Happy for the squad. The first half was horrendous. Subs played well. I hope this gives us momentum for the FA Cup final. Not enough momentum for Ten Hag to stay though
Yeap, agree. They should win.. but it is cup final, so there's a glimmer of a hope in my heartIn a cup final everything can happen, but I think there's a 10% chance we will win the FA Cup. City are lightyears ahead of us.
They're amazing.Away fans are top draw.
That is actually quite impressive considering the state of our back line all season. You'd hope our defence would improve quite considerably next year, but we'll need to invest to get that attack up.We managed to preserve our negative goal difference. We conceded fewer goals than Villa, Spurs, Chelsea and Newcastle. We need to figure out how to add another 20+ league goals to our total next season.
That Fulham defeat irks me3 More wins and would have qualified for the champions league, 14 loss
Yup. He's very limited. Nice to have another defensive body in midfield, but he's very prone to making mistakes due to his slowness. He also doesn't scan his surrounding enough, always getting dispossessed. He needs an extra touch to control the ball as well.What's for sure is that Amrabat is not good enough.
Never seen a player so absolutely unaware of his surroundings. Decision making seems to take him ages and that’s not what you get in the PL.What's for sure is that Amrabat is not good enough.
Certainly more similar to the last two games, even if we still conceded too many unnecessary chances.I didn't watch the game. Did we play with our usual suicide system? Or did we fall back to a pragmatic approach similar to our last 2 or 3 games?
No way Brighton's xG was that high...Tweet

It surprises me too that it's so high.No way Brighton's xG was that high...
Really? I thought it would've been higher. They squandered some easy chances in the first half.No way Brighton's xG was that high...
It depends on what xG model you use. It's 1.55 according to a different one.No way Brighton's xG was that high...
Yeah, felt like they dominated us first half and could easily be 3-0.Really? I thought it would've been higher. They squandered some easy chances in the first half.
Lucky bastard... 1st half was really abysmal. Brighton were so much better than us but weren't able to score. At some point I know, we'll probably win another game where opposition isn't able to get the ball over the line.Only watched 2nd half (from time to time, combining with few other games) and it looked decent. 60 points in the end so better than 58 in 21/22, but now with -1 GD and in 8th place.
Thankfully league is over. Cup final game left to try vs City at least.
Yeah basically everyone saying we were rubbish in first half which is justanother warning sign. People would rather take 2-0 loss today if we played some good football but it's not happening and hasn't for whole season.Lucky bastard... 1st half was really abysmal.

I am very happy for Hojlund, he did well and made a big difference today. How McTominay stayed on the pitch for 90 minutes I'll never understand. Also well done to Dalot, I thought he was playing well today nothing extraordinary but disciplined and took his goal well enough.
I think in the days of 3 subs only we would probably not risk starting both, but as we will have the option of 5 subs I think he'll go with it. Even having to sub both of them will leave enough sub opportunities.Completely outplayed in the first half (from what the Sky extended highlights showed) but at least defended properly. We looked better with Licha there of course and I do wonder if ETH will risk him and Varane to start the cup final.
Not many other bright points although two good finishes and again Rasmus shows what he can do when we actually give him a half-decent ball. I think he also got a touch to play in Dalot for the first
Lucky guy, didn't watch the 1st half. I can't recall a single game of 90+ minutes of decent football, always a highlight game throughout the entire season.Only watched 2nd half (from time to time, combining with few other games) and it looked decent. 60 points in the end so better than 58 in 21/22, but now with -1 GD and in 8th place.

ETH would have been smart to play a 4-2-3-1 since January with the 2 DMs told to stay home and rarely venture forward. We would have reduced the shots on goal and maybe have won a few 1-0 matches. If so, we would be in the EL pretty easily and had an outside chance for CL. Instead, I think he played something like aHave we played with a different formation the last 2 games? I'll be glad to see the back of that 4-2-3-1 crap we've suffered through the last 3 or 4 managers.
