Everyone said winning silverware by hook or by crook was the key to developing that killer mentality. It seems to have made us worse!

Yeah, that's the other side of the coin. I think we're about par points wise for how we've played and perhaps fortunate that the nature of this season means that we aren't already further behind the top 5

And if they'd put away a disgraceful West Ham team when they had a 1-0 lead they'd be fourth. A point against arsenal and a point off Liverpool and we'd be four points off the top.

We'll see, not impossible if we go on a good run but tricky.

It was the right thing to do vs Haaland at the weekend for that early chance but there were no covering defenders and he was central and closer, think that was in his head when he saw Auba through. Give Ramsdale the gloves for Everton.

Maybe, but I can't see Eddie rewarding Barnes' performance against city by dropping him for the Champions League. Gordon will come on at some point and get his chance for 20 or 30mins

I'd keep Barnes on the left and Murphy on the right, Gordon on the bench.

Cheeky loan bid for that fella at Liverpool...? People saying he's shit but I think there's a player in there Howe could unlock. Wages might be an issue though...

With the Barnes open goal chance as well as two of big nicks 3, Murphy could easily have had an assist hattrick of ridiculous quality

It wasn't like he was unplayable in the cup final either, he took his chance very well but other than that he wasn't really in the game. I guess strikers can be like that though...
