Not sure. Fass hasnt exactly set the world alight this season

At home? So what do we take in the away leg?

I dont know if theres any truth in Knapper wanting his own man or if theres any truth in Cuesta,but this might be the only chance for a change. Arteta learnt under Pep, and look at Arsenal.these last two seasons. Cuesta has lewrnt under Arteta. An up and coming manager, higly rated and developed under the best. IF we get up i fear a season in EPL. Its been a great achievement getting to the playoffs but imo this summer might be that once in a chance window of opportunity to get Cuesta before he goes onto bigger things IF theres any truth in the rumours) Either that or Wagner will be here nest season 😆

Nope, not at 4-0 down. This is the first time utd have conceded 81 goals in a season since 1976-77. Bye bye Ten Hag

Seriously. What about bristol c and swansea. Were they both "lets jog around and make sure we leave unscathed" games also. Do u really think thats what Wagner told them.in the dressing room before kick off today.

Im concerned weve struggled in two home games against bristol c and Swansea. These were games we were supposed to be motivated in to seal our playoff place and get over the finishing line. We didnt.Today weve lost to a relegated side when again the motivation should have been there. We've secured our playoff due to other results. If we couldn't get motivated in these three games, how will Wagner get them motivated in a playoff game. Thankfully form doesn't count for much now

What he did at this club, and what hes doing for charity are two completely different things

It goes without saying, or to put it a other way, i didnt state the obvious that weve ammassed enough points from results to put us 5th, because that is obvious. At no point did i say were only in 5th because 20 odd teams have been worse. I said we're in 5th currently and as a result of others performing worse e.g. wba Everyone around us, including Leicester have had real wobbly spells,.which is natural. Weve had an i incredible 2nd have of the season, but yet even with Bristol C and Swansea we havent been able.to finish the job off, and thats why its been a weird season. For every great result (wba, preston away, ipswich) weve then not followed it up with strong performanes. We are where we are, i like.others couldnt have imagined we'd make the playoffs so all credit to wagner, knapper and the players. Bizarre and freaky results aside in the last week we're in the playoffs and have that 1 in 4 chance now of reaching the promised land. Its still been a weird season

We've had lengthy injuries to Sainz, Sarg and Rowe, yet all have done fantastically well and Sarg, Sara n Rowe have 12+ goals.each. Sainz has scored some beauties Weve had a dire spell where literally any other club would have sacked their manager based on performances. Little old.Norwich stuck with Wagner. We finally got rid of Webber after the longest of departures, and i cant tell if its Knappers arrival, the return of player or somohow Wagner that.has seen our upturn in results 2nd half of the season. And we're mathmatically in the playoffs without playing well, and yet now in 5th because of other teams performing worse. I cant see.us winning the playoffs yet its the sort of season where we'll do just that. And after all this there's something in me that still can't get behind Wagner totally

And Fulham also shipped 6 past us on the final day as well. It's squeaky bum time. Brum will be right up for it. I don't think it's done and dusted by a long shot, with our away form!

Will be interesting as none of the 4 teams occupying the playoffs are going into those games in good form.

For me it depends whether there were or are any truth in Knapper going back for Cuesta. Its that once opportunity to get someone in for their 1st managerial appointment before/if they go onto bigger things. End of season presents that opportunity if CC wants to leave Arsenal to try his own path

Compared to Wagner who refuses to make a sub!

You must be one of the very few to use the words "clearly" offside, even after review 😅

I don't mind EPL and major Euro leagues having VAR. They are welcome to it. Let the big boys battle it out. But imo VAR has destroyed the spirit of the FA Cup, where the minnows get to take on the giants in a 90min game. It's grass roots football verses the mega millions. Where lower leagues never get to expereince VAR, then it should be played in a neutral way, by that I mean without the technology, and just the officials officiating. That's what makes the FA Cup special.That's what minnows and lower league teams are used to. Where technology made a decision about mere millimeters, in less than a split decision, in the final minute of extra time destroyed the magic and spirit of the FA Cup yesterday. If it was left to the officials neither the linesman or the Ref flagged/blew for offside, and thus technology ruined one of the most deserved and greatest comebacks ever known in the Cup's history.

Not really. We can't judge Knapper on a solitary signing that the manager simply won't give any game time. Equally for every Buendia or Sainz, Webber brought in some right duffers (Forshaw springs to mind) and Sarg looked pretty awful when he arrived but has developed really well. SVH might come good, in time, and if played, but then again he might disappear quickly to another club come the summer. Wagner may or may not stay, and Knapper may or may not seal some real gems. It's been a strange season, and I'm looking forward to how the summer unravels, Knappers first real window for us

I feel that if its that.close in a decison that even VAR couldnt tell if it was millimetres, and from that distance and angle it cant, then it shouldnt be given

If ever a team didnt deserve to win that was it. Im routing for blue in the final.and hoping Peps team will.stuff them

VAR ruins football yet again

It doesnt add up. If he's looking unfit or not up.to standard Wagner wouldnt put him on the bench. Seems childish to agree to put him on the bench and not play him, but thats Wagners perogative. Maybe all is not well behind the scenes between K and W, but citys good results and holding onto that playoff position mean W is still in the hot seat. Then again we have a paper thin squad

SVH can't score if he's not on the pitch 🤣

I thought Sara was already playing in an advanced position

Why when we need to go for the win does Wagner takes off Barnes and puts on a midfielder, not SVH. He absolutely will not play him.

Leeds and Leicester doing their utmost not to get promoted!

Well he's said in today's presser SVH has impressed in training, so it's even more mind boggling why he's not given him more minutes. But then DW says the performances are all great, when we all think otherwise, so who knows. With Sarg looking doubtful for Preston, if he doesn't get on it will be ridiculous
