Scum vs Chavs in the 5th round please. Manchester United vs City. and a Merseyside derby please.
No early casualties like the last two seasons, will have our work cut out having to beat probably 3 of the above, even with a bunch of returning players.
The wheel was turning but the hamster was dead when Walcott was through one on one at the end. He literally had no fucking idea what he was going to do.

How often do you see a striker with all the time in the world try to take it round the keeper and fail so miserably? The bloke is a complete and utter fraud.
In the hat and that's what counts. Worrying though that since City the only half-decent performance we've put in was at Stoke and that was only really acceptable because of the circumstances with injuries and our record up there.

Anybody half decent, especially away from home, will be damn near impossible the way we are playing. The last time we actually turned up to a game was in the first half against the Mancs. Since then we have been absolutely dire.
As a CB and sometime LB who played at various levels over a 20odd year period i'd love to go to Colney and watch the defensive training our lads do because i don't see one iota of the skills and tactics i had hammered into me over the years being employed by our defence at any time when we play.
Positioning - nope
Tackling - nope
Hoffing it into row Z - nope
Covering - nope
Heading - nope
Strength- nope
And that's just the basics, it's endemic in all our defenders too, not just Merts or Gabriel but Gibbs, Bellerin, Chambers and even Kos and Monreal at times.
Maybe someone should put AW, Bouldie and all the defenders in a room and just put videos of the famous 5 on repeat constantly until it sinks in then maybe just maybe let them try it on the pitch

Ramsey has shared his skills then...
Thought he had a great game at Anfield but since then he's been extremely poor. He has zero pressure on his place which doesn't help things either as no matter how shit he plays he ain't getting dropped for Wally.
