I think that's pretty good to be honest. There are very few "easy" games in the PL so you can't avoid tricky looking away games but we probably go into seven of our first nine as favorites, on paper.
Good opportunity to get off to a winning start against Burnley.

Final game of a crazy season is upon us.
We've had some big wins, great goals, some terrible performances, another injury crisis, some shocking PL form...and after it all, a glorious night in Bilbao to end the trophy drought.
Result doesn't matter today. It's all about the celebrations. COYS 🤍

Not much creativity in the midfield but we knew that was going to be the case - gone for legs so the distribution from Porro and Romero will be key.
Big call to have Son on the bench. Some good attacking options to bring on, though. We can do it
COYS - please bring it home! 🙏🏻

In just twelve hours time we'll either be celebrating our first major trophy in 17 long years or we'll have that familiar feeling of crushing disappointment having fallen just short once more.
Please let this time be different 🙏🏻😖

Think they've done OK so far. Moore has struggled to get into the game a bit. Spence a bit sloppy and Son needs to tighten up the end product but otherwise we've done better than I'd expected.
Does feel a like a Villa goal will come at some stage but they haven't battered us (so far).

Very pleased for Bergvall who has come on quicker than probably anyone expected & his ceiling is huge but I feel like there's quite a bit of recency bias / trajectory appreciation to that voting!
In terms of overall contribution I think Maddison, Kulu and even Porro can all feel a bit hard done by.

No issues with the rotation today but I don't think anyone can rotate that heavily and expect much in the PL - they tried but it was a very disjointed performance that Palace punished us for.
Won't be losing any sleep over it. Just hope Kulu is OK.
Anyway, I'm off to watch the Clasico!

Don't mind that line-up at all. If anything I'm surprised Porro and Bentancur are starting but I guess they'll come off midway through the second half.
Good to see Gray starting in midfield again. Hoping for no injuries and Kulu to rediscover some form. COYS.

WE'RE OFF TO BILBAO!! ✈️🎉⚽️
Thought that was such a professional performance from us. Bodo always score at home and pre-match they were confident of causing us problems but we kept them quiet all game.
Thought they all played well but Bissouma, Bentancur, Porro, Udogie and Solanke were all

No surprises in that line-up i don't think, given Richarlison started last week?
Will be a tough game where they're going to put us under pressure so hopefully we're at it from the first whistle.
Huge match. COYS.

Forgettable game that suited the final score - fairly disjointed stuff from both sides really.
Rested players while avoiding defeat or any further injuries so I'll take that, personally.
On to the main event on Thursday. Fingers crossed Maddison & Solanke are OK 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Don't dislike the line-up - resting key players other than where they potentially need more minutes. It's a team that's capable of winning but a full strength West Ham go into it as favorites at home.
Hopefully we can pull out a result but priority is no further injuries. COYS.

Seems like the majority are comfortable with the idea of fairly heavy rotation against West Ham tomorrow? Feels pragmatic given the injuries to Bergvall, Maddison & Solanke. We can't afford any more starters going down.
Think expectations will need to be set accordingly, though...you can't really

Well we're in the driving seat after what was - for the most part - a good semi final performance.
Shame their only shot on target deflected into the goal (especially given all our deflected shots went wide) and hopefully the Solanke and Maddison injuries aren't too bad. On to Norway. COYS.

I was worried about the starting line-up and whether it'd offer enough creativity but it worked - I thought that was a good, controlled first half. Great to have a two goal lead - need to keep going and try to extend that second half before I'd be confident going over to Norway. COYS.
Not a huge fan of that line up to be honest...real shame about Bergvall but to also not have any of Odobert, Tel or Kulu starting...i don't like it, tbh.
Still, hopefully it works and if not we have a strong bench. COYS.

Looking forward to tonight's game. Bodo haven't got to this stage through luck so even though they're missing a few we'll need to turn up...saying that, this is a great opportunity for us and anything other than a win tonight i do think is unacceptable. Our season has come down to these two

Not looking forward to the game later - we've won once at Anfield in the 21st century; handful of draws, but vast majority have been losses.
Anything can happen in football but on a day where they can win the title and we've got our eyes on Thursday a comfortable home win feels inevitable to me.

I'm sure I'll be in the minority and I know our games lost total this season is appalling but I'm not overly fussed by that result. Partly becuase it doesn't matter, partly becuase i don't think we deserved to lose it, and partly becuase I'd rather Nottingham Forest finish top 5 than Chelsea...

Side note but I think we should make Mathys Tel a permanent signing if he wants to stay. He's still raw but you expect that at 19 - i think there's huge potential there and we started to see a bit more of that potential vs Frankfurt. Could well be our long term heir to Son at LW.

Such a big game for us tonight - of we lose our season is over & officially a disaster.
Hard not to be skeptical given our away record in Europe down the years but we're definitely capable if we show up. We just need to not panic - toe is level. First goal feels important. COYS.
