The guy should have fouled almiron
Wilson did great

Oh to have just a semi decent striker

Di Zerbi can make some weird decisions sometimes, why did he start Undav and Gilmour instead of McAlister and Enciso today?

His weird benching of Roberto Sanchez for Steele earlier in the season wasn't great either
Isn't Sanchez trying to force a move? Wouldn't be surprised if its to us.

That's the Champions League for Newcastle and they will never not be in the Champions League now with state-backed money

Sorry but what risk does it increase that I prefer Newcastle over Pool? As if my opinion on an internet forum will have any impact on the outcome of this match :lol:
That's obviously not what I claimed.

If Newcastle lost their remaining games we need less points to finish top 4. If Newcastle win their games we need more points to finish top 4. Therefore Newcastle winning their remaining games increases the chances United don't finish top 4.

All irrelevant now, Newcastle have sewn up top 4 tonight, they'll beat Leicester easily.

We need to win 2 out 3 games, Newcastle & Liverpool are irrelevant. If we don’t do that it’s not because they win it’ll be a bottle job of epic proportions.

Watched the last 15 minutes it was Brighton with the majority of possession pressing hard for equaliser and then killed on the counter attack twice in a couple of minutes.

No, they're not irrelevant.

If worst case scenario happened and we failed to win 2 games, we could still finish top 4. But it would require Newcastle and Liverpool dropping points, which would be beneficial to us.

Dude not fouling almiron was a huge mistake

You are confusing top 4 with finishing 3rd. Or perhaps you meant Brighton.

Brighton are either Barcelona or Bergantinos, there’s no in between.
Every season there's a team who performs above it's station and the world goes gaga over them. And then a couple of seasons later they are fighting relegation. Leicester a perfect example. Been others like West Ham, Southampton in recent times as well.

At the end of the day the only way to sustained success is money and deep squads. You can have a great scouting network but ultimately your best players will be bought and you won't be able to replace them. Fully expect Brighton to struggle massively next season.

People like the romantic stories of the little clubs showing how "well run" they are, but it never leads to sustained success unless they have deep pockets.

If we miss out on Top4 it isn’t about what Liverpool do in their last 2 games it’s about what we did over 38.

We don’t require anyone else to drop points, we’re required to win 2 games out of 3.
