Yes but we have more reason

because it means more ?? ffs

Full squad we don’t lose to these twats no way, hope we get them in the final in Paris and smash them

Providing he chooses to play a midfield.

He cost us the semi last season with crap positional play . I get playing the second keeper but he has t on be good which I don’t think steffen is .

Tbh it was more my first para that prompted that post, but yeah, wouldn’t really disagree there.
I assume you’d try and off load him this summer and bring in a new no2 keeper?

Maybe there's something wrong with me but I was proud of the lads. The first half was exactly what I expected against the second best team in Europe with 5 changes and, arguably, our two most important players out and no striker to speak of.

That we pulled two goals back, should have scored more and made the scousers start whistling for time and, indeed, made a game of it for the neutrals speaks volumes about the character of the team in adversity.

I agree completely about the players, it wasn't their fault

However, we need more depth if we want to compete properly. This is the second year in a row we've had to play a second string team in an fa cup semi final. It's really not good enough for what we want to be

Either buy another couple of players or spend time integrating Palmer / McAtee / Lavia so they can take some of the load off our main eleven

I agree with other comments on here...Pep throws the game again like last time....
EDERSON......see what happened today...Take note and STOP being clever..IT COULD COST US DEAR.......

Difference is that he can get away with it...

Maybe because back then there was no guarantee we’d reach the ECL semi or be in a fabbo position to win the league.
I’d say it’s fairly obvious if we were say safely in 3rd, but way off the title, and out of Europe them of course he would have gone full tilt today. But we are, so he didn’t. I didn’t go today so it’s easy for me to say, but I’m fine with that choice.

On the other hand, re today, how often has Steffen made an error as bad as that 2nd goal? We put just one of our other chances away; it goes to extra time, we get a memorable victory on pens, and everyone who did go today is over the moon!

Agree

Time will tell if the pain of today will be worth it. Win the big two and it will be well worth it.

We totally shot ourselves in the foot first half, lethargic, sloppy and a horrendous error for one of the goals while Zac’s attempts (if you could call the header an attempt) at the other two were pitiful.

At least we regained some pride second half as that could have turned out much worse.

By saving the legs of the subs it’s pretty clear what the strategy is - get the 5 or 6 in the bench back starting next game and Foden, Bernie and one or two others will get a chance to rest.

Now all about getting zoned into the league again, two good fixtures at home where 6 points and strong performances will get us back on track.

By missing out on the final it should make the slotting in of Wolves straightforward and give the dippers a headache with their schedule…..fuck em.

This is the bigger picture what Pep is seeing, I’d rather lose a fa cup semi final and win a European Cup final against these cunts, but some blues can’t see it.

Why do people who can't fight always want to lol?
