We need to hold onto the ball a bit more and wear them out. Then I think we’ll create a few more openings as the half goes on.

More chances? Have we created any?

Well there was one that went begging

PrestonHammer

How did he miss the target?

SuzanneClaret

How did Haller mess that up?

:scarf:

No shots on target in the first half, which is poor.

Then Haller is through on goal and absolutely skies an easy chance.

Irons.

Clyne is out for the season at Liverpool, fwiw

I’m not going to believe this until we get confirmation from Baz

whupathman

guess that wont count as on target unless he was aiming at the space station

SuzanneClaret

Haller with a second chance.

Rice has been so POOR IMO so far..

thornburyiron

Rice’s touch tonight has the finesse of a mugger.

No guarantee that will put us off

Ironic thing is he could probably do with a rest, but that means Sanchez plays, which no-one wants

SuzanneClaret

That’s better.

If it’s only for the season maybe worth a punt

grey_til_I_dye

Much, much better this half. Haller will know he should have scored.

chicagohammer

Haller looks uninterested, this might be a slightly controversial view but I sometimes think that foreign players new to the league simply do not “get” the FA Cup.

To be fair we look better this half,

SuzanneClaret

I don’t think that’s the case Chicago

SuzanneClaret

Another attempt.

Much better.

I agree Chicago, but can understand it sometimes when you see teams making 5/6/7 changes it also effects attendances, in my day it was a prestigious trophy to play for and even the bigger clubs went for it, now for your Man City Liverpool’s it’s more of a distraction

SuzanneClaret

COYI

SuzanneClaret

Slowly taking more of a control.

grey_til_I_dye

The Moyesiah at half time

SuzanneClaret

That was a pen.

On Rice.

For sure.

OldCastleSwift

100% penalty there. Rice was being held in the box

chicagohammer

Slightly off topic, but what does everyone think about the use of VAR only at Fa Cup matches where premier teams are involved and playing at home

whupathman

would have been given the other way

Terrible.

Everyone has it or no one has it.
