**SPOILERS** The Football League Cup 2010/2011 Final

Foster doesn't have the intelligence to challenge Hart yet, he still makes the bad decision far too much.

It's what cost him his place at United and he still does it - even some of his touted 'best' performances earlier on this season, if you actually watch the full games rather than the highlight reel, has him making stupid runs out of his box or similar that could've easily cost Brum but didn't.

To be fair though Joe Hart has been having a few more than dodgy games lately. But they are both good keepers, who are relatively young.

The defender was going to hoof it you could tell that but pulled out halfway through, he either got a call very late or didn't get a call, even still in hat position I would expect the GK to be coming out and getting it.

The keeper clearly called for it and Kos pulled out, they both screwed up, keeper should have left it for the defender, defender should have put his boot through it anyway. The problem being, if the keeper is coming for it AND Kos puts his boot through it, the keeper might make contact with Kos's swinging leg and miss the ball anyway.

Generally speaking, unless you're 100% sure the defender should put his boot through it and the keeper should call much earlier or not put him off with the ball that close to them.

The fact that they should have had a penalty and possibly a sending off.

It was a mistake by the linesman otherwise you would have been 2-0 down at one point.

And as said - that's neither side's doing. I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about gifting them a chance!

Btw - does your mate want that X Box? I'm about to list it on eBay otherwise.
 
Awful mistake by szczesny and koscielny. Just embarrassing.

Clichy's also been poor recently. He was miles out of position and playing people onside on quite a few occasions (including the bowyer one) and was also respsible for the villa goal in the barca match. Liability?

Yeah a bit of a poisoned chalice recently. It seems ever since Seaman, getting the No. 1 spot seems to turn reliable 'keepers crazy.

Case in point, Green was one of West Ham's best performers today but during the World Cup... oh, well, you remember. :D

What kind of idiot changes your best striker in a cup final, if he was limping around in agony, thats one thing, but he came off looking fine, and showed no sign of his knock a minute after it happened. Absolute joke, I think the ONLY worse decisions Wenger could have made would be Diaby and Squillaci throw into the team somewhere or another.

Who are you to say if Van Persie was injured enough to come off or stay on. To me who looked in pain when he was substituted of, it was in no way a tactical substation.

Don't think it was pre-planned either, for all the bitching about inopportune injuries DM doesn't seem to appreciate 'playing it safe' either...
