next two games are must win if we want CL! Brighton are very hit and miss, not sure if we should press them high as they do play through the press well, if so, I would have Gordon back on the field..also to help track back and mark Minteh.

Possibility that Chelsea, City and Forest lose their next prem league games, none of them very easy; Chelsea - Liverpool Forest - Brentford City - Wolves

That shot he took into the top corner would have been a worldy, just half a foot wide. Mind, he could of passed for either of wilson or osula as well

I agree that he looks very tidy on the ball, hopefully he will grow into the midfield role and dominate in the future. looks like the type of player who can dominate the tempo of the match when he wants to..

Not a chance, they are playing pretty badly even though they are still scoring goals. No way we can let welbeck get the better of us again next week, also with Tino at left back we should nullify the pace of minteh.

Chelsea have the hardest run in, but we are five points ahead of villa. If we beat Brighton away next week I think we will qualify for the champs league! Chelsea and Everton hme games are must wins. Both looked pretty crap earlier today fwiw.

We should have had three or four goals in the first half, just seemed they had a force field erected in their goal, unreal it never went in...

His runs in behind the defence are timed to perfection, and with Bruno/tripps feeding him inch-perfect passes he is absolutely wallowing in it!! Long may it continue! Another belter from him

Injured his knee last game apparently, waiting for test results... Hmmm, not exactly what is needed for the run in, hopefully it´s nothing!

9 points to cement it

Miles better than Wilson. Just needs to calm down a bit, seems to only function at a 110mph

Like the gib of delap, in a good team he would be very dangerous. Lots of pace, strong and good running into channels

Burn has a yellow and delap and enciso have pace. Craft or botman on

I think Eddie has been quoted recently that players could earn their place in the team via performances and training. Barnes has to stay based upon goals/assists contributed over this short period

I agree, we could go another season with the same two keepers. But... we do need a striker, a winger or even a combo of the two (Mbuemo type) to cover for and to be able to rest Isak. Schar is already showing signs of losing his legs and concentration in parts of this season so we need to get a high level replacement so that Schar is the reserve in that position. Three "Purples": RW, RCB & Striker "Up and comings": Goalie, Nº10, Midfielder (if we sell Sean or Willock)

Not too bad a line up for everton: Pickford Mykolenko Branthwaite Patterson O'Brien Gueye Garner Ndiaye Doucouré Harrison Beto

Come on you Blues (Everton)!!! Don´t like seamus coleman up against chelsea´s attack tho´

I think out of Barnes and Murphy it has to be murph who is dropped, he was pretty lame against Villa (as were many) and he is not on the same level as Barnes IMO. I would also have Krafty in at centre back instead of Schar, i just think he needs a rest and a reset...

Is DCL better than Wilson at this moment in time? I think he probably is and as a free Transfer It would be a simple one in one out. Would rather spend a large wedge on Mbuemo, keeper and a rcb.

So we cannot rely on 3 wins and a draw

Looking at villas fixtures after tonight, they are well capable of winning them all and getting 12 points. That means we need to win four also. Our gd took a hit on Saturday

Chelsea have a fairly difficult run in and should drop points given their recent form; Everton, Liverpool, Us, Manu, Forest

our next three games are the most important; ipswich and brighton are down on form and should be winnable, chelsea at home is a "six-pointer", if we do them then I think we qualify. Mancity or villa are going to drop points this week so we must take advantage...

Missing in action today.

The pair of them magnified the mistakes, was obvious villa targeted our right sided of the defence, watkins was always between him and schar and pissed all over them
