Fuck it might still win but come on palace is biggest game of the season

You have to see this in the scheme of chasing four trophies. If we were 10’points ahead in the league it might have been different.

Judge this result next Wednesday. I thought we played well and were very unlucky.

Have you ever seen a team change its normal style of play against a good team late in the season and win ? I'd rather see us do what we're absolutely brilliant at and fail doing our best than adopt a style we're clearly not comfortable with.

I’ve said it countless times it’s as if we are the foreign team playing an English side as in Italian,Spanish,German,and when it is us playing a team out of one of them,again it’s us who if you tuned in would think they were the English side bigging them up and fawning over them..As for the Delph challenge with Kane it will be media led they will want him somehow banned ..

To be honest I wouldn’t be too bothered if he was banned

A 2-1 defeat, a 3-2 defeat, a 10-9 defeat etc etc etc.

Basically any one goal defeat that doesn't leave us in the precarious position of requiring three goals in the event spurs score just one.

Get you now. Still think we'll blow them again at home next week.

What kind of one goal defeat would have been better and how would it changes the return leg?

In the scheme of away goals, this was a bad result.

I'm telling you, it's THAT fucking kit.

Still confident we can turn it around. Mahrez was terrible and Jesus can't stay on side which needs sorting sharpish.

Jesus has had a problem with the offside rule since we signed him, I said that a lonnngggg time ago. He certainly isn't a replacement for Sergio.

Same here pal.

Horses for courses. Kdb can’t play 90min twice in 3 days, mendy the same, Leroy’s been hit n miss all season, Bernardo must’ve got a knock at Wembley to be left out of the squad. Don’t see the problem myself

Why can't they play twice in 3 days?
Are we resting them for a good pre-season?
This is the business end.

Been far less hit and miss than Mahrez. We look a better, more balanced side with Sane and he hasn't played that much and so would be fresh. If we go on to beat Palace and knock out Spurs then all will be forgiven no doubt. But it is the 2nd season in a row that he has made mistakes in team selection in the QF of the CL. Last season it cost us dearly. I sincerely hope it won't this season.

In that case why play them in the FA Cup semi? Why did Pep prioritize that match over this one? We've got to get over this fixation with the domestic cups. PL and CL are the priorities not sure why Pep needs reminding of this.
