Final thought of the day: we need better full backs to play this way. Not only today but Coventry at the weekend too, it’s hard to count the amount of big crossing opportunities we spurned. It would be simple to upgrade on the right and (most urgently…) the left in January
So glad we have an exciting league campaign to focus on now
A huge game against Newcastle sandwiched by our annual tummy tickles at Villa Park & The Etihad in the race for 17th or above
Boring
Muniz showed exactly why he doesn’t and shouldn’t start, not that Garcia was much better but at least he (occasionally) knows where the six yard box is…maybe he can revise where the net is next?
Mostly on the players today, but Arbeloa called that a ‘final’ and played Andersen
He shouldn’t have played a minute more for this club after his red vs Bournemouth and yet here he is costing us again
How am I tuning into the overlap fan debate and tea boy/producer/industry plant Kiaran makes ANOTHER appearance?!
Palace is 100% a bigger game than Villa. A chance to be in the final 8 again and finally get a trophy? Unless you qualify for the UECL, this is the best chance for teams like us, as those in Europe rotate far more than they do in the FA Cup. Go strong and get in the hat 🤞🏆
One of those tight games where a moment of quality nicks it, delighted that Bobb got his league goal
Think we were defensively sound again + our subs helped turn the game in our favour this time (much better on the ball once Berge came on for a start)
Also hold @FatFrank
HUGE win and a great performance. With better finishing that gets the 3 or 4 goal margin that it deserved
As for Hull, one of the worst opposition performances since we were promoted
The result tomorrow obviously matters far more than off-pitch optics, but it’s a bit concerning that there wasn’t much of a ‘reaction’ from Arbeloa in today’s presser. Didn’t see much fight from him. Has nobody at the club had a word from a PR perspective?
Last thought from today, Hull is an absolute must-win, draw not close to being good enough
Fail to do that and I think you make a change
Arbeloa got extremely lucky we took a chance on him, so the arrogance in these post-match quotes are hugely concerning to me
Sunderland, Utd and Ipswich all changed momentum after unusual subs and subsequent tactics. Of course it can happen to any team occasionally…but that’s 50% of our league games this season!
No mate nobody knows you as a manager, that was the issue with the appointment in the first place
AA: "Maybe you don't know me, but I have coached the best team in the world. Maybe you don't know, but just to let you know that pressure is part of my life since I was kid. So it's normal in football, it's normal for players, it's normal for coaches, it's normal for everybody that is around a team. Yes, I think the pressure is something that is important for me and I like it." #FFC

This has gone under the radar (no club tweet yet), but safe standing being introduced to the away end. Home end next…? 🤞
Think a point was fair on the balance of play but such an annoying way to concede (even if our’s was more ridiculous thanks to ‘The Butcher’)
Really wish we put them under more pressure at 1-0
Also I have given him a lot of stick but Leno was much improved today
In the hat, Palacios masterclass and Bobb’s first goal - positive night!
I imagine half that team won’t be involved for the next round though
Also liked what I saw from Angel. Seemed confident and classy on the ball (physicality could be an issue but lets see…)
