Yeah and the approach to both those finals was spot on. Everyone behind the ball and playing on the break

I just find this whole rule absolutely ridiculous. The prize for winning the cup is winning the actual fucking cup! In what world is it fair to even Chelsea who finished two places above Man Utd and then ending up in the third tier of European competition

Would DCL even want to move to be an obvious second choice and on the bench for most of the season - I’m not so sure

No doubting his quality, but I really don’t see where MGW plays in our set up. He can’t come into a midfield three as his best work is in forward areas and is far less defensively minded than everyone else. We’re already so open in that midfield as it is. Maybe he works on the right side, but I’d be looking for someone with more flair, pace and trickery

I’d actually take that lad from Luton, he’s such a handful and gives us a different dimension. Looked good every time I’ve seen him and a solid backup

I’ve always said that his defensive positions are not great, he’s cost us so many goals with just being slow to move up the line. You can forgive this when he’s so good going forward and a massive part of our good attacking play, but I’d rather see Livramento in the side now

I love how we don’t take any shit from these clubs anymore - so refreshing seeing someone have the might to stand up to these bastards

Yeah he really should be vice captain now at least. He plays every game and is everything you want from a captain out on the pitch

That’s a fucking red card

Then it gets missed just like yesterday. I don’t think we’ll ever get past that sadly unless a consensus decision system is used instead, even without a challenge system. The issue that we’ve got is that the threshold for a mistake is still subjective so we need to try and get to a place where majority rules - like yesterday would’ve 9 out of 10 people saying penalty, so let’s go with that.

Hopefully the new offside technology coming in will make decisions quicker and reduce the issues with the tight calls. I still maintain that the only way forward for VAR for everything else is to move it to a challenge system like cricket. Each team gets a review of a decision / non decision and then a panel of officials then vote on the call and majority rules. Football decisions are subjective and this is the only way to try and counter that. Take yesterday’s penalty claim, we ask for a review and then 5 people on the panel say yes or no penalty.

What’s the fucking point of VAR, like seriously

Fair play to them, the mix of runners from midfield with the ball in behind us is causing us big problems

Isak looking completely off the pace here

Would be a great signing for them and should push them on again next season

We’ll just win the Europa League next season and get the Champions League spot that way

Last season at home was the best I’ve ever seen us play for a long while. Those types of performances were every week as well and I really believed we’d go into this season and continue to destroy everyone at home.

Just thinking that this is the way Howe will want to go, not that I agree with it. For me, one of Hall and Livramento has to start next season

That’s how I see it. While Botman is out, Eddie will move Schar to the left and Tosin takes his position on the right. I think we’re looking at Burn starting on the left for the first game with Hall and Kelly on the bench

So many things can still happen and I’m glad we’re still in the mix going into the final week of the season. A lot rests on Arsenal getting a result tomorrow I feel. It would mean we’re still in a good position and could even afford to lose on Wednesday and Europe is still in our hands. And say both Chelsea and us lose, then again still in our hands for Europa

I always had this weekend as a Man Utd loss, Chelsea drawing and a win for us. I think it’s sorted if that happens

I wonder if Spurs would consider selling Richarlison. He’s not been the main man there since joining and I think he would be a great addition to our front three. Anymore remember how much he cost them from Everton?

Let’s win the next 3 then!

With a goal, yes

Glad we finally missed one when it doesn’t matter - 18 in a row has to end sometime
