It's a poor comparison. With game time and playing to his strengths Llorente is a worthy player. Rasiak was never ever a premier league player.

Exactly. Look how Man Utd deal with lower league teams barely ever have the issues we do. The stuggles to beat lower league teams has happened too many times under Potch for it not to be an issue.

Crystal Palace (A) – now Monday 26 February, kick-off 8pm – Sky Sports*

*In the event of either ourselves or Crystal Palace being involved in an FA Cup fifth round replay during the week commencing 26 February, the Premier League match will revert to Sunday 25 February, kick-off 12pm, live on Sky Sports.

Not the end of the world. We'll beat them at Wembley and plenty of our squad need the minutes, apart from Sissoko, obviously, who should never play another single minute of football for the rest of his life.

Mate, I'm no Sissoko fan by any means, but you really have it out for him don't you?

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.

Yep, I actually thought he was just gonna drill it across goal with his left which he actually does a lot anyway but like said, just bumbled with the ball and lost it.

It's times like today, on a questionable pitch and when just a few right passes in the final third would see us create plenty, I think we just needed just more composure out there on the pitch. I know he won the penalty, but even Alli I don't think was the right player out there today as he can struggle to retain possession at times too. Lamela had to start this one for me. In fact whenever Eriksen isn't there I personally think Lamela really should be.

It happens. To the best teams in the world, this sort of thing happens.

Get upset if we don’t beat them in the replay, but honestly, drawing a game like this is standard stuff in the cup, and means the grand total of fuck all.

IDK if it's our mentality or if it's the lack of an adequate back up for either Moose or Eriksen. We need somebody to run games out there when both are off the pitch.

I have only seen a few of the players Man U had playing, but looked more of a stronger line up than us? correct ne if im wrong.

Are Sky going to allow it to be moved and not have a televised game that night? It'll probably just be that Wednesday and we'll have two games in three days. Can't have it this week as Rochdale have a game with Franchise FC. Can't be the week after our Palace game as we've got Juventus.

Just posted the quote that Spurs stated when it was moved, it will be moved to next Sunday 1200 kick off, I assume still on Tele

No surprise since Poch brought Dele on we've started to control the game. Just baffled it was Lucas and not Son to come off.

I think another Scer posted that Moura was looking a bit tired so that could be the reason why he was taken off. Once he gets through more of Poch's commando training, he'll get fitter.

But the big positive is that we now have a genuine attacking option for the run in of games left this season (and beyond).

Bit of a silly take, given that the only genuine “second string” players in the XI today were Vorm and Foyth, who both played perfectly well.

Winks; Moura; Llorente; Sissoko; Foyth are all second string. Moura may move up sooner or later.

Son is the certain first 11 starter for mine at the moment. Toby has a long way to go to prove himself over injury and form for mine. Rose and Wanyama now clearly behind Davies/Dembele/Dier.

That's what I mean by second string.

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.

Missed a sitter from 3 yards out, casually strolled back as Rochdale's goalscorer ran past him totally unmarked to equalise. We know what Wanyama's capable of and he's been out for a long time, but he was as poor as anyone today.

Bus-Conductor said:
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?

I wasn't absolving Sissoko. It was a lack of defensive effort on both their parts but it's job 1 for the RB. We just weren't at the races as a team today.

How Poch let us be outnumbered in the MF all day is annoying. Someone needs to be in the hole to (want to) pick up the ball from Winks and Wanyama. Neither can penetrate the lines reliably like Dembele. Eriksen or Lamela, it's simple but apprently Poch doesn't see it that way.

tttcowan · Feb 18, 2018

It's not much of a suprise that winks played better when sissoko got chucked out on the wing and out of his way.

Thought team selection was fine. Subs were odd. But we've got a lot of players in need of game time so the result is fine. 2nd 11 for the home replay please.

You'd play them as a front three?

Blackrat1299 · Feb 18, 2018

The highlight of my day, watching Lucas Moura play football.

I don’t doubt he’ll play the first team in a semi final. Silly comment.

We could’ve easily got knocked out today. And with that draw we’ve got a semi final on a plate. I’m not commenting on whether he was right or wrong, but cup is clearly not a priority.

Don't think that's fair. Picked a team balanced and talented enough to win easy.

And we made the Semis last year.

Just not true to say Poch doesn't care about the FA cup. Evidence suggests otherwise.

Don't hate on son
