What the 'momentumists' fail to realise is that there was a real risk of 'burn out' (not to mention injuries) had we continued to play our top players in every game.

Momentumists great description

Our recruitment needs to improve. The squad depth isn’t good enough thankfully the medical staff have worked wonders this year. Phillips, gomez, palmer need replacing

Nowt to do with squad depth.

No professional player is giving 2 fucks about a meaningless game they are only playing in as the big boys are being protected.

How can you not see that?

 

[xgorton]

Not that I'm superstitious or anything but they can fuck the new kit off for the two finals as far as I'm concerned.

That have done mate,this season's home kit for both finals.

I wasn’t basing my opinion on just this game tbh. I never thought Phillips was up to our standard I even posted as such before we signed him. Gomez was clearly a panic buy once cucurella fell through and is champ standard at best and palmer has constantly shown to have ability but also looks as though he is playing within himself. Personally I would like to see mcatee take his minutes next season and I firmly believe tommy Doyle is a better player than phillips (Albeit probably also below the standard we require)

I’m making a judgement of what I’ve seen in the flesh particularly over last few weeks,with a couple of fringe players,to be quite frank are crap,and not what this squad has had in past few years,so if this is the back up,which I doubt it is,then we are in a bit of trouble,but either way they should be binned as deemed not good enough

I’ve read a post on one in particular with a few saying they don’t know football if they think he’s crap,which is again laughable,strength in depth has always been a trait we’ve had in recent years,we haven’t now……..at the minute

So match thread reaction my fucking arse

I know it's hard being a blue at the moment but look on the bright side. At least the league is over and we don't have to suffer having to watch any more players who aren't world class.
Pep is on record as saying he doesn't like to play with a big squad. So the fringe players often get very little game time. So if its Gomez you are saying is shit then yes for sure he's not set the world on fire but he's come in and done a job. Phillips has been a disappointment and the issue of Rodri being over played does need addressing.
But for fucks sake this is the greatest time. So don't worry, let's smash the red fuckers and Inter and then have a beer worrying about our left back.

I can’t get fucked off about a dead rubber anymore, I’m too long in the tooth. I’ll get fucked off next week if we don’t turn up. But I’m very confident we will.

I am not as confident as you.

 

[paulchapo]

Absolutely spot on chapo and brilliantly well said.
Too many daft fuckers on here who can`t see the wider picture.

Cheers. We all have a moan from time to time, myself included, but bloody hell we have absolutely nothing to moan about at the moment. Even if we lose both finals, God forbid, we've had a great season and been involved until the final kick.

I go to bed every night worrying about our left back mate,and I’m sure Pep does the same

Let’s put the result into perspective.

Brentford‘s 1st team beat most of our 2nd team and some youth players by an 85th minute winning goal.

Beat us home and away this season.Cannot have been many teams in the last few seasons who have done that.
