Wrong tactics I feel. We are better with the ball and playing it on the ground. Play our football. We have set up to play so differently. Play our game now and we will improve. Get up in their faces, nigle at their ankles. We are sitting too deep.

Unfortunately Robins way. Same at Southampton.

No link between forwards and the blob at the back.

I can't believe anybody can seriously deny O'Hare's head is out the building already anymore.

Quick goal after half time and it’s anyone’s game. But they need to dig deep. Just seem overwhelmed by the occasion. We’ve shown we can hurt them. Need to step it up a few gears and use the ball better.

Also, bring everyone back for a corner to just let Slabhead have a free header anyway.

I honestly feel if we can get one back, Man U will really wobble.

If I'd have known we would play 5 atb and play scared I would have been more scared to spend over 300 quid for the day .. really dissapointing way to set up in a cup semi that won't come round again in a hurry

So did I.

I suspect he's already agreed his deal, the only thing missing is the signature and this game means nothing to that.

Genuinely think there could be something in it for us IF we switch to a 4 and actually believe in ourselves. That’s a big ask though.

I think the game plan was 100% the right idea, five at the back, let them play in front of us, limited pressing and stay organised.

However, the second goal going in has changed things and we have to have a go now, which will likely end in them having more chances - they’ve only had three that half and scored two of them!

I’m not going to be criticising individuals today due to the nature of the opposition. We’ve done okay, but now we have to show some more attacking intent and go 4 at the back.

We need to get in Maguire. He’s prone to a fuck up and we’re going nowhere near him.

I think he’s actually looked alright, just he doesn’t have anyone to play off and doesn’t have the physical attributes to play alone.

I have to agree, he's aggressive at times but too much a liability with poor decisions and passing

Milan and Eccles have played well Kitching has been a liability with his passing. Would like to see Torp come on for Lati or Kitching and get an extra body in midfield. Let's have a crack at them now.

Casemiro makeshift CB, Wan Bissaka on the wrong side plus that clown in goal yet we haven’t really laid a glove on it.

Some of you need to come down from cloud delusion. It sounds like people think we were gonna compete and possibly even be all over them.

Get back to fifa.

Only vanEwijk and Eccles have looked close to their level. Need to go four at the back and move vanEwijk forward.

That's an old excuse. Gyokrores is now worth 100m and he was our player a few months ago. The gulf is not that much, it's confidence of the players. The mental approach. That's why 'giant' killings happen all the time. We need to step it up. Cautionary start was wrong, we should have gone at them. They were fragile but now they are going to be cocky. We must score next goal. Torp would be better than O'Hare and Allen if fit will chase all day.

Exactly. If we played like we did against wolves and lost it would be fine. It's the lack of conviction today. The players are working hard but playing very much within themselves

It's almost like they've shit themselves in the final straight because they belive more in the oppositions ability than their own. Same in the league.
