Surprised that stood after Isaks push

He can clearly do it. The cross to Trippier for Barnes' best chance was beautiful.

Pope annoyed with Livramento for passing back to him Literally 0 confidence in his own ability.

West Ham looking like shit. Starting to feel like a crappy Soucek goal coming soon if we don't score.

the fucks going on with the light show and fireworks?

great game this.

jesus christ what a goal by Bournemouth

Besides our games, I really enjoy watching the games when Brighton, Bournemouth and Fulham are playing each other these days. Such well coached, dynamic teams with some quality players that can be prone to making mistakes which makes the games quite open.

Jesus fucking christ. Take that back immediately.

If he was available at an acceptable price and we get european football next season, I don't think he'd be opposed to joining us because of Isak. He'd get a lot of football here due to rotation, Isak injuries & occasionally when we want to play with two up top like we did quite a lot with Isak and Wilson two seasons ago when we were chasing an equalizer.

Agree. Not in their qualities as players, but in their mentality on the pitch. They've got that dog in them, chasing, harrassing, and always looking to get a psychological advantage over their opponents.

Real Sociedad having a pretty bad season. 23 goals scored in 26 games in the league.

Højlund reminds me a bit of Chris Wood when he payed for us the way he chases shadows and struggles to get involved in the game. For his own sake from a sporting perspective he should try to get away asap.

Stop it please. It's bad enough that KaKa fucked all of us over by getting Gordon suspended and Hall injured due to openly wishing injury on Salah last week. We hardly got any players left.

Why would you do such a thing?

Guess that includes CL money, so won't look as good in the next set of accounts?

Completely fair for Howe to challenge the players to fight for a spot in the cup final considering the last few performances. Would hate to see players giving up on balls they normally wouldnt, or not challenge for the ball when they normally would in fear of missing out on the final due to suspension or injury.

so god damn pathetic it's actually comical.

I'd start Wilson against West ham, but Isak needs minutes as well to keep him match sharp.

All of December up until the 4-1 loss to Bournemouth 15th January was pretty wild imo. Compared to the previous 3 seasons though this one has definitely been the least entertaining.

Another game where we take the lead and immediately fall back to defend deep, give up all initiative and aim to hit the opponent on the counter. Wish we'd just try to play the same way that got us up to 1-0 in the first place.

What? His performances against Forest & Liverpool doesn't change anything in the grand scheme of things. It'd be nice to upgrade, but we're not desperate for a new first choice keeper.

I'd be more worried for the final if we had taken a point or more at Anfield tbh. At least Liverpool won't show up with a point to prove on top of the motivasion of it being a final.

Going way above my knowledge of system and tactics here, so take it with a grain of salt, but I think we have good passers in the side which indicates to me we need better playing patterns/systems, and players need to work harder to make themselves available to receive the ball. Take yesterday as an example: Liverpool were closing down our players with 2 and 3 men, and our ball carrier often had no available pass, so he was forced to either send it back to the gk or cb's, or try a hopeful hoof. With committing so many players to winning the ball surely there must be positions we could have taken to exploit Liverpool, yet it felt as every player was marked elsewhere on the pitch.
