Interpolic Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 As confident as when we played Stevenage, Brighton, Cardiff, etc? Our approach to the cups is a fucking joke, winds me up like nowt else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 We should be with the players we have, add to that Pardew not being there as he nutted a player so yeah I think we would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 We crumble in pressure games, like fuck could we win a semi or quarter final against anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 in a one off game not played at SJP i'd fancy it, pardew could just play his favoured away game, keep it tight and hope remy does something home tie, would not be confident Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 we would have a chance, its the only real hope of a major trophy, and a fucking disgrace we dont bother. may as well shut the club up and open a sports shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 They're all very beatable if we actually gave a fuck. Even Arsenal are beatable. Not under this regime though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'd love to see the side we'd trot out against Sheffield United. Dummett would be the most senior player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spark Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'd love to see the side we'd trot out against Sheffield United. Dummett would be the most senior player. Even Pardew wouldn't play a weakened team in a semi-final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The more the top 6 seem to put their main focus on getting into then performing well in the CL the more opportunity there seems to be for the rest to get to domestic finals and actually win trophies. As probably one of the top 2 or 3 teams outside of that group it would be lovely for us to actually give it a proper go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Does the draw work out like if we'd beaten Cardiff, we'd have followed their route in terms of ball number? If so, we'd have lost to City yesterday knowing us, or if not, Arsenal in the Semi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I think the ball number is based on the order of the draw after the 3rd round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm pretty certain every Premier league club not in the hat is thinking the same thing. If Man City can lose to Wigan then (again) then anyone can beat anyone. We're well aware we were total crap against Cardiff but I'd argue the team he selected was strong enough to beat Cardiff should have played better. Elliott; Haidara; Mbwia; Taylor; Santon; Sissoko; Anita; Tiote; Ben Arfa; Gouffran; Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I agree we've been shit in the cups recently, but we did put out a team good enough to beat Cardiff. Sometimes you just lose. This focussing on who is left in so we can be even more negative about it is fairly bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Cabaye. Fair enough, but then you'll get into the whole 'he wasn't injured' sort of debate. Regardless of one/two players, when i seen that team prior to kick off, especially with HBA playing i was happy. Had no problems with the team sheet, ben arfa in the 10 role i did have a problem and his tactics in general. Fair enough we scored our scrappy goal, looked likely to be going through. However once Eliot made his howler to gift them back in it, our attitude in response to that was pathetic, players and manager need stick for that. They didn't wake up at all because the pace of the game which they set was painful and they couldn't go through the gears when needed to go on and win.

Wullie Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Cabaye. I assumed that was fairly fucking obvious, clearly not to Brett. The manager said it was ok to get completely battered by sunderland because Cabaye and Remy weren't in the team, yet we're meant to believe that he put a perfectly strong side out in the cup. He can't have it both ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Cabaye, Debuchy, Krul and Remy have been arguably our best performing players this season, if he was bothered about the cup he'd have played as many of them as he possibly could. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
