We simply have to improve our ability to control the game WITH the ball. We're just nowhere near good enough in that department.

Absolutely bizarre second half. Felt like we'd prepared all well to have a plan for transitions only so when Jackson went off we shit ourselves.

 

Ultimately, though, we find ways to get shit done.

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

We're lucky these are shite. Criminal they're so high up in the league.

 

Jackson not being in the pitch made absolutely no difference to them. He's terrible.

[Pata]

Horrific second half, no idea why every player was so nervous in possession. 

[Ed Vinegar]

It was a nervy one but such a massive win. Burn was great, Barnes a bit frustrating, Pope did well when called upon, pleased to find Miley's baby-face is made of bricks. 

 

Let's just beat Arsenal next and be relaxed whilst we're tonking Everton on the last day!

[Ketsbaia]

Take the 3 points now, ask (very deserved) questions later.

 

Even just that second goal's GD boost is lush.

 

Absolutely huge win.

We need a couple of better footballers. I’m sure we’ll acquire them in the summer.

We’re 3rd though, so we must be good at something at least.

[SUPERTOON]

All about the win, performance irrelevant at this stage. We all know where our weaknesses are, they will hopefully be addressed in the summer.

Enjoy it man.

 

Thank you brother. I always try and live in the moment.

[SUPERTOON]

Where the Gordon and Botman subs planned, or injury reoccurrence?

Forest all over again.

That and our end product. If we made better decisions on 25% of our chances we would have been pushing Liverpool for the league. 

 

Huge chance for us to wrap it up next week. If Arsenal win today they can take their foot off the pedal next week and if they lose they will likely be shakey.

 

Two big 90 mins ahead.

55% Chelsea possession is wild

They hate arsenal tho

We were coping the same last week when we were saying they hate Chelsea.

Neither were injured, as far as I could see.

That second half reminded me of the time Liverpool went to 10 men and we fell apart. 😂

 

Can be hard sometimes for 11 against 10. It's a 'thing' that has been shown plenty, in the past.

[PauloGeordio]

 

[Jonas]

The rear guard actions in the 2nd half will be useful battle testing for next week.

Don't really care about performances given the skewered circumstances in the 2nd half, they didn't coin 'its sometimes more difficult to play against ten men' just for us and they had nothing to lose by that point.

Think both must just be rusty, lacking match fitness.
