The FA Cup 2014/15 thread

Terrible. Good for Cambridge getting a big payday though.

Dunno why I expected any difference, when we aren't getting turned over by lower league opposition, we tend to draw these kinds of games and scrap a win in the replay (Exeter comes to mind although that's going on a few years now).

[Liam]

Should be the way - gives a small club a chance to earn some good money.

[Baddar]

Disgusting performance.

[Sam]

Meh this stuff happened under Fergie too. Size of the pitch and quality of the pitch will make the difference next time out.

Quality of play was so poor though. Passing for the sake of passing. Bring back Moyes?

[Whisper]

Cue the hyperbole.

Well done Cambridge. Deserved that.

As for United. Could've played a lot better but does it really matter? The extra game is a non issue and we'll be in the 5th round anyway. It will be blown all out of proportion as usual but all I'm going to say about it is congratulations to Cambridge on a very good performance.

[King Ellis]

van Gaal needs to get his twitchy ass out of the dugout. Utter shambles.

[MJB]

Baffled as to why Herrera doesn't start more often. Every time he comes on from the bench, he gives us something different.

It's also worrying that neither Falcao not RVP were making runs across the front post in the last 5-10 mins when crosses were fizzing across the 6yd box.

Lack of runners in behind, lack movement off the ball, pass-pass-pass-pass-pass-oh look now i have it on the wing and i'm crossing oh its been blocked or intercepted, no forward, positive play, Phil Jones looking like he was playing on ice, Valencia playing cross after cross straight to the Cambridge defence, tons of possession for no end product.

Cambridge defended well and looked threatening on the break. We were insipid outside of Januzaj, Herrera when he came on, and Rojo in the first half, though he faded badly.

[DavidMarrio]

Didn't think their pitch was that bad. Seen a hell of a lot worse for lower league teams.

Well done to Cambridge!! These two games should give them a financial boost. The extra game should be a non issue for United seen as though they aren't in the league cup or Europe. You'd expect them to beat Cambridge in the replay.

Januzaj was awful.

[Colly]

Januzaj is awful. Would you like Obertan back?

[TCO]

Januzaj was pretty shit alright. He's raw and doesn't really offer much. He hit one good cross all night, that's the only contribution he made.

[9 to 5]

ROVERS: Eastwood, Henley, Duffy, Kilgallon, Olsson, Taylor, Lowe, Williamson, Conway, Cairney, King.

Subs: Steele, Hanley, Dunn, Brown, Rhodes, Marshall, Gestede.

Well, we are not taking it seriously. No strikers on the pitch and three on the bench.

[Twist]

I miss looking forward to the 4th round weekend.

[Thrilla]

RED CARD!

[Thrilla]

Fucking hell, what a hit by Gylfi

1-0 Swans.

1-1!

Chris Taylor, who can only score in cups!

[Gorka]

Soft red card but it happens, was almost one on one. King looking impressive. Tiendalli is shit. David Dunn is still around!

And Gylfi

[Thrilla]

Is it a prerequiste to have a beard if you are on Welsh TV?
