Leo No.8

Saves the first goal absolutely no question. I get needing to keep your number two happy normally, but having already effectively told Kelleher that he’s gone by signing his replacement, just play the best keeper in the world in the cup final.

He really doesn’t trust his squad players, and that means FSG putting their hand in their pocket this summer and backing him in a big way. The squad needs a lot of strengthening and reshaping, so that the manager is comfortable rotating and resting his players. Need RB competition for Bradley (injury prone) if TAA leaves, LB competition for Robbo (who doesn’t look anywhere near the player he was), a CB, CM and two forwards. Should be able to get a fair bit recouped in fees from the likes of Nunez and Tsimikas.

The memory of that shot is the final cherry on top of the turd cake that was today.

Diaz has gone back to huffing and puffing a lot but lacking end product. Thought he’d moved on.

Agrees, he is also crap. You’d give Chiesa a go up there rather than either of them. Think he’s played there a fair bit? Least he brings energy and is a half decent footballer.

Quansah did ok but he just isn’t a FB. Definitely not in a team wanting to pass the ball out from the back.

No idea what Slot has seen in Jota’s performances since about week 3 of the season to be starting him whenever he’s fit. So weak, gets bullied, sloppy, slow. Offering absolutely nothing at all, like playing with ten. Tired of him and his injuries, would be selling him.

This train home is so depressing.

That linesman was dodgy af. There were ar least two miles off offsides he didn’t give vs them in the first half, then he gives the Chiesa one which was miles on. Can’t see how there isn’t any bias at work there.

Yeah he’s gone. Hope he has the international break off as he really needs it.

Yes it was dead weird. Bit worrying TBH. We played the short to Kelleher then he lumped it to where their big bruisers would win it every time. Feels like we’ve lost some confidence playing it out.

Jota like playing with ten.

In the ground but that header was from miles out, feels like Ali would have got it easily.

Yeah I like Jarell but Branthwaite is defo further along than him. Tuchel might be a disaster as England manager.

If Alisson was in goal against Atletico and not Adrian we’d have won comfortably. We were actually superb against a very awkward side, just very unlucky and had an inanimate carbon rod in nets.
