Using up a lot of luck in this game. But to win a cup, you need it.

Subs to shift momentum needed.

What the fuck was that from Dubravka? Could’ve just caught it.

What the fuck was that Joelinton? Nearly cost us. We need to stop being sloppy.

GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS

FFS Willock. Even that pass to Isak was shit and behind him. Such a poor player.

Had that 5 min wobble which we rode our luck, but otherwise been good. Solid, took our chance. Something to play with 2nd half as we look good on counter, just missing that final killer pass.

GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS

Dubs

Willock needs to be better, or I’ll be wanting Miley on.

That just showed how slow our defence is

Tino having a proper stinky 5 mins.

That was a genuine chance for Tonali.

New contract can only be logical if everyone has agreed (and are confident) that Pope will be sold in Summer.

Like I would love our identity to be as we move forward, the club that sings young English/British talent, instead of them being ready made. Mix that in with the established stars from abroad will be something you can get behind as a journey to the top.

Dibling and Trafford would make me wet. Team going further into a mixture of top young English talent and top prime European/Continental Talent. Lovely.

Peak Dubravka MOM performance like his debut all those years ago v Man Utd please. Sign out on a high.

Getting a pal in ready for Salah arrival in summer

Hopefully we've got their number on the corners. 11 last time and it didn't seem to trouble us, so hopefully same again. Because that is genuinely their threat with no Saka. Don't fear their attackers in open play.

If Sven Botman is potentially good on the RCB side, how about Murillo for LCB? Young, improving after his first season in Prem. Should be at a fee that's on the lower side compared to your named ones such as Guehi (like I'm guessing £40m+ could swing it). Feels with how we want our CBs to be aggressive, he's the perfect player. Then we could keep Schar for one season with a view of a younger CB coming in for RCB to challenge Botman long term. Kelly then succeeds Burn as the back up LCB further down the line.

It’ll average out across the season. Giving how open it is below, giving themselves a great chance of top 7 though. Like a 25 point 2nd half of season would give them Europe you feel.

When those three are the clubs linked, it doesn’t picture him well. All in a mess.

Rather we just get rid of players this window, bring in one (GK) and maybe a young player at CB or RW, and spend rest of time getting ground work done for the big deals in summer. So they can come in early, get full pre season and help us hit the ground running next season, especially if we’re in Europe.

Apparently Chelsea want a new CB this window Got Tosin, Diasi, Zouma and Badishille on the books who are deemed surplus to requirements. Must be what, £150m worth of transfers there and around £500k pw in wages. Best CB they have loaned out IMO.

I mean, they should've appointed him in the summer. Instead of wasting money and time on Lopetegui. Could be a good gig for Potter, but comes down to the summer. Pacqueta finally gets his ban, they sell Bowen to raise funds, it's suddenly a team down a couple of levels where many other players are in their 30s and fans gagging to boo early doors. Enough there to work with in short term to get the confidence going the right way.
