I have watched the match on tv 3 times now and each time one things sticks out as much as, if not more than our top creative players performances.
Jay Spearing had a Fu*king belter of a game. The reason for me was that besides not putting a foot wrong regarding giving the ball away, he went about his job with more confidence than I have ever seen him. He never let one of those tw@ts past him, never shirked a tackle, never looked flustered or worried.
He was outstanding and deserves plenty of credit for keeping it simple and effective. Well done to the munchkin!

He's our favourite Munchkin, here he is winning the Munchkin of the Year award




Unfortunately when it comes to footy and getting stuff on target he still can't hit a cows a'se with a banjo.

I know. But I'll accept that as long as he comes up with performances like Saturdays

[RED BEERGOGGLES]

He played well ,but then again he played equally as well at Anfield in the Derby .... My conclusion  to this enigma is simply the Bitterz midfield
is devoid of any real invention and quite frankly cack .

I like the lad ,but his name shouldn't be on the team sheet against teams who possess any quality in the midfield department .

An FA Cup Final... and we have Jay Spearing in midfield.

Its akin to having Lee Jones play upfront for us in the 1996 Cup final.

The crazy thing is, Spearing playing wasn't a surprise. Its the weakest squad in my lifetime and there is f**k all else. This Sheffield Wednesday player in waiting (altho for all i know he wouldnt get in their midfield) has been a regular.

You cannot go into a game, a cup final, and have a 3rd division player in the most important area of the field.

When Lucas got injured it was boiling hot imperative that we brought in a holding midfielder in January.. that we didn't is scandalous. Either the board don't trust Kenny so refused any more money, or Kenny didnt think we needed one.

Today was the first time in over 10 finals that i didnt give us a prayer and it was largely because of midfield.

don't blame the result on Spearing. Yes he's muck.. pity we didn't have the luxury of Lucas...

A few years ago we had Alonso,Macharano, Now we have Jay Spearing and Henderson.......

Says all....

And I hate to say it but a tactically indept manager.

[RUSHIE#9]

Might not be far wrong to say that in those few years we have gone from having a midfield that Europe was very envious of to having one that Europe must be laughing at at times. 

[D___C]

Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard... what an incredible trio. Just a shame Rafa alienated Xabi otherwise those three may still be here and Rafa still manager. Make no mistake (and i said so at the time) losing Alonso was the biggest loss in 20 years. He made us tick, he also allowed Gerrard to stay forward..contrast that with today as Stevie had to come back deep constantly.. he didnt trust the two behind him. With Alonso the tempo of play was similar every game, him dictating that central area between defence and midfield.. you pretty much know how we would play every week.

Nowadays none of us have a clue what we will do from one week to the next. Spearing, Shelvey, Henderson..  I struggle to watch us with this midfield. Too frustrating.

well lets face it our best midfield pairing now if everyone was fit would be gerrard and lucas, not as good as the alonso mascherano pairing but not as bad as everyone is making out.
next season aquilani could be back too which would help, the echo said the other day that the club would be delighted to have him back, a midfield axis of aquilani and lucas could be potentially quite good. infact if aquilani plays like he did in pre season and lucas comes back anywhere near as good as he was before his injury there wont be no `potentially` about it.

[Thommo's perm]

Totally out of his depth and he knew it
Good aganst the likes of everton but not a team with class players in
Have a rest spearo

[friendlyguy33]

His physique and lack of height counts against him though I don't think Shelvey would have done any better yesterday.

It's beginning to look like quite an error by KK not signing someone in January to replace Lucas. You can't go through a season with this lack of depth even if they didn't know that Adam would get injured in March.

[RED BEERGOGGLES]

When we lost the orgasmic probing and defensive ability of  Lucas, I think we expected his replacement
to be significantly more than a quick wank in a sock .


He's a wizard at pointing and looking small and insignificant .......nothing else to add really .
