Must say I am surprised at what I am reading here (but tbf I could only be arsed reading from when Felli scored). I am usually right on Moyes' nuts belting out the positivity but I wasn't that impressed tonight tbh. It's easy to get thrown off by the good atmosphere and the buzzing induced by a prospective cup run. We weren't good going forward and I suspect that had Felli's header looped over, this place would be in meltdown. Just my opinion and maybe it was influenced by the people around me at the game but not one of our players played well tonight.
Duffy was good enough and apart from one shaky moment first half and a few stray passes and heitinga was decent too but things fell apart a bit up front due to the straq being a bit gash. Baines was poor, I thought. I put that down to Gueye though. He gave Leighton no license whatsoever to get forward. Felli was decent but there were a few stray passes, however, the header was boss. Cahill put in a great shift and was ok too. Neville and his chips.... oh my God. It's time Nev. Time to go.
Moyes frustrated me a bit. He should have brought Vic on for Straq sooner (can't believe Vic managed to get himself injured in 3 minutes) and the everyone back for the corners malarky just causes problems. One out man would make a world of difference. Even if it just delayed the ball coming back in by a second or two, the players would have more time to get out and reduce the pressure.
I am torn as to who to play up front now. Straq tries but Saha has ability. I guess the deciding factor is Straq scored tonight and Saha, well, never scores. If we beat City I will genuinely piss myself and every player on that pitch will be a hero. Same for a draw.
Just fapping over being in the draw for the 5th round as much as anything. Home draw please. And not Chelsea again FFS.
