It was a very good pass, but Aaronson made the run which is what he does best prior to generally conceding possession.The Subhuman wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2026 4:40 pm Gnonto won us the pen with a lovely through ball.. Think we were luck Brenden was wiped out as he'd lost control

Who was he supposed to bring on? bearing in mind he had already used two of his subs to replace the injured Stach & Rodon.
Not just about subs but how we apprach that final 10/15 minutes.

TBF whomever plays there makes that run, or maybe Willy finds another killer pass...

Re: Player Ratings vs West Ham (FA Cup)
They only made two subs in the 90 mins and one of them was Pablo, who's a donkey: We made five, so had fresher legs than them.
Nobody's saying Farke's a terrible manager, just that you can't give him credit for everything that goes well and then absolve him from any blame for things that go wrong.

Don't see how you can give him more than a 6 as if it was some tactical masterclass.
We played well for some of the game, poorly for others, the subs didn't make us better and we conceded 2 late goals again.
West Ham had a significantly higher xG and hit the woodwork 3 times.

Re: Player Ratings vs West Ham (FA Cup)
Generous but ok
The fact Perri features so high in our motm ratings tells a story as does the fact West Ham hit the post 3 times.
Unless ive missed it you haven't said what ranking you gave Farke?

Re: Player Ratings vs West Ham (FA Cup) - Farke 6/10????
The Square Ball viewers gave Farke a rating of 7.24.
25 mins in
Several players got 7+ with Tanaka on 8.2. I won't announce Piroe's rating.

Re: Player Ratings vs West Ham (FA Cup)
Picked a strong team.
We witnessed the best of Perri's keeper skills.
We were coasting the game with Stach, Tanaka & Rodon on the pitch.
Had to adapt our style of play due to the injuries.
Farke made attacking subs we & went two up.
Gnonto made the pass for the penalty, Willy should have put the game to bed missing an open goal, if he scores at 0-3 everything is rosey. Then our defence had a wobble in added-on-time. Gnonto's miss & our wobble wasn't Farke's fault.
Farke settled his troops down to see out the final thirty minutes, then set-up the order of our penalties which were all struck well apart from one.
We are in the semi-finals for the first-time in 39 years under Farke.
Do you remember our cup games under Bielsa, losing to Crawley, West Ham, QPR, etc
Pre-Bielsa, we had the embarrasments at Newport, Sutton, Rochdale, etc.
I'll be heading down to Wembley. thanks to Farke & his players he's coached to give us fans a chance of reaching an FA Cup Final. It's called supporting LUFC through the ups & downs.

Very good effort from Willy from a dodgy pass. Back heels blind are hard to pull off, never an open goal

It is allowed and doesn't make them not a fan.
And for you in that last paragraph to once again take a shot at fellow fans in a condescending manner as happens regularly now shows the pointlessness of this thread
People only allowed an opinion if it fits yours seemingly otherwise they are haters or not true fans.
No wonder it gets so few votes.

I don't wish to converse with you negative so called fans any longer!
I'm fed up with your constant hatred lack of respect for Farke, you & your select gang can continue to slag off our coach, I'll ignore these type of posts from here on, which is ruining this forum.
