    We've done a good job over the years of taking each of the cups we're in seriously and generally do pretty well. The money the CL offers is too much to not take it seriously, but regardless of our current squad makeup, we have the depth to take all 3 seriously right now.

    Good news is, our CL campaign is on life support so realistically, we can focus on the two we ultimately control.

    Why does Lamp hate Americans and tall English blokes...some one had to be first:D:cautious:

    strong midfield, even with the break rewarding Ollie for his recent play, wonder if Mount or RLC will have the wider role or more diamondish

    Great. Tony ********ing Gale. Can’t stand him. Almost not worth the trade off of having football back. Almost.

    Given there is the option to switch off and on the fake crowd noise, I'd pay for an upgraded service that lets me turn off and on the 'expert's commentary.

    I thought water breaks was just for the players. League really taking hydration seriously.

    One way traffic with plenty of quality on the bench.

    Have to watch out for the counter...

    Same story as where we left off. All over the opposition but vulnerable to conceding the second they attack.

    Dave was ruined for pace there.

    When you are susceptible to a counter you have to have full backs who can cover back quickly and we don't on either flank right now.

    FFS Marcos, so much space to have a shot, why dither and cut back. Annoying from a veteran player.

    Kepa given no help there. 4 villa players could have gotten to that rebound before a single defender.

    great job by mount there. had him marked but ran away from him and the ball looking to take it the other way on the counter. had not scored mount could've been off to the races.

    Kepa could always try catching the ball. I hear some goal keepers do that.

    So 3 1/2 months down the line and NOTHING changes! Just how much 'on top' do we have to be to actually win a game! If 80% possession and outshooting teams 10 to 1isnt enough then I really don't know what to say!
