beatty

Was offside. Annoying.

Hope there isn't a trademark late in the first half sucker punch for us.

Finishing has been dreadful.

Swansea are there for the taking. C'mon.

But we need players to guarantee our survival in the next 6 months.

To be mores specific: I think we could have rested a handful of really important players and still got the result today. I'm not talking about wanting us to have made wholesale changes, like we have done in previous years, but maybe left a couple more players out who are essential to our Premier League survival. Particularly Lascelles and maybe even Ayoze. It looks like hindsight talking with Lascelles having to go off as a precaution today, but I wasn't comfortable with him playing before kick-off. He seems like a guy who is going to suffer with injuries playing week in week out and probably needs a game or two off here and there. And he is so incredibly important to us staying up.

It is nice to have taken the cup much more seriously than in recent years, but I genuinely feel we needed to rest the key players today. Woodman being proper nervy is really disappointing.

Although... @https://twitter.com/lee_ryder/status/833807502819131392

He pointed to his left hammy when walking off. Not a good sign.

Only really get excited if we score 6 or more these days.

Think the latest article was a tipping point, it was only mild befuddlement before the comment about Carver guiding us to safety

Getting sick and tired of his pro-Carver bias.

These emo-Carver images are superb. Moar

Jones is dreadful

Really enjoyed this little twitter conversation, especially Thelonious Monk's concluding contribution.

I was genuinely disappointed that he didn't give Santon a few minutes

Well that goal doesn't happen without a piece of Oscar magic, so it wasn't that bad from our part. Just got cut open with good play.

O RLY?

Cabella's disallowed goal was lovely. Quick counter attacking interplay with a decisive finish. Been a while since we scored a goal like that.

Nah, think HBA had fallen out with a few players. Burnt bridges.

10 minutes until he is unveiled at Palace.

He inherits a squad far more suited to his brand of football. That plus the momentum a new manager brings will probably see them through this season. It's the long term they should worry about. Janmaat seemingly hates Pardew. Good.

Yep. No point reading that fantasy trash past the title.
