Perfect result today...,for Eddie to reflect on changes for next season. If we had nicked a draw then would have papered over the cracks.
Know ye of such a coach?Defensive coach with PL experience. We have been crying out for one for four years. Our level of understanding defending is embarrassing.
How many other teams would score three or more goals in three successive away games and win only one of them....
I heard it was his last EPL game. at 54 years of age he has retired.He sticks out in the memory as being a particularly bad referee; can't remember why though (they all just start to blend in to one amorphous blob of incompetence).
Ibe is frustrating tbf....i've defended him but i can't see it working for him in any position.....certainly not a 10 as has been suggested on here as he just doesn't seem to be able think fast enough to release the ball....doesn't make use of his pace as every run he makes is stop....start ...stop ...start...stop ....start....no striker can time a run off him......think we may have seen the last of him....championship beckons.
Or motivate him to go on a may run for yet another assist!!Lerma to wind up Zaha ? He might even make him cry!

he's going to have to get the replacements correct because his track record on transfers has been more dross than good.

Just glad season is over, been quite depressing tbh considering we stayed up.
Some really dog defending today as per, Clyne (2nd goal) back to Liverpool useless, Simpson (1st) & Cook in particular who looks uncomfortable without Ake next to him. Alot of players slipping aswell summed it up. Please make that the last game Ake plays in CM he's obviously uncomfortable aswell and our best CB. A big window for EH, I do think we will lose 1 or 2 and he's going to have to get the replacements correct because his track record on transfers has been more dross than good. Hopefully he can get rid of alot of this dross in the squad and get a few young uns out on a decent loan (Simpson, Travers, Mousset) as they really need it. As it stands we're slowly doing what Swansea did, going down few places each season and then eventually it catches you.
Yes, really depressing....4nil Watford..3nil Fulham..4nil Chelsea ,5nil Brighton,double over West Ham.......think I'll throw myself off a cliff
What on earth were we thinking of when we had Ake on loan ?
