The key difference is the manager, Pardew deserves credit for getting us there but again we showed naivety in that game, especially after Man United went down to 10 men.

The game management from pardew or the lack of it cost us that day. If we had Benteke though might of given us that extra edge.

No, he would not. He would've been making sure the team kept its shape and remained focused on keeping United away from our goal, instead of doing stupid dances and posing for the cameras.

Mariappa off the bench also sort of cost us, he had looked extremely poor that season when he did make an appearance, I think losing Dann and for Mariappa to come on did affect the players. If it were today and Dann or Kelly to come on for Sakho/Tomkins then it wouldn't have been such a blow. Townsend vs Bolasie is an interesting one, Bolasie had a poor game that day but for me is still much better than Andros. BUT the Andros of today works so much harder for the team that it's feasible to say he would have played better in that final for us. But are we also saying that Man United would have Ibrahimovic, Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Bailly etc?

The bench is just as important as the XI there. We could put out a much stronger bench this year that could be utilised to steady the ship. I assume we're talking about our current squad if there were no injuries though? Without the injuries of Tomkins and Sakho the centre back pairing we could put out now would be a lot better (also assuming Sakho was on a loan contract that allowed him to play).

In hindsight, we were witnessing not only Pardew's naivety, but also the lack of fitness that was creeping into the squad. We lost to 10 men in extra time, and never really looked like winning it with the man advantage. Allardyce's team would've had the legs to dominate in extra time, not that they would've conceded after going 1-up in the first place.
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

I know we don't really have anything to play for but I think we may well get a good idea on Sunday.
