Altho traditionally branded the 'worthless Cup', I'm quite disappointed we failed to progress. The Cup serves as an alternate route to Europe and also a springboard for our youngsters to gain exposure.
To say that our squad last nite was largely inferior to Swansea will be an understatement. The likes of Sebastián Coates, Jamie Carragher, Joe Cole, Jordan Henderson, Stewart Downing, Joe Allen, Jonjo Shelvey were by no means weak on paper. Maybe our 2nd stringers are just not good enuff. Until BR got no choice but to summon SG, Raheem & Suarez in the 2H. Unfortunately the trio failed to help us salvage the game.
The loss also serves as yet another awakening call to the management what life will be like w/o SG and Suarez. We are in urgent need of reinforcements. Better fix the leaking pipe quick before it bursts!
