ttest I don’t remember our stands emptying that much.Fair play to West Ham. A fire drill in the home sections in the 78th minute. They really take health and safety seriously. ;-)
Big Dan Burn struggled to cope with Bowen at times but he gave his all as usual. It was nice to see Targett come on and get some minutes. I've been critical of ASM in recent weeks but he's starting to become more effective. He's playing really well and getting the assists now. Isak, Bruno and Trippier are just pure class. I can't believe it's the business end of the season and I'm actually enjoying watching us play and before kickoff, I'm actually expecting us to win. Surreal.

Really hope you get third
ASM always seemed to try and beat 5 players and score a wonder goal but how he is playing now is excellent, not so much of a luxury player
Seems to have more of a ‘team’ ethic this season. There have been times when you’re willing him to just get the ball over into the middle and were frustrated when he didn’t. From recent performances he now is doing that quicker and it’s reaping rewards.ASM always seemed to try and beat 5 players and score a wonder goal but how he is playing now is excellent, not so much of a luxury player
Maxi was one of our best players last night. He came back in and I thought he'd had a lobotomy as he couldn't pass, couldn't make the right decisions and was rightfully subbed. The last 2 games he has been excellent, and a big part of the win in both.
Hoping for a repeat against Brentford. Man Utd have a couple of matches against Everton and Forest which look winnable for them so we need to keep the momentum going.

Made hard work of that. Schade for them was standout, he exploited that left side every time Burn got himself up the pitch.
Our midfield couldn't link with the Isak first half, thought it was hard on Longy to go off as he was his usual hard working self but once we switched to 442, they couldn't handle the extra pressure. Wilson was excellent when he came on
Gordon played ok, he looked annoyed at being sub subbed but game management so suck it up. Guess he thought he was going to be a big money starter and he's still bench warming. Haven't seen anything from him yet which would suggest he takes one of the usual suspects places.

Villa away today lads, suspect it could be the toughest game we’ve had in a while.
They're playing well at the moment but they've been up against bottom half of the table pretty much all year. Every time theyve been up against a top half side they've lost (Spurs on NYD the last time they won against one). Fully expect Eddie to go in and steamroller them with high energy relentless pressing. Botman and Schar to keep Watkins quiet at the other end.
