All in all, we should be in Europe next season unless something drastic happens. No. That spot in the Europa Conference League would be given to the next highest Premier League finisher. https://www.90min.com/posts/do-the-carabao-cup-winners-qualify-for-european-football#:~:text=Do the Carabao Cup winners qualify for Europe%3F,Europa Conference League qualifying round.

woody Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I love how sadly happy Bruno looks in the team photo. Basically a "I did good, then I goofed and I'm sorry" look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Mental game that like The first half an hour was the best we've played all season. We were so fucking on it. So intense. Didn't give the poor cunts a moment's peace. Went a bit ropey after their goal. Second half we were fucking awful But limited them to just one chance and had to squeak it out. Bruno's red a big blow for the league. A game of extremes tonight. Delighted for Longstaff, delighted for Howe, the staff, the players. But most of all delighted for fans who finally have something to shout about after a desperately depressing decade and a half. A huge day looms large and Howe won't be interested in anything but a win. These occasions were stolen from us and now they're back at last. Howay the lads, we can do this.

alexf Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 So chuffed to be in the final. We seemed to get really nervy as soon as we conceded a goal. Must be a shock for this team to lose a goal and then 2nd half we never got going. Bit worrying if the nerves get to the lads in the final. Some of that Man U team have got alot of finals experience. The Bruno thing put abit of a dampener on it, first of all cus I thought he was out of the final but then that he is missing 3 league games, which I would probably still take over him missing the final but still a kick to the nads. Well done though boys. Fingers crossed for the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Thought Jones' selection and starting tactics were fucking awful (5-3-2 is the worst formation going), but he reacted really well with his changes and almost pulled them back into it. I'd be surprised if they went down, because despite looking like your nextdoor neighbour he seems properly switched on and the players are clearly buying into his methods. His style is mad, though, proper balls to the wall given their circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Whole game changed due to Willock's miss pass. Think we would have won by 4 or 5 until they scored as a direct result. From that moment the pressing which was destroying Southampton suddenly stopped and we started giving them time on the ball. Apart from the Armstrong chance they didn't really create anything though. Deserved win overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember in no circumstances pass to Ward-Prowse around the box. James, stand in the busiest areas at all times so no one is tempted to pass to you. Proper tidy.

He'll have plenty of suitors but think Lavia would be good in our midfield Their first half tactics were pretty abysmal I thought and that Lyanco and their new Argie were dreadful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
