Honestly this season is quite refreshing. The CL spots are wide open between like 6 teams (atleast) fighting for the last 3 spots. This is including teams like Forest, Bournemouth, Villa and us. Enjoy it while it lasts boys, might be the same old in the coming seasons..

Got Pereira on FPL. Please hold on Wolves.. I will lose tons of points if they concede now.

I suppose the ref will get death threats again.

Automatic CL qualification based on "historical performance".

Can't believe they're losing with Højlund and Ugarte in the lineup. Wild.

0 goals. My lord.

Teamtalk definetly called him to ask about it. He told them that he was very interested, and told them to "tell the world about it".

They're going to call it an "audition".. Like Arsenal fans did in the semi.

Did we expect them to not try to exploit that weakness? If we play him in a back 4 against any decent side, they can do the same. I think we can safely expect the opposition to at least have some knowledge about our players.

Yeah, hope we've been through it enough times for our nerves to be eased. Ofcourse those types of games are the hardest ones out there, regardless, so beating Liverpool will be very hard.

See my post above.

There's no team in the world that loses all the high pressure games. Generally we do well in several of those. But, some can't handle it when the pressure is too high. So far, it looks like we have a ceiling when it comes to that.

I'd say in terms of nerves, the difference between a semi final and a final is massive. Where do we draw the line? Is the carabao quarter final seen as a huge game if we haven't been in the semi final for a long time? The sort of "big games" that are talked about?

From that Leicester 0-0 game. The signs were there. On that occasion it was our players who started acting up, kind of like when Schär went on that solo run. I think we just lack the mentality in the most crucial games. I don't count a Carabao semifinal as "the most" crucial. Whether that's all on the players, or if it's also on Howe, is a bit hard to tell. We have some players who never thought they would even play in these kinds of games a few years ago.
