because they're more willing to put up with the negligence of it whilst wanking themselves off because we beat 2 shit teams and a terrible United in our first 3 games. I love Poch to bits but he is being way too prideful if he feels that we have enough going forward, our midfield has/had 3 players with a history of big injuries and now one has gone and our players need help.

Is it not possible we might have just been a tad weary last 15 given everything the squad been through?
Two forced changes again tonight.
Incredible performance by the guys. They leave everything out on the foeld

I can’t believe anyone would still watch the programme after we lost!

What's worrying though is how different is this sort of performance to a lot of his recent ones prior to his injury? Not very to me. Seems to always just jog around as opposed to running around with intensity.
Unfortunately he just irks me at the moment and it might be because we've already seen better from him so maybe expect better but even his body language or lack of movement on the pitch I don't find to be as it should. I always think he should be frightening the life out of most defenders but he does nothing of the sort.
I just can't even remember him squaring a defender up out wide and trying to beat him round the outside or anything which seems like something that someone with his pace and ability should be doing often. Or even him getting the ball down anywhere on the pitch and travelling well with it.

Also I don't think Llorente can play much longer than an hour. He was totally gone at Fulham by the end. I'm probably a bit biased as I'm not at all convinced Lucas Moura is up to it, but I wouldn't have taken Llorente off unless absolutely necessary. Also Poch wasn't helped by how poor Lamela was, so once Nando was off we had absolutely no way of getting out.
