Yeah that's a fair point, but there are quite a few mitigating factors. Subs can be hit and miss, we changed 3 at the same time which can often disrupt. Primarily, though, the second half was clearly a shut up shop job, Bruno got sent off, Isak got concussed, etc. CW is still putting himself about but there's no sense of danger there and there hasn't been for weeks. Isak looks really dynamic and threatening by comparison.

I agree with you. But, counterpoint...they're shite?

I have been banging this drum for a year now.

Clearly EH sees things which I don't. However, to my untrained eye, we've been carrying this lad for roughly a month.

The club are aware of this BTW and I think he’ll get the boot soon.

Shite, absolutely shite.

Crikey.

Never any jeopardy in the game IMO. Went into it 1-0 up, clearly the best team, 2-0 up. Even their goal was a freak wonder strike and they were still 2 goals out of it. They never threatened. It's just the way it goes when you're so clearly in the driving seat.

Was fucking mortified for 20 minutes assuming he would miss the final.

Any footage of the end of match celebrations knocking about? I had to get away a few mins before final whistle with the bairn.

Weird game, that. Never felt any sense of jeopardy for the entire night

Confident lad, I like him.

Just going to continue to say Isak should start, until he does.

The FFP thing man, how many times

Absolutely no idea.

Strange how people see differences in the same thing. I see a tweet that says nothing and is patronising.

Got no strong feelings about this lad either way, sure Eddie will turn him into a star.

He’s thinking on, he’s thinking on. In his block, which you may knock off.

Can he just put the ball in the net?™

I take the point but there's an assumption here that you can just turn it off. That's really difficult when you care about winning. The players go on the pitch with a certain mindset, which is effective, it's occasionally going to look a bit uncouth. As long as they're not deliberately hurting people/getting sent off I'm fine with it. Do what you need to do to win.

Start this fucker.

Absolutely buzzing to be taking the bairn to this. Might insist he wears his full orange Pope 22 strip.

Feel bad saying it because he’s been so good, but we’re carrying him now. Isak can do so much more, he simply must start.

Probably the least interesting thing ever?
