To be honest, I'm not bothered about either cup this season, so I'm not fussed that we're out.

I just think people rate our squad as much better than it actually is. Our back four is league 1 level. Even if we had Pep as manager that wouldn't change.

Good points 123 but presume you weren't at the match live. First half until the stupid mistakes we had more possession without any real chances then they were better. Apart from 10/15 minutes including our goal in the second half we looked decent then for the last 25/30 minutes it was all Blackburn. They could have scored five. The best side won even without those stupid mistakes. Even in the last 15 minutes we did not press for the second goal, couldn't retain the ball or muster a decent chance. It was p iss poor!
