If we are right mentally we have far too much for Ipswich today. Hoping to see a team fired up from kick off.

Great to see him back and looking healthy. If he wasn't so honest in his press conferences, I'd never believe he had more than a mild cold tbh.

Incredible, unexpected news to log in to see today. Hopefully he's fully recovered although have a feeling he would have to be strapped to the hospital bed to keep him away from the club tbh.

Forgot the game was even on tonight...this is the way, ignore other teams and the results will roll in as you wish.

Smiling after THAT. Joke of a club.

They are just trying to be relentlessly positive. It's been a great season whatever happens, but of course it would be hugely disappointing to miss out on CL from the position we have put ourselves in. The players, staff and management would feel the same.

If we lose away at Brighton at this stage of the season when they have little to play for, we probably don't deserve CL football. We need to be on it every game.

Yep, we fucked up yesterday. Now we need to work hard to make up for that.

Where was Cole Palmer aiming that?

I'm sure the coaching team and players didn't see it as a "free hit loss" tbh. If they did, it's no wonder we got hammered. It was more a 6-pointer.

Yeah don't see them as a threat regardless of what happens today. It's 3 from Villa, Man City, Forest and us.

It is something that we need to be able to deal with next season though - we really don't want a repeat of last seasons injury crisis.

Who said it looks like he's mentally checked out already? Seems to be the case. Yes he's aging and has had lots of injuries, but it seems clear as day he's not giving 100% anymore when he does get on. Just strolling around, occasionally threatening to break out into a light jog.

We've let Villa smell blood now that the gap has been closed to only 2 points. Yesterday was a 6 pointer. We need to crush that hope now with wins.

I'd rather stay oblivious thanks

Oh great, we're back to shit takes in the heat of the moment. And others excessively moaning about them. Way to ruin a thread all

Goal difference is taking a bit of a hit here on top of losing to a rival.

Games not lost yet like. They hopefully will get nervous the later in the game it gets.

They cut through us so fucking easily, all afternoon. Like a repeat of a couple of years ago here.

Probably is if it's a Villa attacker today though.

get a complaint typed out already about this referee.

Double advantage? this fucking ref.

This referees bias is getting worse by the minute.

Referee is a homer.

How the fucks that not a free kick.
