@scat1620 if our season rests on the FA Cup 4th round tie against Palace away then I must have missed the memo at the start of the season.

Bang average line up for the most part, going out now is far better than dragging this shower of shit on with so many injuries.

I'm completely agree with both of you. He's certainly much, much better when he's wide right. I just feel like even the basic things he used to do well like beating a man and pressing have stopped. I'm hoping that next season he will really show us what he's capable of.

Please don't wait for next season! He needs to show it now. But, there isn't a player in this team, Trippier aside, who can place a pass (up the field). Our best passers of the ball are all at the back. It's been a problem for the team for ages and has never been addressed.

After the Chelsea 1-0 win I was seriously thinking we have a great chance for one of the cups this year. To be heading out of both within 4 days is absolutely demoralising.
We didn't do enough in the first leg then fell apart in the first half on Thursday like today they can't stay compact.
As you say demoralizing but oh so typical of how this club does things.

Well we are clearly shit when these players are gone. Plus the reason that some of that lot is injured is because we can't rotate because... Drum roll... Our backups are not good enough.
Wind your neck and open your eyes.

On the flip side of you think this is good enough well you would have loved us in the 90's.
There are players out there today that are backups to our backups and they're all playing at once. If you genuinely think that we're in a situation that could have been foreseen then I can't argue with you.

Hope Jan is just being saved. This could go from catastrophic to... whatever's worse than catastrophic if he's injured.
