We were undone by one mistake.
When we tried to press, we were killed off by the second goal.

It's no shame to lose to one of the best teams in the world.

What puzzles me is why we changed a successful back four.
How is Ward, who been average all season, suddenly better than Clyne who has done well in recent weeks? You don't drop someone for one poor game, especially for an FA Cup semi final.

Why did we introduce Benteke, who hasn't played for weeks and has been useless, when we had Edouard on the bench?
Is Benteke not good enough for the league, but suddenly good enough for the most important game of the season?
Unfathomable.

Why was Olise not risked for at leat a half in the biggest game this season when we are virtually safe in the league?
We were much better as soon as he came on, which was no surprise at all. Instead, we got Ayew again.

How does that make sense?

What was a fairy predictable result became an absolute certainty.

Seconded. A farce and a brilliant idea to keep the fans together. WAnd wat in heavens name was the point of the people who were just in the way outside the stadium

Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

I did a VLOG for the semi-final.
Enjoy.
