We really do need to start doing business transfer wise. This has a repeat of the Leeds match again. We really need something if a fresh spark to the team. And Trippier is having on of those days again with his crosses.

He won't come on for the 2nd half. He knows it may be bad.

Just need Everton owners to go one more step bonkers and get Bruce to save them.

Fulham are a canny side. Hope our players are ready to go at it again in the league. Despite the semi-finals, the league games need them to be at theit best.

Cheer up Steevie Bruce!

It's the equivalant of having Chris Wood, in an offside position, chasing the ball, but not getting anywhere to touching it and letting the real Bruno go through and score.

Fuckin hell. He's gonna get punished surely from Howe. Hope he realises how thick he is doing that.

Hmmm. Did he miss that chance against Wednesday on purpose? Was it all part of the plan that we would have a weekend off between 2 League Cup semifinal legs had we lost that FA Cup game? Should we thank him now for missing that chance and avoid a replay or a 4th round tie? Naaah. Fuck that and his shit miss. I should shut me brain down too for a while.

Been looking at their fixtures before the semis 1st and 2nd leg.. Everton A Villa H Newcastle H Blackpool H Newcastle A I think momentum is something important for them. They won against City on the back of a probably unexpected away win against Palace in the FA Cup a few days earlier. They have a struggling Lampard Everton this weekend at Goodison where the crowd factor might help them pull off a result. Then a shaky or unpredictable Villa at home before the 1st leg. Win both games or avoid defeat, their league position might be healthier and they'll go into the St.Mary's leg on a high. Any negative results in both, and their league position would be bad and their priorities would be difficult to handle. Similarly, that Blackpool tie could give them a headache. If they need a result at SJP, they'll probably need a reserve team for the FA Cup. If we get into a healthy lead from the 1st leg, probably they can put a decent team against Blackpool, who remember, dismantled Forest in the last round, something Southampton probably don't want to happen to them and harm their confidence. Having said all that though, we too have tricky games. We need to keep the momentum up now, put chances away, find a way past Fulham and Palace. Keeping the expectations realistic but at the same time, doing the job as hoped is also something Howe will definitely instill into the players from now.

They have Blackpool at home for the FA Cup before the 2nd leg. Rest their players and they could be at the end of a cupset before the 2nd leg.

DO NOT fuck this up lads. very typical NUFC if we do. Would be a change of times (and luck) if we go all the way.

Glad he had a far happier evening yesterday than on Saturday evening and having Lineker rubbing it into him on Sunday. Seen clips of him watching like any true fan would yesterday. His twitter was cool too.

Nah. We're signing one of the Neville.

I want us to get to the final so hopefully get the best option which is Forest in the semis, 2nd leg at home and face whoever it is in the final.

We need to stop this habbit of missing chances. We'll have upcoming oppositions where they'll play simillar to Leicester so we'll need to start putting chances away or else it'll become an unncessary bit of rot we'll be in.

Get a fucking early goal please. Some of our fans get easily restless and that'll be a bad influence on the players. An early goal would let us dictate the game better and those fans can go for their early pies and pints. Would rather start big Joe on the left instead of ASM at the moment. We really don't know what to expect from him nowadays, so lthe fluidity of the team is paramount as opposed to individual brilliance. Get a goal or two and then bring ASM on.

Don't think I have ever known a footballer with such limited thinking ability like him. He's like a student who supposedly knows maths but can't figure out what 1+1 equals when asked to answer.

Something to learn today Eddie. You'd need to train the lads on how to comeback while trailing as we have not really been in that position this season apart fron Tranmere away.

Donkey.

Pure leader and organiser this lad.

Partly agree but it's not like Eddie picked youngsters or U21s to play. He picked players he thought that could genuinely win us the match. The players that came in, all had PL experience and were no strangers to the squad. Only thing now obvious is that Eddie cannot simply reply on these players anymore than he has previously. Wood, Murphy, Lewis, Lascelles, Dubravka were my ultimate dissapointment when we relied on them the most. Ritchie and Manquillo I would regard them as doing what was expected of them.

I have no doubt we would have played our best team today had we not have a home quarter final league cup match in 3 days time. Hopefully, there is a silver lining to this defeat.

Clean sheet record - gone Unbeaten record - gone Botman's unbeaten record - gone 3 games witbout a win. Need to stop that on Tuesday.

Just like the Leeds game, this resukt is a good reminder to Eddie and the owners that our backup options are absolutely gash and wank.

I said at half time. Our play in front of the back 4 has been wank.
