Must be down to 1st half injury maybe?

Willock on for Big Joe?

2015

Wasn't our last hattrick Ayoze Perez vs Southampton 2019?

Sandrooooo Three set piece goals in a week, is this real life?

Murphy again

What in the us is this Leicester away performance?

Isaaaaak

All is forgiven

Should be at least 2 up by now

What a waste of a shirt Murph has been today

Major red top bias played out last night and we still claimed a draw, the foul on Gordon in the box, the blatant stonewall pen against Isak and the whistle in a promising counter attack. As blatant as it gets, yet we still came out on top, class.

What a fix, why is the ref blowing the whistle when we've got an overload in attack.

This will be more suited to us as a game and players will step up, I'm going for a plucky 1-2 or 0-1 defeat and probably another dodgy decision for one of the red tops or against us, or double whammy and both.

Shouldn't be scoring from there

Typical overreaction here I see, I'm glad I watched it away from the forum, we've not been half as bad as suggested on here. We've been the better side, just a lapse in concentration separates us. I think if we score early second half West Ham will fold, we've had a couple of chances I'd expect us to score so it just feels like a matter of time.

Proper soft that

Great goal, well worked down that side and great positioning from Watkins.

This is the issue we face, I agree its a small sample size but there was definite improvement. The Bruno/Tonali issue is something Howe needs to work out, because putting Tonali on the right negates a lot of his positives and dropping Longstaff, for all the abuse he gets from our fans, greatly affects our balance.

Just a few things I noticed from Wednesday night: We are 10x better in transition with Willock on the left. Kelly is better at CB than Dan Burn. Tonali is better as CM than out on the right and needs to be our maestro. Hall is ridiculously good and improving every game. Keep those changes and we stand a chance tomorrow.

I hope its a really controversial goal again and we beat them 1-0 for the tears and ultimately the schadenfreude.

Was a game of two tactics for us today, the first half harassing and hurrying their back line into mistake after mistake and we got the reward we deserved from our tenacity. Second half saw us shut up shop and ask Chelsea to come and make the tie interesting and it was a solid defensive display with a couple of opportunities to kill the tie off. Every player played their part and although there was a couple of lapses in concentration, no one deserved a berating today. Tonali was MOTM for me, he really made us tick.

Probably the best tie we could have hoped for, happy with that

Should have been 3

Tonali looks awesome in that "quarterback" position, really pulling the strings tonight.
