Joelinton been really good with the ball so far

yeah. Not sure it’s working from an attacking point of view because there’s nobody in the box to cross to when we have it down the left on the counter.

is it windy or something? Been a fair few overhit balls from left to right

Bit of a weird set up from us. Murphy is playing wing back at times and Bruno right wing almost.

wake up Bruno

Cherki should’ve just scored there

I don't think his vast improvement has anything to do (directly at least) with him playing on the left. Trippier has been playing much deeper than Hall does and Livramento basically has free rein to get forward as often as possible, and he seems to have boundless energy so it suits his game.

they’re worse players tbf

Miley been pretty poor

we just need to let them have the ball and commit players forward. Don’t think I’ve seen a PL side so bad at defending counters - their defenders are absolute fannies.

we’ve been so bad

I still think we can pass Forest. They have Villa, Spurs, Palace and West Ham away; and home games against Brentford, Chelsea and Everton which aren’t easy either.

wish Gordon would look interested when playing right wing.

really good to see him back performing at the levels he hit last season

I think people are being too harsh on his recent appearances and he needs some slack cutting. Think he’s looked progressively better - especially physically - in each sub appearance, which is what I’d expect from someone who has been injured for more or less 18 months.

really, really good last night and in the final. He’s been heavily involved in both matches which is usually the major criticism of his game. His passing and carrying were top notch. Probably motm for me.

where's 8 minutes come from

clinging on

their best player coming on

cheers man

ffs just score Alex

Isak not having the best game which means he's probably about to score

first one should've been a yellow on its own an' all

lads look confident

big strikers are coming back because teams want to play long over a press as well now, instead of trying to play through it with link-up strikers etc. Be ideal if we can bring Delap in tbh. He is young and will develop into a better player than he is now. I don’t really see it as him being 2nd choice either, there’s so many games, especially if we do well in the cups which we seem to under Eddie.
