We actually played quite well and put a strong side out. Just one of those days. We normally just put the reserves out and roll over.
Not really. We've played a second string team in the FA cup in recent years, but we've peppered it with first team players. We don't have that luxury at the moment as we've got injuries to Koscielny, Monreal, Kolasinac, Ramsey, Xhaka and Giroud, so the kids and reserves have been thrown into this one.
Arsene's getting gaped if this ends in defeat... HIAG will end up pickling himself in his own juices.
Don't want to use it as an excuse as we've been crap. But the pen should have been retaken. Poor refereeing.
