Well, yet another game which was changed by bad refereeing.
However, Liverpool deserved to win, everyone except Hart was under par.
Oh, except for Dzeko, who was fucking poor as per usual.
Yes he has scored goals, but nearly all of them have been put on a plate for him, and Jesus has he missed a lot.
Considering the amounts of money we have spent, it astounds me that we only have 2 good strikers, and playing Balotelli in big games always poses the risk of going down to ten men.
I've said it before and I've said it again, giving up on Tevez was a mistake. Yes he is a nuisance, but if we had had him at our disposal this season, the title might be already in the bag.
Bellamy was outstanding tonight, his workrate was excellent. How we let players like him, Wright Phillips and soon to be Onuoha go for free and yet we spend 25 million on Dzeko, who has the touch of an elephant and loses the ball 9 times out of 10 he receives it.
Don't agree with comments that Kolarov is shite, he is a good player against the right teams and in the right position. He is the best crosser we have and one of the best free kick takers in the world. If he can improve at his ability to beat a man, which is still better than many of our attacking players, then he could become a great winger/ wing back.
Poor team selection tonight, I know it worked in 6-1, but three holding midfielders did not work against United in FA Cup, Chelsea and Liverpool 1st leg and 2nd leg.
Aguero should have been on the field from the start. I also would have appealed against Balotelli's card, so we could at least play him tonight.
Although I am very disappointed to miss out on another final, and know what we shouldn't take cup competitions for granted, we can still win the title.
