I;ve never gone missing when we lose, just don't come onto these forums as much anymore, they aren't exactly lively, just you talking to yourself Harv. You should get yourself onto Rocking Soccer - reckon you could get yourself banned from the forums in minutes lol.
We were shocking. First goal was a disgrace. Clear handball and then how they can say he wasn't interfering with play is beyond me. Offside rule is a bit of a joke. Ref was channeling his best Ovrebo.
Still plenty of time after that to wake up though but I think we thought it was a warm up for a 7.45 kick off. Even the injustice of the first goal didn't fire us up.
Fabregas should have started in place of Matic. The two holding players were too deep and Arsenal won everything in midfield. Every second ball dropped to an Arsenal player, we aimlessly played it long onto the head of Mertesacker or into the vacant area where we had no midfielders. Our ball retention was so poor I don't think we could have passed wind.
We were lucky not to be 5 down at the break (just glad it wasn't City in the final or we would have been).
Then, just as it looked like we might have woken up and been getting a foothold in the game, Moses does THAT. What a fucking moron. Most players on a yellow card are very careful, they don't give the ref the opportunity to send them off with a ridiculous attempt at diving. Utterly mindless. I was torn between bombing him out of the club, but he'd make a useful sub as he's quite versatile.
I think that cost us the game ultimately and Arse ended up comfortable winners.
