I"m not moaning FFS! Think Southgate has managed the squad superbly. Just didn't agree with that sub as it was a negative move. But the win was well deserved and roll on the final. By the way, Vestergaard played very well for Denmark. If he stays and plays like that all season I'll be more than happy.

Personally, don't agree with the Grealish sub. I didn't feel it was necessary as Denmark were on their last legs. If anything it gave them half a chance to get back in it. But that said, we did manage the game and keep the ball superbly in last 5 minutes and by and large Southgate has made the right calls in this tournament.

No fucking way.

Cracking goal from Tielemans. If they go on and win, that would be a worthy winner in any final.

A class act, quality defensively and in possession. Personally, I would have been happy to see him stay on for a couple more years, but let's hope we can sign a younger replacement with some quality who can step into his boots. Can't help speculating that there may have been some kind of tension recently with Ralph reading his Twitter sign off. Seems odd he would thank Semmens and Crocker but not mention the manager? The comment about finding a new home that allows him "freedom to play and maximise his contribution to the team" is interesting. A hint of unhappiness with how Ralph has asked him to play recently? I could be reading too much into it though! It certainly seems a well thought out message, quite typical of Ryan I think. Good luck to him wherever he ends up 👍

Better start this half, just need to be sharper in final third now.
-
Looking at the table now, it's a good job Fulham have slipped back into a poor run of form recently or we could have been looking at a pretty high points total to stay up this year.
-
Leicester now looking over their shoulders at teams bunching up behind them in the table. They blew a champs league spot last season with a poor late run of league form, won’t want the same thing to happen again this season. Securing top 4 spot surely more of a priority for them than the FA Cup (he says hopefully)?
-
Offside (says VAR anyway!)
-
The logic now with these VAR reviews of tackles seems to be “well that looks bad on the slow mo replay so he has to go”, no account taken of the overall situation in real life speed. That one shouldn’t be a red, he clearly had full intent to play the ball and did so, just caught the player in the follow through. Poor use of VAR yet again.
-
It's going to be interesting to see which way Ralph goes with this. Personally I think he will want to maintain the momentum of the last couple of games and give the likes of Ings & Theo another game to get them fully up to speed before the semi final. So I think it's unlikely he will make changes unless there are particular worries over fitness or knocks.

👍

Leicester/Man U would be least worst draw for us in my opinion.
-
Well played Nathan Redmond, pleased for him. Clearly he has had a poor season, but he has always been a confidence player and this performance and 2 good goals and a fine assist should do him the power of good for the rest of the season if he can stay fit.
-
Can't complain at that side. Should be good enough to win if they perform. COYR!
-
Yep. Also, our squad is criminally light in some positions currently and the club needs to address that, not just Ralph. Getting shot of Ralph won't change the fact we only have 2 premier league quality centre midfielders at the club, which is crazy and was bound to catch up with us at some point this season.
-
My advice is you should give up following football. If you think the chance of winning a cup is meaningless, what's the point?
-
Baffling stuff from us. Surely we have to be more direct at this point?
-
Lack of urgency from us is concerning. Poor second half.
-
Get in!
-
Well deserved based on the first half. Fulham looking a decent side now.
-
Interesting. Great opportunity for him to make an impact. Good luck to him.
-
Great news 😊
-
Most premier league clubs would not leave themselves with no specialist full back cover (regardless of injuries) though would they? I get that Valery ain't great but he is a specialist full back and he has played a significant number of PL games. Sorry but I think you can count the number of PL clubs who would have loaned him out with no replacement in the midst of an injury crisis on one finger.

West Brom result good for us. But tells us a lot about the direction our season has taken that we are now much more interested in West Brom v Brighton than City v West Ham or Leeds v Villa. Sigh...
