Hull away FA cup rehearsal

[Robin_L]

Podolski played "up top" for all of about 10 mins between Giroud going off and Sanogo coming on. And at no time did we have two "up top" in a 4-4-2 either. Watch the facking game pls

[MrT]

It's quiet after a win on here because most are aware it means fuck all but another 4th place trophy which helps Wenger secure another undeserved contract.

The way that Hull threw crosses into the box and the way that Sir Ches dealt with them tells me that he should play in the final . As well as Fabianski has played in each round I can see him reverting to his Flappy persona under the sort of Stoke like tactics Hull will apply .

Thought the same myself today,chesney dealt with every high ball tht came his way which im not sure flappy can do,but in saying tht long and jelavic cant play as they are cuptied,so not sure if bruce will go with 2 upfront in the final,so probably wont be the same amount of high balls into the box.I would play chesney.Its wenger maybe deciding to play the postman up front thats worrying me.

Missed the game as I was flying back from my hols......I'm back in time for the return of the flat track bullies !

Newcastle, West Brom and Norwich beware......Wenger's 'greatest ever achievement' just got a step closer

that is what I was thinking, imagine watching the final, a cross comes in and Fabianski just disappears off the screen, literally gone ( and we're talking widescreen) that is when I will wish Woj was playing.

Missed the game as was at the in-laws all day ( ), but not surprised we rolled them over.

Pleased to see Ramsey back in the goals and happy that we are finally learning how to utilise Podolski too. I know he gets stick on here for not tracking back etc but I want him to do what he does - score goals.

I don't expect our left back to score 20 plus a season or our 'keeper to take a mean corner so I can accept forward players shirking some defensive duties if it means they get into areas where they can actually earn their wages.

Fabianski is leaving at the end of the season so Szczesny should play in goal for the Cup Final. Not only that, he's a better keeper.

Exactly what I took from today. Szczesny has always got a mistake in him but today they revealed their hand and if they do that in the final against Fabianski they will almost certainly pilfer at least one goal from it. He cannot deal with it.

Thought it was actually a good performance. Bit sloppy to start with but first 2 goals were excellent and were comfortable thereafter. Nice to see Ozil back and brilliant to see Ramsey hitting the heights again.

Disagree. Fabianski hasn't gotten us to the final. He deserves to play, particularly after saving twice in the shoot out. Before every round, some have said "I expect Fabianski reverting to his old self" and guess what, he hasn't done it.
Szcz is also a mentalist. Remember Birminghma or his cruyff turns in the box?

Conveniently erased him leaving Agger with an open goal at 2-1 against Liverpool and marauding out of his box against Wigan getting nowhere near the ball? Both classic Fabianski. If he had played anywhere near as much as Szczesny this season he would have cost us at least 5 times as many goals. He should have cost us twice in this FA Cup run despite being completely untroubled other than a few saves against Liverpool. Is our opponents' profligacy really sound justification for playing him?

Unless he's the better keeper he shouldn't play. Don't whinge about us not winning anything and then advocate playing this clown out of some perverse sense of loyalty.

[TurnipMasher]

Good win. Great to see Ramsey back, nice finish from him. Not sure if he meant to chest it down to Pod but a great assist nonetheless! Ozil quiet but threaded a few class passes.

Agree with the above comments re ches vs flappy for the cup final. I'd rather have ches, as long as he leaves his dopey/arrogant grin shit in the locker room.

[Herd]

As others here have said we must play Chez in the final .
Flappy cannot deal with crosses at all he will melt and Hull will do more of the same in the final .
They also tried to kick us off the park which they will do again .
Its going to be a brutal final but we showed moments fo class yesterday ............which was nice !

[Leedsgooner1]

Thought we played well yesterday overall & should have had a couple of penalties as well, great to see Rambo back & thought him & Ozil linked up well together.

Good atmosphere yesterday with plenty of banter with the Hull fans & no hassle from the stewards who also let us out for a half time smoke
