Aaron Cresswell redemption arc. 93rd min free kick to make it 3-0

Between us and Chelsea for 8th and 9th I think.

Feels like the beginning of the end. Limping out EL and down the league. Can’t see where we can get a run with our fixtures. We’re running out of games now anyway. 6th is obviously still in sight from a points perspective but we just turn up and get beat every week. Pray for a miracle Thursday. Stra...

Hopefully just got sparked out and nothing too serious other than a few weeks of recovery / concussion protocol.

Get well soon GE

Bit of ring rust but Ings showing great movement to find space in between their back two. The goal will come for him.

Our bench yesterday: Anang, Knightbridge, Aguerd, Casey, Ogbonna, Johnson, Cornet, Earthy, Orford, Ings, Mubama. To say we could achieve more with our paper thin squad, is a big statement, IMHO. We could not achieve more from the ability of them alone, but that's his squad, whether he trusts them, ...

We need to have a go. We have no choice. They have scored in every game bar one this season and our last CS came about four months ago I think. So based on that alone it looks like we will need to score an absolute minimum of three just to level the tie. Sad to say but I think it's game over. Men vs...

I personally like the fact he has that bite to him. Wish more of our team did tbh.

What did everyone think of the ref tonight ? Seemed a little keener to give them some stuff, but all in all to me he was a cut above most Premier refs. Didn’t have too much to do. Got the Paqueta decision right, perhaps the Emerson one wrong but depends how he saw it in the flesh I guess, as he did...

They’ll sign Florian Wirtz instead for £80m.

Paqueta and kudas were alway going to fight for the scraps tonight. Would you have changed the game plan? I’m not sure. The game plan isn’t what I’m saying I disagree with per se. I am just not in agreement with the sentiment that we were unlucky to lose 2-0. Or that it was a great defensive displa...

I thought Kudus did all he could, his starting position was so deep and marked by 2 or 3 players. We have to have a back 4 next week Yeah he grafter his nuts off. Just not in the game. As you say, started deep, they were able to double up on him further up the pitch as we just didn’t have numbers t...

I’m going to get pelters here judging by the comments but that was an awful performance. Paqueta and Kudus not in the game at all. We didn’t get on the ball and try to make anything happen at any point in the game. The central boys couldn’t string a pass together. Our two players on yellows both got...

We have such a poor squad it’s not really a surprise is it!

Our own doing. We just need legs. Benrahma, Lanzini and Fornals have never been replaced within the squad. It’s 2022 all over again.

Gotta a feeling this is going to be a tough watch but I am there for every second of it. European 1/4 finals don’t come around too often.

According to Tim Vickery the South American football correspondent for BBC Sport speaking on talksport Hawksbee & Jacobs radio show Wednesday afternoon "Lucas Paqueta, "That he's going word in Brazil" and "It would seem that this one is likely to happen" :furrow: This i...

Have a feeling we'll see BJohnson RW and Kudus central in front of Soucek and JWP.

Proper fans. Proper rivalry. A lot of respect for them post Isla Caton fundraising.

From personal experience I can recommend a Jack Russell, they're fearless little ****ers who'll destroy everything in their path. We’ve got a miniature dachshund and she’s willing to go toe to toe with anyone or anything that wants it. She’d be destroyed in a matter of seconds but she don’t half ba...
