Not our day there's always next year fingers crossed.

I don’t think Unai really believes the FA Cup is anything to be bothered about, and it shows.
From his team selection to the performances.
Just another season without an FA Cup win, we should be used to it.

Emery's right, todays football is all about Europe, the quality, the money the ability to attract top talent. Maybe City, Chelsea and Liverpool can lose key players and still be competative with their squads, we can't. Lose two more, say Rogers and Cash for a reasonable amount of time and we are in deep trouble.

He takes the FA Cup seriously. The team v Stevenage was more than enough to beat them, that they didn't saw some of them finished at the club. Chelsea was a strong line up in 24. We reached the semi last year and this year we fielded pretty much as strong a pair of line ups as possible.

Next year never happens for us.

Perhaps UE should've gone for a proper low block formation by bringing on Konsa and Mings, with Lindelof moving to RB and substituted Torres? It needed Mings there in particular to organise and command the backline. Bogarde would've been better moving to the middle supporting Dougie and Onana.
That reckless action by Bizot was maddening!

What I don’t get is playing a stronger team in the 3rd round and then a weaker team in the 4th. You either go in or don’t.

Saving it for the 70th (!) anniversary next year.
