Meh, should start winning matches against lower league sides if they don't want to play lots of games. Everyone is moaning about our squad players lacking minutes so now they can get more minutes.
A snide way to ensure getting more minutes. Sneaky. #keep drawing

Too many nutmeg attempts and not enough football. too much dribbling not enough passing, sure the pitch wasn't great, but you can still take a touch and pass it, don't need to fumble around in possession until you're marked (or worse dispossessed)

Anyone that thought Toby should've played against Juventus just saw how off the pace (and poor) he was in that game.

Son was abysmal, Victor was meh.

Still should've won comfortably, but instead have another unnecessary replay that could end up costing us later down the line.

That is probably the last thing I'd be complaining about after this game... Vorm could do nothing about those goals.

He just doesnt fill me with confidence when he plays and i deel the defence feels the same. Not saying its his fault for the reult today just highlighting that i dont feel he is good enough.

We'll be fine. We need games for our second string. Be nice if they started getting the fucking job done though :D
It’s worth remembering as well, this was a team full of injured (returning from injury players that haven’t played for a long time). Haven’t played together all season. Whilst we should’ve had enough to comfortably win, I’m not too upset with the team.

Not fussed about the replay really, we have a lot of good players who desperately need match time to regain their best form. Look no further than Toby, Rose, and Winks, all of whom could be important in the run in and all of whom were very poor today (although Rose improved as the match went on).

Totally agree. I don’t even really feel annoyed, fair play to Rochdale for not giving up and getting a deserved replay that will help them financially. We’ll beat them comfortably on a bigger slicker pitch and get another 90 mins for some players that could do with it

This means the Palace game moves from the Mon night, that is a result if nothing else as hate playing Monday nights...!

Annoying though another midweek game, need to enjoy this week off as it be our last week off for a while.

But still in the cup, fair play to Rochdale but we should play reserves at Wembley again and get the job done, but just before playing Huddersfield at home and the big Juve game

It actually suits us to have another game. Some of this players are so rusty and they need games because we’ll need some of them before the end of the season . We can play 2 totally different teams in different comps. Not a problem
Play the same team again I agree no big deal gets the squad fitness levels up

What a junk comment considering that Trips started every one of the games against United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

And considering Aurier hardly lit the place up against Juve.

Today was a story of players off the pace, complacency, bad attitudes, and a poor choice of starting 11.

Another game which could’ve been so, so easily avoided.

He can't play defense. It's that simple really. Aurier makes mental mistakes. Those are correctable. Trippier's lack of athleticism isn't.
