Benitez has gone home.

He could probably afford to get a taxi down to see his family every day after training, the poor lamb. Really practical coming home every night at 2am and train the next day.

Perfect time to post this. https://twitter.com/streety200584/status/1091090322552168449

I feel sorry for Hayden. He has been very professional, but once again he is not allowed move closer to his family.

We need to spend big again in the summer if we stay up on at least one player to impress Benitez. We should breaking our transfer record again on a long term replacement for Diame, a winger or a striker that make us into a top 10 team.

Those are the good things about him from what I have heard. I would like to know if he can defend well.

What was he like at Torino? I expect him to be shite because Benitez doesn't have a great history of buying good fullbacks.

I saw the penalty again from a different angle and I didn't realised it squeezed through Ederson's body.

I think he will discuss a new contract with the club, but they need to aim higher than just survival and probably need to spend big on at least one player in the summer. Its unlikely, but still hoping if we look certain to stay up then someone will buy the club.

If Almiron starts well then a front 3 of Rondon, Perez and Almiron could be great.

I'd say its because of fatigue etc from a lot of games but christ its more or less the same for everyone and their squads should have been able to handle that better than everyone I can understand why Spurs would be tired. They have played 3 matches a week since the start of December, have lots of injuries to key players and a lot of their players arrived late for pre season after the World Cup. Its actually a surprise they are where they are in the league.

Smaller teams seem to have taken a lot of points from the big 6 teams since the start of December. They all looked unbeatable at the start of the season.

Man City fans chanting Claude Puel's name.

I think we will be buying another left back in the summer.

Been offered a new contract by Benfica. We have offered a better contract. Samaris wants to stay in Portugal. Think we should move on, but I think Hayden will stay.

Looking at how they played without Gueye against Spurs a few weeks ago they will be fucked without him in the team. It does sound like they are trying to push Silva out the door.

Bet he was impressed with the paddling pool.

Morning - Benitez considering leaving after transfer window. Afternoon - Club ban fans for inciting riots. Late Afternoon - Apparently breaking our transfer record for Almiron. Tonight - Beat the champions and end our long losing record against them. Been some day.

Its moments like this that remind you how special this club can be.

So is this the match thread?

Just judging from the angry reactions.

Fulham 0-2 Brighton.

We are not going to win with that midfield I don't know why people are surprised.

That will probably go up again when we sell Hayden and Joselu for £15 million.

Starting for Benfica tonight.
