Surely time for Ansu Fati to step up tonight? Must be nailed on to start after sitting Sunday out.

How has this thread got this far without a mention of our greatest Easter Monday moment?!

West Ham being +17 is spinning me. A 10 point turn around seems really hard, however, they’re only +3 on us in the real league and still have Liverpool, City, Wolves and Chelsea to play.

A win tomorrow would definitely make it feel like the season is well and truly alive again. A loss would probably add to the feeling of it petering out with another defeat likely looming on Saturday.

Not really paid much attention to Palace, but I’m guessing that new manager hasn’t got them going yet.

I was reluctant to say it because it is undoubtedly harsh on Gilmour, but I really hope that his injury proves to be a blessing in disguise for us. I’ve said it before elsewhere but I’d be keen to try the Baleba Moder partnership (with Gross also in the XI orchestrating them) a few times in the...

Does no one ask about Milner?!

Well remembered, I completely forgot about Webster. Still don’t think they’d be classed as major players in the way that Pedro, Mitoma and March are, i.e essentially irreplaceable in the squad. Probably at the same level of the Enciso injury. Bloody annoying injuries but there was/is someone...

Shows our comparative luck over the two seasons. Last year it felt like none of our major players missed much due to injury. The only injury I can remember being properly gutted about was Ferguson missing the FA Cup semi final. Other than that maybe the spell where Veltman and Lamptey were...

Call them what they are, f***ing morons.

Cut the wheat from the chaff this one. Be good to be at an away game with only proper Brighton fans.

Terrific. Marquee signing who’s meant to be better then anything we’ve got, can’t even play ten minutes when chasing the game before he might play 90 minutes 3 days later. Waste of money.

Any idea why he didn’t come on today? Full rest in the international break and still can’t get a sniff, looking like money well spent.

Could be completely misreading that, but to me that comes across as him and TB agreed targets for this season, which we haven’t quite met (last 8 of a cup competition maybe?) or are going to struggle to meet (European football), and RDZ hasn’t had the tools to be able to do this: “Otherwise we...

Sigh. I hope there’s a review into what’s gone on with our injuries this year. Probably an element of bad luck but worth looking into given how many appear to have happened in training.

What did he say?

I’d swap Moder for Lallana and push Gross up/let him work out where the team needs him. Bring Lallana on if the game situation dictates it. Liverpool’s press is about as good as it gets, I’d be looking to go more direct and have Baleba and Moder on high alert to any transition situations.

Genuine tactical disasterclass. Kind of feel sorry for him cos the second should never have been a pen, but even still, Newcastle were carving them open. It was only a matter of time.

Moyes tactics in this last 20 minutes have been shocking.

My expectation for this game feels like the same kind of expectation I had when we played one of the big boys in our first couple of season in the Prem. Feels like we have very little hope in this one. A draw would be a fantastic result. A win would probably be our best ever result since...
