I'm not going to suggest that our defence were in a bad mood with Forster, but... please log in to view this image
Ange Postecoglou talking to Sky Sports: "You're sort of suggesting I asked the players to make those mistakes," he says. Well yes, when you have a keeper who can’t play that game but you expect him to, then yes, I would say that you need to have a re think
Imagine the nerves for that. To lose a cup final against them lot would be gutting. To break the trophy drought by beating them would be amazing though.
So in order to win the League Cup we'll have had to beat City, Utd, Liverpool and probably Arsenal? Are they taking the piss? Still, it seems to have pushed Postecoglou over the edge, as he went full Gladiator. I know the sequel's out, so I hope he got paid for promoting it, as it's supposed to be ****. Highlights:

The blame for their second lies with Forster, but if we have a free kick almost on the halfway line, why is Bissouma playing it backwards in the first place?
Strange night, I find myself having seen the interview with Ange totally at loggerheads with his attitude. I don't want us to be skys favourite because we are a great watch for the neutral. That could and should have been a comfortable last 30 mins we were totally in control, but by the end of that for me there was no euphoria about reaching the semi just an overwhelming sense of relief that we didn't blow it. Fair play to the fans who stuck with the team, whilst there was an unbelievable tension at 3-2 and even at 4-3 I think we did our bit to keep behind them, the club and Ange in particular should be grateful for our commitment, though had we thrown that away it may have been a very different story.
Well well, hopefully I will be able to get a ticket for the semi and be able to cross Liverpool off and then be able to say that I have seen all 92 clubs!
