You want someone to blame I'll give you a candidate. Simon Davey, I'm not a Davey lover nor am I a hater but with 10 minutes to play at Wembley and 1-0 down why take off Kozluk and bring on Butterfield, Togwell was on the bench which would have allowed us to go 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 for the last few minutes? Not seen why Nardiello wsn/t anywhere but supposedly Simon knows best!!! :'( (doh)
A fair point - and one I wouldn't argue with. I think everyone has been bemused with tactics this year. Nardiello was rulled out with a hamstring strain.
We were on top all game after they scored, despite Cardiff spending more and having bigger names. This is due to the effort from the team and because Simon got his tactics right. Today's not a day to criticise, but to celebrate the achievements of a team who play for eachother and who we can be proud to support.
Nardiello should be nowhere near the team, his attitude is awful and his team mates should be forced to carry him.
I'm not critisizing his overall tactics, we did indeed dominate the possesion and take the game to Cardiff but with 10 to play and at 1-0 down whats the risk. If we lose 1-0 or 5-0 the result is the same we're out the cup so why not take the chance. As for Nardiello I agree he does seem lazy for more meaningless matches but, as I've argues with Mun Utd fans today in the pub who say he's not done bad, he does onl;y turn it on in the big games or when a contract is at stake. Fair enough if he was ligitimately injured then he couldn't play but most of the Sunday papers said he would be fit( O.K the same said papers said that Foster wouldn't be fit but he was.). Overall I feel the best team lost as did many neutrals/ friends/ anti welsh in my local but we created chances and didn't take them, that not tactics that's down to the players.
