Couple of things, actually didn't think we played bad last night, but I do accept the result was unacceptable against a poor team. I think we will be fine at Wembley long term, that was the first time we have put our strongest team out and as I said I actually think we played okay last night and with rose and walker playing as wing backs I think the big pitch could suit us long term (Just need a couple of results for the mental block, I doubt the players think like this, but more for us fans tbh).
One moan last night, I know the trains/roads were bad last night but I was working in Leicester and didn't finish until half 5, but made it 15-20 mins before kick off, the amount of people coming in 20-30 mins late did my head in, I accept some people had genuine reasons, but I bet most of them just left to late or stayed in the pub etc, grrrrrrrrrrr
Last night

Sissoko has been a disaster of a signing, and at £30m Poch probably feels he has to play him more than he should.
No doubt that the biggest failing for what's been wrong in moments like this and through the rest of this season has been him and our other flop signings.

Kanes own goals are always costly, Sunderland and Swansea were draws and last night a vital away goal. If I was Poch he would be on the half way line whenever we are defending a set piece from now on.

It feels like we only go backwards, baby.
Every part of me says go ahead.
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards, darling.

The first leg was completely Poch's fault though.
I think people underrated how negative a manager Poch is, but even Mourinho wouldn't have fielded as negative a lineup as he did Gent away.

Do you mean negative spiral or negative manager?

I wouldn't moan mate - Ranieri would love to have the problem

the only person to blame is Alli.
Had he not been sent off i think you would have gone through, but his petulance cost you the tie.

What about MoPo?
He's got to get to grips with Wembley or next season could be a disaster

Not the only person to blame but the most to blame.

but rose was injured......
Lamela isn't fit so attacking options of any quality are limited.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are right, Rose was injured.
Poch should have realised this, and then compensated by accomodating a more attacking player in our team to compensate for the attacking prowess Rose brings which we miss.
A player like Eriksen, Son or Janssen were all available. No excuse to play such a negative team.

Happy to be out of it.
