Going to say at a 6 still, though if we beat spurs I'd probably move up to an 8
-
Dont think he's our most player anymore, I think trippier deserves that, but Maxi is definitely the most exciting player we have, when he has the ball he can do just about anything at all. I still think as frustrating as he can be at times he's growing into his new role within the team more each week

No chance Potter could've turned down the Chelsea opportunity, even if it was obvious the owners insane. There's always a revolving door of managers coming through that mid table pack of clubs, but how many of them really get a chance to step up to the clubs that regularly compete for silverware, knocking back the chance he would know he could just as easily not get another opportunity. Now he's had the chance, had a payday and drop back into that realm and try something new, this won't have tarnished his reputation, with the mid table clubs if he wants a job there. Or he can take some time off to learn more then look to come back stronger like Eddie did

McTominay was never going to be anyone's first choice signing for us, but if that's who the club wants, there has to be a reason behind it, and after the last 18months, they've want enough goodwill that we should trust their reason. End of the day, our squad is so thin at the moment, even if he ends up being a bench player, he's better then other options we have to bring on at the moment so the increase in quality of the depth of our squad is still a positive
-
Irankunda is an exciting prospect, crazy he's only 17 as well
-
Easiest way for him to get an early holiday before next season as well to point the finger at ownership, can't see levy letting that go
-
One of the things I've loved since the take over is that the players still feel grounded and the atmosphere amongst them feels like they really appreciate the fans and what it means to the supporters. I think even though Burn will be replaced as a starter in the not too distant future, keeping him around the squad will continue to help keep this feeling amongst them, players like him will be essential in explaining what it means to play for this club and the history of it. He's the player that any fan could relate to, worked hard and taken the long way to finally represent the club he loves, it'll be a sad day when he finally hangs up his boots.
-
Not an exciting line up, but can see the logic behind it, Almiron will give more defensive cover, Wilson more of a target up top then Isak who looks better picking the ball up deeper. Biggest concern is the lack of Schar and having Lascelles on in his place, but considering how little Lascelles has played this season, I'm assuming there's a valid reason that he's been picked to start. Going to be a tough game no matter what
-
Yeah Bruno feels like he's completely onboard with the project, he may have signed initially seeing it as a stepping stone, but the way he talks about the city, club and fans, I think he's realized it's something special to be a part of.

Well I'd rather lose at Wembley then be scared of being relegated in February. Still been a great season so far, and it's early days in our rebuild. Genuinely think that in 5 years time when we're much more developed in the plan, we will look back on this season with fond memories, the backline, the unbeaten run and clean sheets, Miggy's purple patch and a cup final, and with a bunch of players that seem like they're a good bunch
-
Sabitizer and Sancho compared to Ritchie and Murphy subs, squad needs so much overhauling
-
Bruno looks like hes in alot of pain
-
Weve not been bad, even after the first goal we responded well. Second goal though we look rattled, and started lashing out, I can see one of our Brazilians getting sent off while going in with too much emotion
-
Fuck off
-
Giving the team a breather I hope
-
Dalot is going to be second guessing himself all game now
-
Got a good feeling about Maxi tonight
-
Sounds like your south of the border from me, 230am kick off here, ive told work not to expect me in the office Monday morning though. We've got a house full of inlaws family, half of them sleeping in the lounge room, I've warned them that they will be watching the game with me if they're here tonight still. Can't believe how fucking nervous I am for this game, still not letting myself get optimistic about the result!
-
Probably a stupid question, if it's the owners who are responsible for this financial cheating, is there a chance that the league could remove their standing as being fit and proper and so unable to own the club any longer forcing it to be sold off?
-
Most seemed to be happy with a top 10 finish to the season, we're still on track to achieve more then that. Even if our form has dropped, season is 38 games long and we were always going to have dips, the intensity we started with could never be maintained with the squad depth we have. Were still 17 games undefeated. Adding to our squad in January would've been nice, but getting enough in to continue a top 4 push would've taken massive cash at a time that there's not great value for money. Just need to keep getting patient and enjoy the ride Plus we're in a cup final!
-
The owners have shown that they home no value for their history, how can they celebrate any trophy now when they know they would sell it given the chance
-
For all the shit Ashley put us through, the way Jonas was treated during his battle with cancer really is the worst of it. The club couldn't even manage the most basic of defences. We've come so far since then thankfully
-
Would be great having a full strength squad against Liverpool, but I would bet good money that Bruno being out for 3 weeks because of a silly mistake will have him completely fired up for the final and go in with a point to prove
