Eh?

Sabitzer looks utterly shit, hope he plays next week

Shame, has he shown much individual quality since arriving at Hearts?

Did the forest forums show him some love? Hope he gets a few more before the end of the season, will make me feel less guilty

Well, the ‘all of a sudden’ comment was in reference to the fact that they’ve spent an absolute fortune and still been utter shit for several years. It’s only since Ten Hag came in that they’ve looked like a side with an identity

Aye, sadly you’re a very competent side all of a sudden. Casemiro has transformed you, along with Rashford’s goal scoring form. I know you love Fernandes too and he’s clearly absolute quality despite being a total nobhead. You’re going in as clear favourites now that Pope is out but I reckon the match will be played at a really fast tempo and hang on the quality of finishing on the day

Don’t really see it as being that shitty like, Pope has been immense all season. Dubravka, in the few appearances he had for Man U looked in really poor form. We got a loan fee and didn’t have to pay wages. I think Karius could easily put in a superior performance next week compared with what Dubravka would

There’s a reason why his two best performances this season were against City and Liverpool. I love him when he has space to run into and he’s not facing a low block. In fairness yesterday he also made the right decision again and again. I don’t necessarily want him to be the most consistent player as that’s not realistic with flair players with such fantastic dribbling quality but if he can build on making the right decisions more and more then he can be such a huge asset

That run was great, he did everything right, ran with it for the perfect distance and a great pace and released it with the right weight to the right person. In a way it seems simple but Gordon is clearly extremely good at doing the simple stuff well, which tons of footballers struggle with. His pace and understanding of how to link in with players is going to be massive for us

Far and away the most gutting thing is him not being able to play the final. Not so much for us as a team as I hope Karius can produce a performance to be proud of. More just gutted for him, sure he must be incredibly cut up about missing the final and if there’s a goalkeeping error in the final he’ll probably feel even worse. He just has to use that to spur himself on even more. Howe will be doing everything to lift him up again so I’m not overly concerned longer term just such a shame

Despise Klopp nowadays, think he’s my least favourite manager in the league at the moment

Zero I’d imagine. Karius has shown in the past that he has significant more quality than Darlow. We’ve kept him on longer than the January window when we didn’t need to. Karius is going to be desperate to perform too

His sweeping is outstanding. It is a huge part of how we play. I would like our defence to have more pace in it, that’s one of our biggest weaknesses but it’s not really been exploited until today. What if Pope doesn’t come for that ball? He didn’t really have much choice, I just question how he used his body to come for the ball

We‘ve dominated loads of games and not scored due to poor finishing. Yes, it’s been really frustrating but I’d say poor finishing is probably the easiest thing to accept while your team is still playing well. It was only last week that we actually played genuinely shit

This is going in our documentary as a major arc in the career recovery of Karius. He’s going to put in a performance in the final for sure

I really like him, think he’s going to be absolutely class within a year and a half

Didn’t actually see the first twenty as I was driving, will rewatch later

Meant to say confident but I’m happy with coffins and won’t be editing

He’ll definitely brush it off, I’m gutted he doesn’t get to play in a final of a competition that he’s been a huge part of but this isn’t going to affect his game at all. He’s an extremely coffins player who’s been our most consistent player alongside Joelinton all season

Was such a strange way to try to clear the ball, I get that he was doing whatever he could to get there but diving head first towards the ball has surely never worked out unless you’ve got total control of your body

This, dickheads

This is actually embarrassing to watch defensively

Jesus fucking Christ

Find all the comments about Anderson really odd. Yes, his one start was poor but he’s also shown lots of decent moments. Howe’s not putting him in there unless he thinks he’s up to playing. Will be a fantastic test for him

Hopefully tasting it later on too, have a munch on Klopp’s face to really send him over the edge
