Take a deep breath - Don't blame the players

For once I think Rafa got it wrong .
When I saw our line up I THOUGHT Rafa was underestimating the opposition and the tradition of the FA Cup . At half time i was CONVINCED .
Well, live and learn Rafa ,and welcome to the FA Cup. I felt sorry for the first teamers who had to try and put together a performance against a fired up team who were more than able to take on our "kids" .
Can understand the many reasons why Rafa decided to play this line up bt as the saying goes "If you're serious about winning a competition ,field you best eleven or don't bother entering to start with"

Woof how are you
I agree mate, in Spain the cup is not the institution it is here and Rafa should have respected that, cant see him making the same mistake next season with the fury he is about to experience
Trying to lok for positives but its one of them nights Id rather forget

DONT BLAME THE PLAYERS? So who the hell is there to blame for their ****** poor performance? Rafa? I don't think so. These young lads held their own against a full strength Tottenham and Boro side, I don't understand what the hell they were thinking tonight.
They weren't committed to the game, they weren't fired up, they harldly attempted to create something. ****** POOR PERFORMANCE. Rafa trusted the youngsters that got him in the semi-finals in the Carling Cup. When you put your trust in somebody you expect them to honour that.

the line-up was good enuff to beat this team... the players have failed ... and the manager must do some serious culling

Grow up !!! ffsake !
We got lucky against spurs , and the proof of that was in tonights performance . After 20 mins it was obvious that the eleven on the pitch weren't good enough.
Admittedly Burnley got lucky with their goal but we did fk all to suggest we would win it .

We scraped through at home against a mid strength Boro side. We where hammered at Spurs and rode our luck to take a penalty victory. We where not so lucky tonight.

You ****** grow up. Smack your head off the keyboard and watch the game over. There was no surprises, Rafa said he was going to use a young side a day before the match. I believed that our youngsters could pull it off as they did it in the Carling Cup.
