All the shit Hugo got a few weeks ago. That is why he is our Number 1....!

The fans need to respect him, as he may have cost us against City but lets be honest we were not beating them, without him tonight, we draw or lose...!

What was the shit, people just making a comment that he has made errors that had cost us? The commentators also mentioned at the start of the game, his errors could have been why deciding on Vorm for the FA cup could have been justified, so 'all the shit' continued. He was in the right place yesterday for the shots that were mainly at or close to him, for that I am grateful. I am grateful we have him and I hope he is rediscovering his form from a year or so ago.

You can guarantee that Leicester will turn up against us, they always do. I've no worries we'll beat WBA and Newcastle.

Can't quite put my finger on what's gone on, maybe the media scrutiny is getting a bit much, the uncertainty surrounding Poch and his garbled interviews when asked about leaving. Somethings clearly got into the players heads. Need to get this season done and dusted.

Thought the ref was poor last night though, has to be said.
Leicester didn't turn up last year either, we beat them 6-1 i think.

Quick mention about the refereeing. Not sure who was worse him or us. I didn’t see the penalty shouts from my seat. I’ve maintained since the Liverpool game that we won’t get another one all season and that’s still looking likely. How bad were the decisions?

His all round officiating was poor though and I usually think he’s one of the better ones.

They're weren't cast iron to me and could be interpreted differently depending on the referee. Commentators said the Son one would have been soft if it were given.

Apart from one instance where he clearly should have let Dele play on after he was being scythed down by 2 or 3 players, I don't think the referee got much wrong. No major calls anyway.

Special mention to Hugo after last night was dropped for the semi-final but pulled off some smart saves they may well have seen us struggle on another night.:happy:

He wasn’t actually dropped - Poch decided to stick with Vorm as his domestic cup keeper, having played in every other league/fa cup game.

And his recent errors haven’t really been a shot-stopping problem; like most keepers his mistakes have been judgemental. Like charging off his line unnecessarily (imo he got away with one last night when Jan had the guy covered).

special shout to Troy ’we hope its chips its chips’ Deeney, after coming on with 20 minutes left and running about for 30 seconds he could be seen asking the ref how long was left.

He looks like a bouncer from one of those pubs where the strippers collect pound coins in a pint glass.

fair play to him though hes obviously been working hard, last season he had to sit out a run of games due to ’exhaustion’..

No we don't need to win both our home games.
Yes your right. I guess Chelski’s max point finish is 75 points! So we need 4 more points so a win and a draw will do it.
I really don’t think we will get anything at West Bromwich ( not the form they are in lately and the way we have been playing lately) so we would need a win and a draw at home not two wins sorry.
Of course if Liverpool were to win or draw on Saturday that changes again.
So yes we are definitely in the driving seat. But Not so long ago we were 10 points clear and everyone said it was all over. Now that’s only 2 points, so it’s not over until the fat lady sings - or Liverpool beat Chelski and we win more game?

Strange but I too am very,very nervous about the WBA game....I'm just glad it isn't the last match of the season for us and we need the win to stay in top four.Let's get it out of the way and hopefully pick up the three points we need to virtually clinch CPL.....(y)

On paper, it should be set up well for our type of counter-attacking game. They absolutely have to win. I would like to see Moura get a start for this one to see if we can use his pace on the break from the start rather than risk going behind when they would , no doubt, revert to defending in numbers. I know, however, that this won't happen( Moura starting) ! It wouldn't fancy our chances if they got in front somehow.

The same West Brom that are bottom of the league, and have 43 points fewer than us? That West Brom? Are you microdosing?

Didn't we beat Leicester 6-1 last year
To me past seasons go out the window. Newcastle also beat us 5-1 as a nothing to play for relegated team ( bit like WBA this year:)
It goes on current form, so what can I say none of us are

I agree, WBA has pulled off some impressive results recently against United and Liverpool and we will need a much better performance to get all 3 points.
Anybody think Poch will rotate the fullbacks against WBA?
I believe we should start Trippier and Davies again and let Aurier and Rose play the Newcastle match, which will leave Trippier and Davies available for the Leicester match.

Yes the same West Bromwich that in there last 3 games beat Man Utd and Newcastle away from home a got a draw with Liverpool. That kind of form is what we are up against. And to make it worse this is probably there last home game in the premier league. Not easy win your suggesting really is it?
