First and foremost, Morato should never be allowed near that squad again, and should be offloaded in summer. please! As soon as I saw him warming up when I looked like Murillo was going off, I said I hope he doesn't come on; would prefer Toffs. He is a bloody liability.
Second, where did the ref get the time from? Absolute joke officiating again.
And VAR, if it takes that long to check, give the damned goal! Bet Darren England was pissed at not being able to rule out or goal.
Ok, onto the match. We looked like our old selves for the most part. MGW showing some brilliant touches (the odd hiccup though). Dominguez ran his socks off. Anderson did the same (some sloppy passes, but OK). Elanga and Aina did OK. M&M both solid. And Sels with some decent saves.
Then we come to the subs. I wish Nuno would give in making the subs with the whole intention of sitting in and defending. We were nearly caught out again, and it would not have been the first time. We went from being comfortable to being a nervous wreck. Was there really any need to make them so early?
We need a big win in the final game of the season, but stoked we are in Europe in some capacity. We've had a brilliant season, way surpassed expectations. But, what this season has shown is we really need a slightly bigger squad as I feel our core are running out of steam right at the death.
COYR! Let's shout the boys on in the final game like we've never done before!

No idea what you're getting at there Skegs, but I think you have posted on the wrong thread here mate!
As for empty bottles tonight for me. Yes there are - but not bottles of booze. Empty bottles/ containers of strong prescribed drugs which I've now weaned myself off. 3 weeks 'clean' now.
I'm thinking straight again at last after 5 years on that c**p.

Skegsjay:I speak my mind and call it as I see it. Your comments are enough to make me think about leaving this site. Not just you having a pop at my opinions, DTP has also been doing it too. Sad really, I enjoy the banter, but sometimes it does step over the mark.
