Pilko

He was shite, spent most of the game drifting offside. You could see Willock on at least two occasions losing his rag as he wanted to play a ball through but had to delay it and eventually lose it because CW was clearly beyond the last man. It would be so typical if two years after our last cup final, we had to go into another one with a chronically out of sorts Wilson leading the line. Say your prayers that Isak is healthy for it.

I mean, I'd have retained Miley in the midfield and people will debate Pope or Dubravka, but it wouldn't have made any difference to the result. I also think he waited too long to make subs but I don't think making them at 1-0 would have changed the outcome either. We were never winning that game without Isak, whether it was Eddie Howe, Eddie the Eagle Edwards or Pep Guardiola in the dugout. For that reason I don't see it worth being critical tonight.

Needs to start again on Sunday, he didn't deserve to be left out tonight.

Got some things right and some things wrong tonight but it's not even worth going over, it's Anfield, we never win there, we can just be grateful that it's over with for another year. Brighton and West Ham much more important games.

He's not a player who tends to turn up against the bigger teams, sadly. I think his lack of pace is why he won't ever play for a truly elite team, as excellent as he is a player. Even his goal record suggests it, clincher v Arsenal in his first few months aside it reads like that of a flat track bully. Doesn't help that he plays virtually every minute of every game either, always seems to look tired as the season approaches it's end.

Fuck off Attwell you prick, he wins the ball clearly.

Our best player so far, again. He's class.

I think he was just celebrating the fact he'd stayed onside for once.

The gulf between him and Wilson is absolutely mental. To think 18 months ago or so Wilson was starting ahead of him.

Need to score that Callum. Shite.

Schar's been one of our best ever value signings and I love him, but his powers are fading more rapidly by the week. Really hope he's not starting every week next season or we're bang in trouble. Same goes for Burn tbh as well as he's done. Their lack of pace is killing us some weeks.

Wilson drifting offside like a Sunday morning player is driving me mad. If we have to go into another final with him starting up top it's concrete proof that the club is cursed.

So fucking easy that man.

Willock remembering he's not feeding Isak there.

They'll have ours parsnipped by half 10 though that's the difference. Talk big and then hide it before they get in any bother.
