Also weird that the ball is allowed to drop down that low right in front of goal. Poor defending all around.

We played alright, lack of quality on top and at the back makes it an overall so so performance though. Having the energy to get through a two-legged semis against the squads of City and Arsenal was always going to be a near impossible task. "Defending champions" or not, we never had any business competing in the league cup in a CL season.

Think it benefits more clubs with smaller squads who are going far in the cups myself.

Why is Trippier on? Have to have some kids who can do a better job?

Especially with our schedule and injuries.

Yeah, rather we lost by a few more lol. Hopeless anyways.

Looking at if he impacted the play.

No idea either. It was a silly rule anyways.

What a save.

Wissa wasn't offside and it was a poor ball from Murphy tbh.

Sure, just a general rule. Always room for expections. It's not really an arbitrary age though.

Dont think we should get rid, just thought it was as major overexagguration thinking he got mimimum 2 years left at this level. Generally I think we should move on from players before they turn 35. So he got one more season for me.

We have given extencions (shorter ofc) to both Krafth and Lascelles, so we know for sure that the medical staff aren't the second coming of Nostradamus. So I think it's just fair that some of us are a bit sceptical about this. But as I said previous, hopefully it will work out. Not ruling that out at all.

Mimimum 2 years? Just look at Trippier now compared to two years ago. Things can change fast at that age. If anything it's maximum two years considering how slow he already is.

Yeah people being a little hesitant to give a long term contract to a guy that has had 4 different lenghty injuries in two years sure are weird. I know he was fantastic for us when he first arrived, but so was Willock once upon a time. Injuries fuck up a lot of careers sadly.

Hopefully will work out, but can't deny I'm a bit sceptical. Assuming he is not taking a pay cut.

Christ. Thats two games every week aswell right? Going to be interesting to see how we cope with that.

Don't think he is particulary injury prone either. Played 37/38 PL games last season. Just missed a couple the season before. Just played way too much last year.

Fantastic player that we clearly don't get everything out of. A pre-season with more time to work with Eddie hopefully will do wonders.

Proper celebrated that even if im not sure how we ever can compete in another competition with what remains of our squad 😅

Did Ramsdale go the right way on every pen?

Just like Bruno's last pen, just this time the keeper went the right way.

I see why Wolte isn't on pens.

Fantastic on pens though.

Not sure if we need a CM anymore if Miley don't have to play in the other positions.
