The way both teams attacked last night showing the massive difference you get when you have quality in all positions - they attacked with pace, midfielders getting beyond our defence, quality passing & movement. Compare that to our balls to Giroud who on the odd occasion where his control doesn't resemble a non-league player, still has nowhere to go because the rest of the team are playing too deep. Only Ox looked good last night but we used him far too dep as a CM when we needed goals.
Anyway, we are what we are - a last 16 team at best ( as proved in recent years ) - so its not worth worrying about a cup we can't win. Need to concentrate on getting 4th again this year & hope that Wumger doesn't fuck us up inthe FA Cup. Then concentrate on the best possible signing in the summer - a manager with ambition who knows what is needed at top level & doesn't shit himself against the bigger clubs.
