I'm not paid hundreds of thousands to miss penalties. At least I'd score.

To be honest, I don't think any of our players are paid to 'miss' penalties. Just sayin'.

Crying out for Foden.

Absolutely, terrible game management from Pep today. Players looked fucked all game and had little left in the tank at the end, so yes Foden and Sterling and a good case for Gundogan to come on and freshen it up never materialised. Only Pep knows the reasoning behind it though

I still want to see the VAR lines for Bowens first goal

Laporte kept Bowen onside and Zinchenco failed to follow him for both West Ham’s goals.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

On the whole I agree but I thought Grealish was ok, at least he was trying to be enterprising.

Dilithium crystals do have effect

A month or six weeks ago, being honest, I thought we would drop more than 2 points in the league and would lose it.
I firmly believe we will beat Villa now though and see this through.

If we do, I think this will be one of our best achievements yet, given the obvious deficiencies of our squad. To win it this season without a striker again and with so many injuries and an ageing Fern as our utility go to man, would be remarkable.

But we have to learn and see that there is so many areas we need to improve on.
Haaland will be huge (sic). I think he will occupy defences so much that he won’t just score for us, but will open up space for Jack and Phil and Bernie or whoever will be up front with him.
Personally, I’d like to see Kev play further forward, closer to him, as I think he would score for fun.
We need another midfielder to cover the hole Fern and Gundogan are going to leave.

And we have to cut down on letting in soft goals. Our stats are remarkable and yet when you look at the type of goals we concede when we do concede, we usually have contributed to our own downfall.
Hopefully Walker has a few years in him without slowing down, but overall we need more speed in our defence and midfield.

The future is bright. The future is blue. Just get this summer right.
And hopefully blood a couple more youngsters.

You seem to be putting words in my mouth pal

Read your post fella. Crikey.

If Pep does this again in our last game we will piss away the League. Underestimate Villa at your own peril.

Didn't we win a League Cup against the dippers on pens or did I dream it ;-)

& Chelsea

 

[lazerblue]

we can't play fern at the back next week, fantastic as he has been for us his legs have gone now

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

For a professional on that kind of miney his penalty taking is woeful... look at Kanes confidence v Mahrez...why persist...surely KDB should take them all from now on.

Kev's record is just as bad.

This Kane fella sounds good, we should try and sign him.
