Rose had a half decent second half. Which automatically qualifies him out of the bracket of the other 3.

I thought Trippier was awful as well, so many chances to deliver the ball under no pressure and pressed the wrong button.

Agree Rose and Trippier but Wanyama was decent that game, virtually on his own against three players for most of it. Four players once Poch idiotically dropped Sissoko back there.

Fair play to Rochdale, for what? We were shit for large stretches of that game.

There was enough on the pitch at the start to be winning that match.

Fucking replay.

Love Poch, I genuinely do. But...

How. The. Fuck. Did. Son. And. Wanyama. Remain. On. The. Fucking. Pitch?!
I assume because Poch was not ready to hand Lucas 90 minutes - given the limited games he has had this year. And with us needing offensive subs, it meant Wanyama stayed on instead of Dier coming in.

Plus - Wanyama needs minutes.

KWP -> Rose, Trippier
Anyone -> Sissoko
Janssen, Soldado, Pavlyuchenko, Adebayor, Coulthirst, Reo Griffiths, Kazaiah Sterling -> Llorente

Not sure what you can say about that shower of shit but fair play to Rochdale, they deserve it. Not too bothered about having to replay this as by the looks of it some players need game time which is the only excuse I can offer them at the moment.

We'll win comfortable at Wembly.

Hope we get Swansea because we will pick unsharp players if it's Sheffield and go on with a poor attitude again, and probably get done

Nothing less than Rochdale deserved. Some newer fans don’t value the FA Cup but this is what it’s all about, and for the Rochdale fans, what an amazing exciting time for them.

Of course I would have preferred us to have won and not have to play another match, but it our own fault for not stepping up. There should be a gulf in class, skill and fitness, but what doesn’t make a difference between a multi millionaire football player and players on a team levels below, (who probably don’t make too much more than the average national wage) is willpower, determination and the drive to win.

Rochdale deserve their day at Wembley and it will be an amazing day out for their fans and players alike.

Our arrogant attitude toward all cup competitions barring the Champions League over the past ten years leaves a lot to be desired

How have we been arrogant? Or do you mean the second string players who haven't shown enough respect to get the result done?

Selection fine by Poch. We are injury free with players who need game time. Past our horror stretch. The second string should get it done and will at Wembley.

The only worrying thing for me is that this second string don't show the burning desire to get into the first team. Results like this don't bode well for certain players who probably believe they are first teamers but might find they are no longer..

Yep, and wasted that final chance to get the ball into the box right at the end to top it off.

He should of shot across the keeper - who could of spilt it or knocked it out to someone for a tap in, or an OG....just play the percentages with 10 seconds to go, but no he bumbled for the tenth time today.

That summed up an immensely frustrating performance from him. He's a class player but days like today he really needs to eradicate.

Nah, that's on Trips for not closing that cross off and Toby great flick.

Trippier’s had a poor game but how can you absolve Sissoko from that, he was first man out there, just stands there and fucking points? What the fuck was he pointing at? Seriously?

Yup which explains why we played so much better second half. Your agenda against Sissoko is sickening.

Well done Rochdale. I don't think the replay is that big a deal, all the players who started apart from Son needs the game time.
I know Danny Murphy thought Foyth was taking too many touches in the first half but I think that was rubbish. I love his composure, hardly put a foot wrong and on what I have seen will become my favourite player.
