Rice still had a decent game I thought, it was Soucek that was completely owned by big Joe

Subbed off now

I think Bruno for Shelvey is probably the right substitution after about 15-20 minutes in the 2nd. I have been amazed at how easy we have had it when getting the ball down in the midfield and passing through them. Bruno should be able to add some ability to play a forward pass and carry the ball

Fuck

Yep that would make sense with the West Ham set price threat

I think he fits into the 4-3-3 in Fraser’s position. They are both essentially the same player not really contributing to our attacking threat in a great deal, but you know that they will run around all day for you

£45m is overpaying for Eze. There’s clearly talent there and I wanted us to get him before he joined Palace, but I think we could do better than him for that amount of money

Top lad

Yep it appears that Clark and Fernandez will gone in the summer. I suspect we will add one top class central defender to join Burn, Lascelles and Schar

I have never really lost the passion for the team even through the pretty shite years, but yesterday I was back to feeling really nervous, heart beating faster and standing up in front of the tub for the whole second half because the win felt so important to us

This

Agreed. He’s actually brilliant at shielding the ball too and getting out of a tight situation when it doesn’t look like he can. He needs to improve his concentration at times because that’s when he lays off a shit pass or falls on his arse

Has to keep his place with Schar now for next week

Great effort from the lad today, deserves full credit for that performance given how much I have slated the guy over the years

Bruno for Willock should be the change here

We need Bruno on to get the ball and calm things down, but not sure who comes off here because ASM could get us chance from nothing so worth keeping him on for a bit longer

The full backs are overlapping on both sides and it’s killing us. Howe needs to get a message out there

Very lucky there. This needs to be a kick up the arse now

Holding on here big time

Probably won’t get to see Bruno now as we need to save the substitute

Fuck a duck

I’m feeling a bit nervous that they could turn this around in the second half. We have to make them pay when we turn the ball over

Can’t believe he didn’t play the pass to Fraser

Yeah so derogatory about Chris Wood there, utterly embarrassing really

I’m a big fan of Howe’s, but Emery would have been great here
