FA Cup Final

Arsenal vs Aston Villa

by **Crimey** Sun Apr 19, 2015 12:02 am

No idea how I'd like us to line up, played well against Newcastle but it was Newcastle. Skrtel and Gerrard are also back from suspension and Sturridge probably will be out. Sakho is definitely out though. Ibe is cup-tied. Chance of going back to a back three, especially if Rodgers doesn't have faith in Johnson.

If back three I'd go:

Mignolet

Can Skrtel Lovren

Henderson Gerrard Lucas Moreno

Lallana Coutinho

Sterling

If back four:

Mignolet

Johnson Skrtel Lovren Moreno

Henderson Lucas

Markovic Gerrard Coutinho

Sterling

I doubt he'll play anything like that though, Allen will probably play, Gerrard on the bench.

Why is Chesney being blamed for that goal?! Huge deflection

by kingraf Sun Apr 19, 2015 5:12 am

Not watching, but Welbeck is a real labour of love

Because Danny Murphy is an awful commentator, Owen-esque!

Oh dear Federici.

That was awful

Indeed - but Danny Murphy has sympathy this time around!

by GSC Sun Apr 19, 2015 5:40 am

Danny Murphy commentated a World Cup game and I assumed it was Mark Lawrenson until they pointed out it was Danny Murphy

Poor bloke. Nick will be here soon to say he let his country down, i'm sure

by 1GrumpyGolfer Sun Apr 19, 2015 5:44 am

Do you guys have Matt Jackson commentating on this? He seems amazingly biased against Arsenal. Did they turn him down as a signing, break his leg, relegate him?

by GSC Sun Apr 19, 2015 5:45 am

Reading wont care, their season was a disappointment regardless having failed to win the league

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun Apr 19, 2015 5:53 am

Got to say, impressed by Arsenal's midfield. To dominate an opposition like Reading, with that class, really shows they're onto something special

Amazing that they didn't with that midfield and amazing fanbase

hard luck on Reading.

And the keeper.

Their fans were pretty decent to.

by FootballLight Sun Apr 19, 2015 6:58 am

It was bad to see our plastic fans get beat. Maybe if we were a little louder we might have done it, but oh well, plastics stay plastics don't they after all, what a shame

Not exactly let ourselves down but we are all extremely disappointed. The frustration is that any Sunday League goalkeeper would make that save which makes it even more degrading that we lost that game and how we did.

I think its pretty obvious that Reading will care don't you think. Laugh

Yes, poor league season but we were somewhat 15 minutes away from a return visit on May 30th and a place in the FA Cup final. So I'd be pretty sure from Chairman to rookies the club deeply will care about this game and it will go down in History for us.

The amazing fanbase where it actually looked like we had more fans than Arsenal's. Probably didn't because there was a little section that we just didn't fill but its hardly like we only brought 10,000 fans and Arsenal brought 50,000.

I think the midfield matched Arsenal's today. We just missed that extra man in Karacan or even Norwood. Maybe if we had 5 in midfield, it could have been different on the day but I knew even at 1-1, as pessimistic as this is, we would eventually lose out, whether it be extra time or penalties.

Turning up for a Wembley date isnt exactly proof your fans aren't plastic

Indeed. It's the fact that 75-80% of them won't turn up for the next home game that is

That would probably leave us 8,000 home fans when we get a good 15,000 every game of our own fans. So, that's wrong for a start.

So what proof do you need then? We've had a poor season. I guess it means Burnley's fans are plastic because they are bottom of the Premier League does it? They don'[t have a lot to cheer about, neither have we. Ou fans weren't plastic when we won the league, I wonder why that is.

by GSC Sun Apr 19, 2015 7:59 am

They were pretty plastic. From memory they were pretty roundly lambasted nationally when they played Leeds one time that season.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun Apr 19, 2015 10:45 am

I dont think you understand the term plastic.

by westisbest Sun Apr 19, 2015 6:04 pm

Big game today. Super Sherwood has us playing some good stuff.

The beast is on fire.

Tough game, but fancy we can take the pool.

Shame i couldn't make it today, but will be out knocking the frost off a cole of cold ones, watching the villa boys.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Apr 19, 2015 6:49 pm

Think/hope you pull off the win today westi Ok!

Just proving the point and look at that, no response given whatsoever. Typical.

Most people are just bored of you. Equally, you don't understand it so your "proof" wasn't there.

by westisbest Sun Apr 19, 2015 11:35 pm

Done Jack Grealish first goalscorer.

by **Crimey** Mon Apr 20, 2015 12:12 am

Liverpool team vs Aston Villa: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Markovic, Coutinho, Sterling

How they will line up is anybody's guess, could be 3-4-3 with Markovic as wing back, Gerrard further up. Could be 3-4-3 with Henderson as wing back, Allen-Gerrard in the middle and Markovic up top. Could be 4-3-3 with Can at right back.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Apr 20, 2015 1:30 am

Worst defending I've seen all season

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Apr 20, 2015 1:36 am

OH BENTEKE WHAT A GOAL

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Apr 20, 2015 1:59 am

Gerrard/Henderson/Allen playing the "who can be more anonymous" game.

All excelling so far

by Stella Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:02 am

Gerrard is playing like someone who has never played in midfield in their life. The game is going past him. Quite ironic that Liverpool fans want Gerrard to get a last game final (fair enough), and that he may be partly responsible for them failing to do so.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:12 am

GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL

Delph single handedly dicking that Liverpool midfield

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:16 am

What's happening here, then!

by Stella Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:31 am

Terrible ball to Benteke. Could have been all over

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:34 am

It's ok Liverpool fans - Glen Johnson is coming on

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:36 am

When you dont need to be defending then Johnson is the perfect full back to bring on

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:52 am

Dejan Lovren ladies and gentlemen
