Well done Plymouth. Magic of the FA Cup and that

After the Leicester result earlier too it's nice to see another underdog get up against a big side. The magic is is alive and well.

I'm a bit disappointed Slot didn't take it seriously. FA cup is a comp I'm always keen for us to win.

Guess its time to roll out the Arsenal excuse that we didn't need the extra fixtures anyway :thumbup:.. bigger fish to fry.

I always want us to win the FA Cup but genuinely relieved/not arsed this year. We're already in a cup final and have 5 league matches in 15 days coming up. Going deep in four comps has done us no favours at all in the past.

I'll regret thinking this in future when we're also-rans again.

The game ended with Chiesa, Jota, Nunez, Diaz and Elliott on the pitch which you would expect to be enough for Plymouth tbf.

Look at the players we didn't even bother sending - Virgil, Konate, Alisson, Grav, Macca, Gakpo, Salah, Szobo, Bradley, Robertson. 10 starters for the Everton game right there.

None of those guys you mentioned are defensive players and Gomez went off in the 11th minute. I get the whole banter for losing to Plymouth thing but reality is Slot showed how little he cared with the team selection. He had Jones (as one of only two senior players) on the bench and didn't want to use him.

I don't agree with the approach but its clear his priorities are elsewhere.
