4 stars out of 5 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 It’s probably time to make the FA Cup optional TBH, just let all the PL clubs who can’t be arsed sit it out completely. Definitely. Ashley's nufc and Rafa would snap there hands off For f*** sake. What? They would Ashley yes, Benitez no. Benitez yes. As proven yesterday and numerous times. That's not an assumption when the evidence backs it up. Yesterday was a big f you to the supporters who turned up but it's just quietly accepted we don't do cups now. Imagine this joke of a setup going on in the 90s man. Wouldn't have happened Benitez would love to win the FA Cup with Newcastle, but he's going to do what he feels is right and focus on staying in the league. A big f*** you to supporters. Actively losing an FA cup game that 35,000 paying supporters sorry sheep turned up to and many thousands more were hoping for a cup run and a tiny shred of light following this shit club is a big f you.

4 stars out of 5 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Because he picked a s*** team and going off the apparent lack of interest it wouldn't surprise me if he said to them just take it easy etc If it was just once or twice I might agree with you. But it's 11 years of cup exits to all sorts of poor teams. It's more than just a coincidence at this point like. Add in the statement around 2013 about not been bothered about cups and it all makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Woodman in goal and Joselu up front is a big indication that we weren't arsed about winning it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 He really wasn't. He was desperate to protect some of his key players, what happened in the game was a consequence of that. He wasn't desperate to go out. Watford made 11 changes. We're just not very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Aye. Pretty sure in an ideal world he’d have better than the likes of Manquillo, Joselu and Hayden in his squad to be able to compete in all competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 When is our talented young goalkeeper going to play then? His contract expires in 18 months, he'll definitely be off he doesn't get any game time at all for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Unless Dubravka gets injured in the Cup game and then you play Woodman for the remainder of the season and you lose 6-9 points as a result of that. It's not difficult. We have one striker at the club (Rondon). There is a complete paucity of options when it comes to winning games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 You don't play Woodman ahead of Dubravka unless you kind of don't care about losing, howay man. You wouldn't give a young, understudy goalkeeper an opportunity and would rather just leave him on the bench indefinitely, potentially damaging his confidence long term? Fantastic man management.

He wasn't desperate to go out. Watford made 11 changes. We're just not very good. Well let's just agree it was both. He didn't want to go though and we are shit anyway. The thing that bothers me is every year we play a weak team, we know they aren't good enough and we go out every single time. How about we just stop doing it!? Rafa must have had a good idea that team wouldn't go through and there was certainly no appetite from them to get through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Send him on loan if he wants/ needs to play. How many more years are we going to give young players a game in the fa cup only for us to get knocked out!
