FA Cup 2015/16 - Real World Football - FM24/25 Update

I think West Ham have forgot they had Carroll playing tonight, can't remember them putting any crosses or long balls in at all. Just loads of short passing and shots from distance.

Oh and occasionally Antonio and Lanzini attempting to just try and run past everyone and inevitably running into Carrick or Smalling.

Still time for us to mess it up like.

What a save that was from De Gea

EDIT: Jesus! What on earth are we doing at the back if Andy Carroll has a free header at a corner!

Fellaini to blame too.

And yeah that save from De Gea was ridiculous.

Why was Fellani standing on the line instead of marking Andy Carroll? Do they not think logically it'd make sense to get him to mark Carroll?

Smalling is/was good enough. He's very good in the air - he just completely lost his run. I reckon if Fellaini was marking him he'd just end up getting sent off as Carroll would give as many elbows as he gets and Fellaini would lose discipline

Having Blind in there is giving me a heart attack though...

Noble, you can lift Herrera as much as you like, but you're not lifting the FA Cup you twat.

Great win.

We absolutely bossed it the first 20 minutes, then went missing for the next 60 and only turned up again for the last 10.

Can only agree with everyone else really, no one player stood out and we didn't play to any strengths (Carroll) at all. Antonio is a fantastic winger but not a full back, can't defend for shit. Why on earth he was trying to pass with the outside of his foot God only knows.

Was over-run in midfield after the first 20 minutes, and just weren't good enough all-round, United deserved it on the balance of the match.

Two North West teams playing a Semi Final at Wembley on a Saturday, the same day as Network Rail is doing maintenance work and the same weekend as the London Marathon.

Nice job FA.

I imagine there wasn't much else they could do with the Euro's starting not long after the FA Cup finishes, normally they'd probably move it id have though

I thought the Network Rail improvements were next weekend, to coincide with Bank Holiday Monday...or they are in East Anglia anyways.

There is no good day for two teams in the North West to travel to Wembley, always going to be busy.

Hopefully they are sell outs and everyone manages to make it!

If that line up sums up what LVG things his best side is then no wonder we're shite.

Is Darmian benched because he's carrying an injury or is it just LvG being a retard? He should be starting every game.

He's been a bit shit, but he had his best game in ages mid-week and Rojo is even shitter at LB.

He's been average in the second half of the season, but he had a brilliant game on Wednesday - Rojo starting over him is baffling.

Oh and Carrick/Fellaini in midfield when we have Herrera/Schneiderlin on the bench. Classic LvG.
