Has he played every game this season? Absolutely massive player and character. Has lifted every player up to his level since joining.

I'm soo happy ?

14 shots and only 2 on target is the story.

I mean so far their game plan is working exactly how they want. I imagine they aim to get to 60 then bring on Maddison and Barnes. So frustrating but we need to jot force it. Also feel like we could afford to get that extra body in the box to help Wilson. Also the boys hitting the target would be nice.

Hope the boys can go again after a big effort in a quick turnaround. Midfield is looking a little depleted. Maybe a start for ASM and Isak in the 10 role?

Delayed that through ball to Isak way too long unfortunately.

Yeah poor game from him. Looks like he's carrying an injury. So too is Bruno. I think out midfield at the moment, especially with Longstaff missing is contributing to our defenders getting pulled out of position and looking so vulnerable recently. Hope they can patch themselves up and just help us get over the line with the next two massive games.

Another reason we should be playing Targett more over Burn. Atleast allows us to mix up the set pieces with a left footer. Feel like I feel the same every game but Burn is contributing little defensively currently and really hampering us going forward. Lost count of the amount of times he needed to get the ball out wide quickly to Isak/Willock/ASM and took way too long. Just wish Targett was in the rotation more for certain games.

This Brighton game is the one for the boys to go all in on. Win that and then the place will be bouncing going into that Leicester game where we can guarantee it and the players can celebrate with the home fana what would have been an incredible season. Lads just need to dig deep and pull a mega performance out on Thursday. Forget nerves or pressure just go out and enjoy it and remember they are in 3rd currently for a reason. They are a good team and we deserve to finish Top 4. Just gotta get over the line.

? Look like conceding everytime a team attacks at the moment.

I dunno how the league's meanest defense has turned into such a mess.

Why am I so nervous when I think about this game?. We don't even have to win it technically but I just have this horrible fear of losing and then going to Leeds and also somehow losing and then going into the last 3 needing two wins ?. Just think they have strong players all over the pitch and it's gonna be a tough game even if they are bit downbeat.

There's also the chance that we ruined their top 4 challenge last year so they could ruin our.....nah not gonna say it. Plus, ofcourse, we can afford to lose this game worst case scenario. Just can't let it affect the Leeds game.

I think our lads like the big match feel. Seems to have raised their levels like in the City home game, spurs away, Chelsea home, man utd home and then most recent the spurs home. In some ways we struggle more in games like the weekend where we look a little passive and not quite sharp. So hopefully we will be at our best and Arsenal have an off day.

Willock was alone in their half against about 5 players. Wasn't much of an advantage.

Only City and Arsenal have been better than us this year as the table shows. But if we play to our maximum like we did in that spurs first 20, a potentially demoralised Arsenal could crumble. Although not to the extent of spurs. However defensively we have looked really suspect of late and our attack has distracted from the soft goals we have been leaking. So we need to be right on it because Arsenal can rip through us if we aren't careful.

Swear Liverpool are so flukey. Dunno how they keep getting away with it. Someone has to make them pay for their defending before the season is out.

Van Dijk on that goal ?

Difference is. We sort of calmed down after 5. I don't think Liverpool will stop and this could be a much higher defeat for spurs.

I mean I think Liverpool will win every game unfortunately. But we just need to keep going and make it meaningless.

It's really nice that, like all the top teams from years gone by, feels like we have more gears we can get to and can turn games around and just smother teams now. We are going to have games where we look sloppy and not at it and if we can turn those games around into wins then we are looking the real deal.

Deserved a hat trick. Totally understand managing his minutes due to his injury issues previously. But I think in a one off game against Arsenal it's time to go all out with Isak and Wilson starting. (If Longstaff is injured)

Important not to chase this too much else we'll get done on counter again. But certainly been sloppy and disjointed so far. Too many players have moved positions and have lost their rhythm due to longstaffs injury. Wilson needs to be on soon than later.

It's nice going into games just excited to see what great play are lads will come up with this time. Hopefully get to see Isak from the start.

Unfortunately I think it's more likely Liverpool do something similar to what we did to Spurs. If I were spurs I would pack that defence and just play counter with Son.
