The trouble is the out ball to Kane and through ball to Son is our Kryptonite performed by two players very good at it. Teams which hit us on the break tend to prosper. We do better when we're the ones playing on the break. Which means we need a fit Broja, a firing Adams and Armstrong/Redmond carrying the ball forward well for us.

I've always appreciated Ralph's openness and humour. Can't help but think the possible retirement talk might make it harder for him to manage or recruit players as the clock ticks down into the final year. After all, why play for someone who is going to be gone soon.

And Manchester United fans won't. The 2-1 FA cup win in extra time is so hot right now.

He touched it in

Oh my life.

Our high line from free kicks near our box is giving me grey hair

Fank thuck for that

Oh, bollocks. I guess I'm all in with the Long-the-hero narrative then. FML

(past) Time to swap Adams for Long.

Without wishing to tempt fate, Caballero has a decent record at saving penalties. 34 faced, 11 saved

Broja is so good at rolling his defender

Just slow play in general. When we briefly stopped playing at walking pace we looked almost like a football team. Must be soul destroying make overlapping runs as a full back.

How is that not a foul on Broja?

It feels like he's trying not to lose the ball rather than being prepared to take on his man. Agree he used to just breeze past people. Haven't really seen him try to for a while.

It's like we've coached his desire to take on his man out of him.

And bringing Broja on straight after too. Can we have a game now, please

Beauty!

This. So very very much this.

Was that Long's first touch of the ball?

At least we're known for upping our game in the second half.

So often we have full backs on the overlap then we stop and go backwards. We look great when we trust ourselves to stretch play but pedestrian when we don't.
