Sanogo shouldn't have played against Bayern or today. We didn't think he was physically adequate to play any game for us not too long ago and now he's starting in semi finals. His showing against Liverpool earlier was way overhyped and overblown in my view too. I despair.

Talk about throwing the kid to the lions.

I also despair when I hear the 442 talk.

We were so close to the other side....we could see dead people, but fortunately we found a way in the end. I was pleasantly surprised we were that composed in the shoot out. Up the Arse and bring the FA Cup home!
In comparison to Giroud, I think Sanogo is an upgrade. I think we'd have been playing in front of their box all day with Giroud and playing it short all day instead of pressing for a goal. When he was subbed on he didn't get a shot on goal. That's how bad our striking options are at the moment. I don't think the kid was that bad because we at least saw some chances develop from his movement and he made himself available. It was his first start in months and he's rusty. Much like Ramsey who had an off game today as well. Some mistakes but he wasn't bad just lacking match practice.
