Pissed off with the standard of officials we seem to be getting lately Ref is Salisbury who has only reffed 8 games only this season and the Var official is Alex Chilowicz who is an American soccer ref and only officiated league 1 and 2 games in this country Quite frankly the standard is shocking and we are getting them week in week out The referee appointments manager needs looking at Jonathan Moss (the Makem) is the appointments manager for premier league games
Yep, and I’d one of the regulars is injured in a weakened team, you would complain about that player being played. Heads Howe loses and tails you win.
Avoids the argument that those rested are rusty going into the Final and/or disrupting a settled team etc
Get through this game without injuries, and be in the best place to play Liverpool. Even if we lose to Liverpool, we have a good run of game after that for getting into Europe. I don't think this game is massive.
Every game is right now we don’t have many left. And we are not in the best position to just throw away 3 points. 3 points is massive at this stage of the season. I am quite surprised your thinking we should throw this for the final. I might be seeing this incorrectly.
No you've misunderstood, this is relating to your "If we are serious about top 6 or 5 we need to beat West Ham" comment. We easily have a chance of that despite the West Ham result, the idea that we need to make a statement against West Ham is ridiculous. It isn't throwing the game, it's just giving the team the best chance to win their first trophy for the first time since 1969
Going to this one so hoping its a worth while trip... In the home end though so probably wont be much fun either way
Need a win to get us back on track before Cup Final and build some momentum for last quarter of sPL season. Go with strongest team and hopefully build confidence. 3-1 to us.
