The quest for European next season continues!

[swash]

Too soon

[HammerAl]

Good heavens.

[Chicken Run Supreme]

Too soon

Not at all.

We will stuff the carrot crunchers of that I am sure of.

[Vienna]

Wish the season was over.

[funky chicken]

Too soon

That’s the nature of this season. We’ve already got just 2 days to prepare for this.

It’s no good pining over tonight’s game. We can’t change anything about that. But we can focus our attention to what is in front of us. And that is an opportunity to quality for a European competition for a 2nd successive season.

We need to win this one if we want 7th.

Play the kids, give everyone a long holiday.

Play the kids, give everyone a long holiday.

Play David Martin and Kevin Nolan.

[Coops]

Hopefully we can pick ourselves up for this.
7th place is still to play for and another European adventure next season.
COYI!

[EastEndIRON]

f*** the Europa league (for this season at least)

This is our cup final now

IMO, we need to regroup, not attempt another underfunded European tour.

??? we got further than Barcelona

[Shabu]

Except for a 0-0 draw with Brighton they've let in at least 2 goals per game dating back to February 9th.

Fabianski
Fredericks Diop Zouma Cresswell
Soucek Noble Rice
Lanzini
Vlasic Benrahma

3 nil Hammers

??? we got further than Barcelona

You're right. And I reckon had Barca beaten Frankfurt and we'd gone out to them instead, people would have been a lot less critical than is the case this evening.

[Gerblatz]

This match is our game in hand over Mancs - win and we’re within striking distance with a better GD..I won’t be settling for 7th when 6th has all to play for and they have Palace and Brighton away.

[Crouchend_Hammer]

Unfortunately I don't care now

I am sure we will win but nothing will make up for tonight

[HammerAl]

Areola
Fredericks Dawson Diop Johnson
Rice Noble
Vlasic Benrahma Masuaku
Yarmolenko

Should still be (just) enough to beat a rubbish Norwich side, but also gives some of our squad players the chance to stake a claim for a place in the squad next season or put themselves in the shop window for a move.

I think I’d rather see a bit of a fresher team like that, rather than a knackered same/similar XI that played tonight.

[MD_HM]

Cresswell to be given the rest of the season off

Johnson in for him and Benny in for Fornals and we go again

[vietnammer]

**** the Europa league (for this season at least)

This is our cup final now

COYI

Suppose it is, really

[Ironing Board]

Full strength. Areola for Fabs. We need to power to the end.
