FA chairman Greg Dyke has been urged to look at how referees are appointed for the FA Cup final after Jon Moss was named as the official for the match next month.

Moss will be tasked with officiating the match between Arsenal and Aston Villa, despite being criticised for a series of high profile errors in Premier League matches including missing two penalties in last week's match between Crystal Palace and West Brom.

Moss was also rebuked by fans after awarding four penalties and sending off Federico Fazio during Manchester v Tottenham last October.

Former referee Mark Halsey slammed the FA for the appointment.

Reading vs Arsenal: Five Things We Learned 4 show all Reading vs Arsenal: Five Things We Learned 1/4 Arsenal again underestimated the opposition - this time it didn’t cost them Just when you thought Arsenal would not underestimate opponents they went and did exactly that. They were lucky on this occasion but this will serve as another learning curve. Yes, their recent form has been staggering.



Yes, they had enough to see them through. But a team’s mentality should never change. Winning with conviction should always be the aim.



The Gunners lost their Champions League tie against Monaco because they did not take the threat of the French side seriously. At Wembley, against Reading, who are 18th in the Championship, they came close to making the same mistake.



Someone like Alexis Sanchez will never lose his desire, he will always be a threat. Unfortunately some of his teammates don’t share his outlook. Limping into your 19th FA Cup final is not a sign of a side that is going to dominate. GETTY 2/4 Alexis Sanchez - someone you can always rely on As his teammates around him stuttered, Alexis Sanchez raced around the Wembley pitch putting pressure on the Reading defenders. Sanchez plays every game as though he is playing the same opposition over and over. He doesn’t let status, wealth or names get in the way.



It meant he was sharp, ready and focused. When Mesut Ozil fed him the ball shortly before half-time, he used sublime skill to turn Garath McCleary and bury his shot underneath Adam Federici. Sanchez treated him just as he has any Premier League defender this season.



He still had enough left in the tank to win the tie for his side in extra-time when it seemed as though Reading would sneak it. Getty 3/4 Francis Coquelin not ready to be a permanent fixture in the Arsenal side just yet The effective defensive midfielder that Arsenal forgot they had. That’s how some Gunners supporters label Coquelin. He has become a regular since Arsene Wenger decided to include him in the side in December amid an injury crisis.



He has, for the most part, been a revelation. Unfortunately, though, he lacks maturity. Against a fired up Reading side he appeared to shy away a little. Nathaniel Chalobah, who the France midfielder was tasked with marking, had quite a pleasant time bossing the 23-year-old about.



Arsenal have so many attacking players in midfield that they need someone who can effectively shield the back four. Coquelin has done that before but can’t be trusted to do it in every game. He may develop into a star but for next season Wenger may need to find back someone who can regularly defend with the quality needed to challenge for the title. Getty 4/4 Per Mertesacker proved why he should always start ahead of Gabriel Paulista When Gabriel Paulista signed for Arsenal in January there was a keen sense of intrigue from Arsenal supporters. Indeed, when he played against Middlesbrough in his debut in the FA Cup he showed energy alongside Laurent Koscielny. Energy that Per Mertesacker has never had.



Many criticised the tall German when he made a costly error in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League defeat. But since then he’s rarely made a mistake and tactically he has played with an assurance many defenders don’t have. Against Reading he was wise.



Pavel Pogrebnyak and Jamie Mackie are not easy to monitor but Mertesacker did the job with ease. He also threatened at set pieces. If there was an argument for replacing him in the starting line-up with Paulista then that has certainly disintegrated now.

He said on Kicca: "Greg Dyke has got to take a look at the appointment process for the FA Cup referee because, frankly, it’s become a joke.

"I don’t blame Jon Moss, the man who will take charge at Wembley, it’s not his fault. But is he the best man for the job? Absolutely not.

"Seriously, Jon Moss at Wembley? I can’t be having that. He’s made too many high profile mistakes this season already. Even last weekend he missed two blatant penalties, one for Palace and one for West Brom."

Halsey said Mark Clattenburg should be the man in the middle at the showpiece event.

"Mark Clattenburg is consistently our outstanding referee who time and time again proves himself on the biggest stage. Look at the job he did in the Champions League match between PSG and Barcelona recently, he won major plaudits for his performance - and rightly so.

"Simply, his face doesn’t fit and the powers-that-be in this country are sending out a message to the rest of the world that they don’t rate him.
