I love that feeling of optimism when a new (good) manager comes in and lifts everyones hopes. The same set of players that stagnate under bad coaching can all of a sudden become very accomplished and look like world beaters with a manager they believe in. Its a good project with a good squad & academy here Mauricio, I promise. Out of the blue club statement this week would be lovely with Poch already agreed. Cheers Nassef for stepping in and doing Purslows job for him

Dougie was my MOTM, thought he was controlled and excellent on the whole. Pleased for another clean sheet and 3 unbeaten, but it feels like another big missed opportunity to get the win. Buendia was class when he came on; the outside of the right foot passes out to the left, and his strike that so nearly nestled in the top corner; always looking busy as he does as a sub. Coutinho was decent today I thought, that leaning back off the ground volley would have been one hell of a moment but it just wasnt to be for us. Really frustrated with Ollie again today, ive never known a player to miss so often. Cameron Archer is worth a game or two. What a waste of a goalscorer. He would of bagged at least 2 today if he had the chances Watkins did.

How many times have we seen Ollie with those chances. He has so many games like that. Remember City away last day of the season. You can lift the ball if thats in your repertoire

Heart in mouth.

Lot of good that finishing coach was for braindead upfront

Ollie finishes one in every 78 chances

Ollie wow what a disasterclass

Id love it if our goal came with the last kick of the game and the Villa end erupts

Meslier is a wreck

So unlucky ffs

Koch up if we score amirite?

Evens for Buendia to put one on a plate for Ollie to put out for a goal kick.

The foul count is smoking

Bednarek has been good

Dougie time

What a feckin goal that would have been

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Can we please make it count

We have to take advantage of Meslier

4 shots on target 0 off target when was the last time we could say that. Gerrard’s on for a new deal

We should have scored by now, at least we’ve come into the game

Does Ollie ever finish those
