Pretty sure that LCFC taught Kane everything he knows when he was on loan on the bench.

Great save by Lloris

Is Koeman sacked?

are Liverpool playing with 10 men? Was someone sent off or beamed up and I didn't see it happen?

This has been coming for a while. We've been better than Liverpool for years but have been unable to beat them, so this feels good.

I think Klopp's days are numbered tbh

That's just Moreno

Great win for Spurs. They’ve had our number like no other team in recent years.

Koeman sacked at Everton.

There were some rumours in the papers about Moyes maybe coming back which would be quite baffling to say the least.

Did a good job at Southampton last season.
Seems like a decent choice.

Btw, what a game at Wembley!

Disappointing to lose a lead to West Ham but the team didn't look arsed at all, barely broke out from a jog

I would be properly annoyed if this had happened in the league, but it wouldn't have

I was giving that very same point consideration myself as i watched the last bit of the match. There is a hint of a structural deficiency here but even if we overlook the collapse due to the circumstances, i am still bothered by our efforts at finding a goal late in games. All we do is keep pumping balls into the area with no creative plan at all, and it's doubly annoying to see it happen after our target man is taken off.

Having said that, i am quite pleased to be out of the competition.

And on a side note, i think it's safe to conclude at this point that N'Koudou won't come good.

I think the game just meant a lot more to the West Ham players, especially with Bilic's job on the line. Looking at the way we conceded, the first two were scruffy tap-ins, but they were all pretty easily preventable and screamed complacency/lack of effort. Poch was even laughing with Bilic after the final whistle. Not to mention, we go 3-2 down and he brings Dembele on for our only established striker? :crazy:

And yeah, taking off Llorente and THEN pumping balls into the box? Strange game.

What happened? It was 2:0, and then I checked again and it was 2:3

sovietchild · Post #358 » by **sovietchild** » Wed Oct 25, 2017 9:28 pm

I think I know what happened. West Ham united played at home :wink:

I'm not upset but i am properly annoyed. All 3 were lack of effort type goals we rarely see. We were cruising.

West Ham will get rocked next round because they won their cup final.

It was nice to have a game were some of the guys who have been out can get acclimated (like Rose) however. They just treated it like a practice session. Eases the cluster of games we have so whatever.
