This guy is a proper twatcunt of the highest degree!

Baileys is an absolute fraud.

Who? Hato? Left sided isn't he?

My guess is just as valid. 100m with Europa League. 150m+ with CL.

Ramsey isn’t a bad player but no thanks. We need reliable players.

Imagine how thick Delap is if he’s even considering going there Not that bothered about Delap either way, mind.

Love him!

Feel the same. Earlier today I came to think about that part in the movie Interstellar where a few of them visit that other planet and when they come back the same age every else has gotten like 40 years older.

I genuinely don’t remember the last time I was this “good” so soon after a loss. I’m feeling more proud than disappointed to be totally honest. Overall we were the better team and we looked very very solid and created quite a few chances that perhaps should have scored with a bit more luck and cutting edge. A few situations where that last edge was missing. I really liked our game plan and how we cut them open with ease. We looked fluid and aware in more or less every detail. Botman is just a class act. Burn hade done fantastically well but Botmans’s extra star ability makes a massive difference. Will be really interesting to see how we look with a hopefully fully fit and available Sven next season. Add some extra genuine technical ability and quality plus a keeper with great feet and the sky’s the limit. Obviously dependant on squad depth/injuries. I really like how we’ve been playing a couple of different systems and how quickly EH has got it spot on overall. I hope and it wouldn’t surprise me if Eddie wants an attacking midfielder and have yet another option and perhaps go more in the mould of 4-2-3-1 as well, without the typical kind of #10, but a more dynamic AMC to give something different from central midfield. Exciting times! Now let’s batter Everton and grab that CL spot and it’s been an extra amazing season.

I wouldn’t sell him if it was for a tiny profit. Also, IF we did sell him then I would go for a very highly rated young winger and use the money for other areas.

Of course it would.

I wouldn’t actively try to sell him, absolutely not. However, IF we get an offer that is very very good then I wouldn’t be against it. He’s very good but also a bit limited in some regards. Only makes some kind of sense to sell him if it means we can get a couple of extra quality players to strengthen in our weaker areas. I don’t rate him as highly as I do Botman, Hall, Isak, Bruno and Tonali.

Needs a slap.

We won’t. No matter what we do the squad will still be short of quality in depth. Especially when being in Europe. A decent run in the CL (if we get it) and hopefully making the CL again next time along with doing well domestically in the cups. That would be great progress.

Is it Sunday yet?? Waiting for Sunday’s game is like running in your dreams.

Obviously. I think people in here are kind of confident but it means so much to everyone and anything can happen so it’s only natural to have the emotions about it and have the underlying fear of missing out despite it being relatively unlikely. Everyone just wants it so much.

Early goal(s) please, and no sitting back when we lead. Don’t allow them to pick up momentum and bomb the box with balls. We do this and we often really struggle to get control of the game again. Especially since the anxiety in the crowd hits in. I would honestly die if we lead only 1-0 and start sitting back too much of the second half.

I’m already absolutely sick of waiting. I want this decided asap. Gonna be a long and slow week this

Composed and cool and really helped us to keep the ball in possession. Never looked like a struggle for him to allow us to retain the ball.

Hoping that Trippier is fit for this. Really need his cool and leadership on top of his ability on the ball obviously.

Don’t wish to jinx it but it’s massive that their two best CB’s might be out. Unless BW somehow wasn’t that badly injured. We should beat them anyway but every little detail helps.

Wouldn’t train him at all.

Would really like to see him and Bruno in a double pivot with an attacking midfielder in front of them. I like the thought of their progressive passing as well as more support for Isak from a more central area. Not necessarily a tiny ten. But a more attacking option slightly ahead of them. You can sort of see it when we play the system we did today. At least some signs.

What exactly did Rice say about us? I think he’s one of a very few who’s actually quite likeable. I think Miley did really well. I like his composure on the pitch. It could be very well needed against Everton. Quite content about the game overall.

Let him dive to the fucking bench!
