    I'm really enjoying how wound up their fans are over Morelos' disallowed goal when he fouled Johnston yesterday. Morelos did the exact same shove on Mooy in the League Cup final to give himself the space to score, but he got away with it there because Mooy didn't go down.

    Wouldn't surprise me if our players were made aware of the shove into Mooy's back in the league cup final and told to go down if they felt contact, because that's the only way it's going to be given. It's a foul either way, but going down means the ref can't ignore it.

    Think it was a case of Tavpen lingering over on the left and nobody picked him up. Think at that point we had brought on Oh and Haksa, for Jota and O’Riley. It unbalanced us with Haksa in midfield which I thought contributed to the goal, and it wasn’t until Kyogo went off for Turnbull did we get the balance right again.

    Too good, him and CCV on one side of defence is probably the best we've had I can remember. Two of them near unbeatable especially in the League.

    A natural leader, always great to have that type of character.

    Question for me how was tavenier allowed that far up the pitch as he usually shackled because of maeda on the wing and looks he was allowed to roam freely and nearly scored 2 mins later and that will need to be watched for in the semi final.

    Love the guy..

    But Morelos could have had a couple against him in the box, not just the foul but he lost him from a corner in the 2nd and then the one he headed off CCV... needs to be better in the semi if he's marking fat boy again.

    CCV and Starfelt pick up their CBs...

    Corners and setplays are their only danger, we lack height and physicality, sacrificed for skill and flair..

    I thought this guy would be a massive stepdown from Jura after seeing them play each other in the WC. Just further evidence that I have no * idea what I'm talking about. Cracking player, better than Jura in defence and will likely improve beyond him in attack given his age. Also, gives it everything, which JJ never did in his last few months with us. What a signing.

    I thought the exact same. Jura was great for us last season though, easy to forget that considering how he performed this season.

    He was magnificent. He's a better player than Jura imo and I include Jura's form of last season in that.

    Aye the CB’s aren’t as dangerous for me. He’s consistently been on the end at corners for years now. Some amount of sitters man
