I take we scored come on you bloody tortoise of a stream!!

FFS I need to decide if I'm watching my slow stream or following the game here and getting incensed at things before they happen.

Getting Lascelles on is one way of turning the tables in your favor. Dirty little pricks.

I know we've been hammered a couple of times against the big sides but in general it's so refreshing to see us press and play some confident football.

Richarlison like that from Saka.

Aye you can see a sucker punch coming in the second half if we don't score.

How many corners is that so far? Haven't really gotten close to scoring from one.

Class performance so far, just lacking end product. Arsenal dont seem that interested in finishing 4th.

Watching him 'play' is what I'm dreading, not the result.

Longstaff, know we don't have many choices right now but

Enough of this quadruple talk, I'm with Chelsea for the penalties as they handover their sportswashing mantle to us with a flourish.

Jenas eh Rather watch it on mute tbh

Can't say there's many I enjoy listening to these days. Drury is one, manages to get some excitement going at least.

When is Martin Tyler retiring exactly? You can tell how clever he thinks he is with his puns and word play etc but it's just tedious as hell.

How miserable do some of the fans look, I get there's tension but you're in a cup final ffs have some fun.

Saudi United. Stunning word play that, from a guy who writes for a living.

Still love the fact journos and politicians from countries that have caused immeasurable pain and conflict around the world get to judge the Saudis. I'll be getting the shirt and maybe ordering this for good measure:

Is that official? Wummery of the highest order if so

I think that about Bruno too but he does like to drop deep to link play. I take the point if someone like Philips were to do that it frees him up a bit. Aye the mind does bend at the possibilities of madness like squad depth Get Paqueta in as well as Philips and a couple of wingers. The heck am I thinking we need to have a ranked list or something.

Going by Howe's comments on how he'd like us to play in the future my guess is we'll look for a more attack minded midfielder to replace Shelvey. --------------Joelinton---------Bruno------ --Fraser upgrade----------Shelvey upgrade(Paqueta?)--------ASM upgrade---- As opposed to something like: --------Joelinton------Bruno------Philips --Fraser upgrade------------------ASM upgrade---- Wow can't remember the last time I drew one of these formations here..

Harsh on big Joe like. I'd rather we spent that money on replacing ASM if you have someone of Nunez's finishing quality upfront. Not that Philips wouldn't be a good signing, just think that position might be a lower priority.

How does he fit in alongside Bruno and Joelinton? Or are we moving Joe along. Don't see Howe playing him in an advanced position permanently next season.

Absolutely, plus that will mean we've signed a top class defender, midfielder and forward since the takeover with the summer only just starting. A spine to build a team across.

Looks like they were just waiting for mathematical safety
