No 3rd round tie in the FA cup is ever a banker..and the road to Wembley is never a smooth road..
We've all seen it down the years.. Christ I can remember playing Luton away in the 3rd round 0-0, then replay at Anfield 0-0 before going back to Loftus road again before we smashed them 3-0..think it was 86?.. and you think of the players we had in the first team then..
Dodgy pitch, every local villager and his dog screaming at our players close to the touchline..
It was a FA Cup baptism of fire for a few lads, Markovic, Sahko, Manquillo I thought tested themselves well..
Lambert really let us down, his first touch was so bad..and his positional play was useless.. I know we have a go like but Balotelli must be thinking "How the f**k can he be picked in front of me".. The difference up front when he came on was so much better.
Had to laugh a lot at the final whistle and the whole of the BBC went quiet..
Oh dear that big giant killing game just didn't happen did it Alan, Gary...poor Laurie Sanchez crying in his pint...
You can bet your arse the BBC will televise the Bolton game next round desperate for us to get knocked out...
A cup game, once again we need to be professional and up for it more than Bolton on the day..win that game and we will be on the road to Wembley..
Final word on Gerrard, thought he vanished after he got the first goal but came good second half and it was good to see him running over the half way line with the ball attacking the play on the break.. for me, he's definitely more useful for the rest of the season in a advanced position.
