Ha!! It's like a drunken voice note from a crazy bloke who doesn't accept he's pissed and lost the plot.

I see what you did there. Good work. I'll give it a go. If I remember.

He did, but there are some posters who would still criticise the lad if he scored 4 and helped us keep a clean sheet. Play the performance, not the player.

Yep. He had a good game. The tactics of leaving Leo high up the pitch for the wide out ball left him with at least 2 on 1. As a full back in that situation, you can't get tight to a man, and have to watch the Man plus runners. It's not an easy role and he did well.

AI interpretation... While the rules do state that yellow cards are wiped clean after the quarter-finals to prevent players from missing the final due to accumulated cards, this "amnesty" applies after the quarter-final is finished. Any pending suspensions, or suspensions earned during the quarter-final, must still be served.

To be fair, a few players didn't turn up either. Lemina's lack of effort will live long in the memory.

Agree with that, especially re Azaz who played a really important role.

There were loads empty around me.

Wow. Just wow. We were down and out before Tonda. Done. Finished. The turnaround has been massive. Players properly coached, fitter, motivated, organised. Fecking brilliant.

Bloody naive from Fellows there. Run it into the corner. Lucky to get away with it.

6 mins. Utter bollox.

Oh. My. Fecking. Days. Get in.

Nobody offering for the ball there for Bragg. Players need to do better than that.

Manning did well again there.

You're a ray of sunshine.

Ha! The issue was the full backs - no RB for along while. Bree coming back was massive for our season.

Yep. I like the lad. He's great on the American show.

Yep. Now the weather FFS...Meeks having none of it. Good lad.

Agreed. Although the goal came from Leo not staying high and drifting back to steal the ball, then Bree getting forward. The players look really well drilled and know exactly why they're doing.

Oohhh yes. Very fecking nice.

Decent there from Manning. And very much a 433 against the ball.

I missed him somehow! Jander and Bragg don't fill me with hope. I'd liked to see Charles in there.

We only have Romeu as an option. O wouldn't start him, and if we did, there's no midfield option on the bench. As for the rest of the team, I wouldn't have started Leo. Edit: I missed Charles on the bench!
