    You either need to abolish offside or have VaR. Officials just have to guess on tight ones and even get simple ones wrong

    Injured him for ages, then slagged him off for... something. Weird.

    Unfortunately a lot of the players aren’t up to standard.

    Kane, Son, Lloris, Hojbjerg are pretty much needed in every game at the moment

    Change the law to daylight, you would get the odd wrong one, like tonight, but you'd have many more goals.

    We don't really know if Kane is, in my opinion. Vinicius has barely had a chance, yet he's done well in most games he's started.
    I agree about the others, for the most part, but Hojbjerg doesn't even have any backup at all.

    Definitely us because of the Ramsey leg break and Wenger’s comments about Stoke’s brand of football <laugh> but safe to say they haven’t been missed.

    Unfortunately, they seem to be doing reasonably well in the Championship right now. I’m hoping that their promotion hopes get dashed as the season progresses...

    They ****ing hate us too, for some reason. Danny Rose got tons of abuse whenever we played them.
    It was hilarious when we repeatedly beat them by four goals under Mark Hughes. They grew to expect it.

    Vinicius doesn’t look bad but just the threat of Kane unsettles most teams, plus he can drop deep and help the midfield

    I think there’s a list of players he trusts to apply themselves properly and a list of players he thinks are good enough quality-wise. The issue is those who don’t fall into both categories, like Dele and Winks and Sissoko.

    Need an easy draw now, one of the Manchesters would be nice with a London derby in the final.

    3-1 FT. Conceded a stupid goal and were far from our best, but I'll happily take that.
    Into a semi-final and we gave some time to players who needed it.
    Winks had a good game, Lamela Lamela'd and Davies got himself a good goal.
