It could've been given but I don't think it was a push. Defender feels the hands on his back and propels himself forward to try and win the free kick.

We’ve got CBs diving now because of VAR.

He won’t play on Sunday will he?

Sky trying to get in Bruno’s head early on.

He looks clumsy on the ball a lot. Of course not his fault he can’t really cross with his left, he’s a right back.

When he’s really up and running he’s worth a place. When he’s struggling and we’re not playing well it’s obviously harder for him. But very happy we have the big 3 in midfield for the final.

Lots of empty seats as well.

Problem is we were never going to get in the box.

Problem is we don’t have game managers on the bench, we have very random, hesitant and wasteful players like Willock and Longstaff. Personally think Miley and Osula would’ve been better than Wilson and Willock to come on, but meh. Our options are pretty bad.

I just feel like we should be absolutely dominating Ham with the lineup they put out. Must be the slowest midfield in PL history (or since we fielded Colback).

Hmm, interesting point.

No he fucking didn’t

You’re basically right but I was raging at how careless we were towards the end. Not that Longstaff, Willock and Wilson will ever make a team more secure.

Thought he was decent. It’s always going to depend on how often we can get the ball to his feet in a dangerous position.

On a serious note those subs could have cost us the game.

I do want us to play well at some point mind.

Great win but doesn’t make me much more confident for the final.

Would include Willock as well, way too untidy.

FOOTBALL!

Always happy when those three start in midfield. Big chance for Barnes as well.

There are levels of desperation.

To an extent, but it’s exaggerated. We made some great signings and made up for the overspend by losing two players who may never have made it here. Not ideal but not a disaster. You could argue that we should’ve just bought cheap players since the takeover I guess, but I like the players we bought.

B, arguably the best LB in the league or will be soon. Could start for anyone including Liverpool and Man City.

Collecting a lucrative two yellow cards in the process.

Minus a year?
