A Trophyless Domestic Season

[RayCTID]

No different to 2016-2017. Plenty of work ahead but not completely beyond us in improving next season.

We've had many many more seasons without a trophy win than with one, we'll be fine

Apart from the 4 in a row, treble season and continuous exhaustion and the inevitable drop in energy and form, you’re right. Other than that though your post is nonsense.

 

[bluemoon32]

Absolutely. Having said that, we've now bottled two FA Cup finals in a row. If we'd gone out in the early stages, fair play, but if you get to the final, you should be winning it, especially if you lost the final last year against a team you should be better than.

If we're going to continue to be that insipid in finals we may as well go out in the first round ha

how do you feel about it?

Hopefully lights a fire up their arses.

Sometimes you need to lose.

Good, we haven't been consistent enough to win one. Massive game this week.

I am not attacking Pep.

I think some people's reactions on here are totally absurd to be honest.

Players are human. Some seasons you win. Some you don't. We can't just perpetually win every year. Some people need a big perspective check. They're acting like toddlers.

This team has absolutely spoiled us rotten with brilliance this last 10 years. The one year we don't win and we get a tirade of comments like "unacceptable", "disgusting", "disgraceful performance".

Fucking really? This team that has given us more amazing moments and happiness as a fan base than maybe any other club team in world football. They underperform for once and it's "disgusting"?

Christ. It's honestly a bit depressing.

One silver lining is that we don't have to get back early after the Club World Cup for the Community Shield.

Seat counters will be mortified

how do you feel about it?

It is what it is, excited to see what club do about it.
I wonder if Rags will start a new banner, ‘1’

We can't defend, and the ball into the channel and crossed into the box, we've conceded that goal double figure times this season especially down our leftside. It really is groundhog day every single match it seems.

Pep's tactics yesterday's football.

 

[jamielowndes]

It happens. We arent infallible and it's a bit of a wakeup call for some fans that have become a little spoiled.

It would save us a lot of money and grief if we choked in the 3rd round instead of the final

how do you feel about it?

These things happen. We play our way and do it without any help, if we don't win then that's the way it is.

 

[Micky Blue]

Not winning a trophy isn’t th big deal for me.
It happens.

However how we’ve played, the players we’ve brought in and pep’s meltdown in autumn is incredibly concerning.

The players we bought in January when compared to players previously acquired do not compare in terms of quality.

We’ve gone from the dominant force to also-rans.
We deserved to win fuck all.
I hope Pep can turn it around and Viana can bring in some players worthy of the shirt.

 

[B\connellblue]

Nothing wrong with not winning a trophy if the football is exciting and entertaining. It's not.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I'm ok about it. A bit disappointed we lost but happy for Palace fans. It's good to see them so happy celebrating their first major trophy, same when Wigan beat us. That's the magic of the FA cup.

 

[RiversideBlue]

Biggest concern is that we seem to have brought in a lot of mediocre players. Rodders will make a big difference but we don't have the depth to mount a strong challenge next season unless we have a really good summer transfer window

 

[kashmir]

Not winning a trophy I’m old enough to remember tens of years without a trophy, the youngsters today have been spoiled rotten,let’s see how they would react to a few trophy less years. Football comes in cycles and ours us coming to a slow and painful end
