Can't believe we comfortably beat a team with Højlund and Ugarte in their lineup!

Howe needs to fight his way back in after that performance. Maybe Tindall will get a run of games even.

Barnes - Isak - Murphy is peak efficiency.

Indeed! Barnes allways had it in him. We allways talk about run of games, but there is so much to it. We see it so often where a player is in for a run of games and hits a much higher form than what we've seen from said player.

I hope Gordon is having a good look at what he is competing against.

True, but the will only need around 5 points from 4 if they win those 2.

Just like they have 2 games left to play against bottom 4.

Why did they take Mateta off? Must be injured, or? I still don't understand that.

Right, didn't see that. There might be hope for Everton to manage a draw at Goodison..

Guehi getting sent off last weekend was so annoying..

City are still beating the lower half teams consistenly. In 2025 they've won every game against bottom 10 except a draw at Old Trafford. They'll beat Wolves, Soton and Everton for sure. Atleast one of the other ones aswell. Should be enough for them.

PSG sold their best player and became a better team. Yes, I'm talking about Ugarte ofcourse.

I think the missed chances will cost them. They have a huge home advantage up there in the cold climate playing on artificial grass. The second leg will be very tough.

It's atleast really nice to have someone who you can rely on regardless of what side you need him to play. Not many fullbacks can play on the other side and have it look like that's their preferred position. It indirectly improves the squad depth in a way.

Pretty sure we're not going to have this discussion next season, after he has gone back to RB and finds similar or even better form there. It's just one of those coincidences that leads us to anchoring bias imo. As someone said it's probably more about form and confidence, and not necessarily the position.

Frustrating how we wasted the best years of some of these players. Wilson, Murphy, Schär etc. They reached their full potensial pretty late in their carreers. I wonder how many more Murphys there are in the PL who are being held back by shit team mates and poor coaching.

Was looking to see what you had on him from the past. You've clearly allways been a fan, and you've backed him all the way. Fair play. I totally get why people had doubts, though.

Exactly. We've learned from last season. Winning 7-0 is fun, but sometimes it's not worth sacrificing a bunch of energy and potensially injuries for it.

Really hope this isn't going to be one of those that everyone expects a win from, but then we concede a cheap goal early on, and all of a sudden they have some belief.. Please don't do that.

That's kind of like spending £40m on a midfielder thinking he's a striker.

Tino and Mbeumo?

Will be huge for us next season. Calling it.

Rodri probably played too many games, but mosy of their key players dropped off due to age. It created a domino effect on the rest of the players. Their singings has been meh aswell.

Feels like most of those fixture lists are pretty equal. Forest and Man City probably the easiest. Chelsea the worst one maybe, but it's not that bad. Ours is about as tough as Chelseas, but we also have a few pretty easy ones on paper, and obviously we have 2 games in hand. Currently I think we are a better team than Chelsea anyways.
