Thought Scoot Marshall was gonna screw us - is he loyal to avfc or lambert?

He's loyal to doing a professional job I'd say. He's getting paid to do something and he did it.

 

Yep - but Sherwood will claim the second half.

If the winner of the cup already has a guaranteed CL/EL spot, second place goes to Europe as well, right?

 

yes

 

so in theory we're one game from wembley, 2 games from europe if we get liverpool or utd in the final

 

 

There's a rule change. 

 

"From the 2015/16 season, UEFA will not allow the runners-up to qualify for the Europa League through the competition.[12]

 

 

So what happens to that place? Seems stupid to not at least let the runner up play at the earliest stage of qualifying or something.

When was the last time we made it to the quarter-finals?

 

 

2009/10 when we reached the semi finals (lost vs Chelsea) and before that it was 1999/200 when we reached the final (lost vs Chelsea).  Thankfully Chelsea are already out this year. :lol:

2 things were very evident for me.

 

1 Lambert has really got into the players heads judging by the first half.

 

2 Sherwood's HT talk got a reaction.

 

from now on dont be surprised if Given is given a chance :P

 

Delph will be instructed to get the ball forward quicker, take less risks in possesion & not to hog the ball or be dropped

 

Cleverley will be a different player now

 

expect more variations in line-ups and earlier substitutions.

Two very poor teams low on confidence but we were better second half for sure. Kept it simple which in our situation is probably appropriate. Vlaar MOTM for me, he was very solid.

 

Let's hope for a kind home draw and some confidence to take into the next few games in the league.

Vlaar MOTM. Have no problem swapping Given for Guzman. Benteke not right/fit but good assist. Bacuna didn't do much before the goal but crossing slightly better than the rest of the team. Still need a lower league club in next round to have a chance of progressing and hope the Prem teams knock each other out.
