Hate to sound like Fred but if things stay as they are then I think that's it for Europe.

We can beat Spurs next week regardless of what happens in next 45 minutes.

Probably still then need 4 points from Liverpool and Brighton, that's a bigger ask given how flat it's gone in final third since Newcastle.

Hate the thing that most clubs do with wingers now - The whole right footer on left/left footer on right thing.

Stick a leftie on the left, and a righty on the right, then get to the byline and whip it in. Every time Traore get's the ball, he checks onto his left.. it's infuriating.

Amen to this. A pet peeve of mine too...

It’s obvious we have run out of gas. If we had had Cash Kamara available we would be in much better shape.

I thought we were the better team for most of that and we curtailed them after they had scored. We had some decent joy down the left with Ramsay and Moreno, just need better choices.

Watkins' header probably wasn't as easy as it looked as it was being contested by their defender, so he probably does well to get on it with some power.

I think we have more to give.

Also the handball rule makes no sense - I have no idea when it should be a pen and when not.

Unai needs to tell Watkins to play more centrally, too often he's caught out on the left as the ball comes in from the right. There's a big queue of players to reach it before him. A bit of heading practice wouldn't go amiss either.
Ramsey is turning intro El Ghazi, as threatening as a rubber kids knife.
Traore, sorry but it's not working. Maybe a 2nd half sub but no starter especially with the midfield getting bullied.
Emi B looks up for it but right now he's surrounded by idiots.

We are the better side but again giving the ball away too easily. Traore is so one footed, makes the same move every time and can't beat a player. Wolves are getting away with murder with this ref.

Wolves parking the bus but I'd bring on Duran to rough Dawson and Kilman up a bit

We can still some of them today and potentially all of them will be up to full speed by Brighton game.

Good thing last few weeks have shown is we can't do that trick of relying on 12-13 core players if we do actually make europe otherwise we'll be running on fumes by next March as textbook in the O'Neill seasons.

We need 4-5 solid options on the bench next season for every game even if we have a few injuries.

Comfortably the better side, but give away a soft goal & are wasteful when we get a chance.

Traore is not cut out for the Premier League. Buendia is such a frustrating player, does so much good but rarely gets the pass right.

They'll sit back & wait for us to make a mistake.

I am on about the last few weeks, although I doubt Kamara is any where near match fit.
