Ham Report post Posted May 19 I actually thought we played really well throughout that game. Good performances all round with a very special mention for Reece who, apart from one misplaced pass on 89 minutes was absolute perfection. He is simply world class. If CP puts that chance away its a perfect night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We must have had one of the smallest teams in the league back then! Yea class goal, I loved Spenny, his jumping volley against Liverpool was brilliant as well.

JaneB Report post Posted May 19 So we scrape third but I don't feel in celebratory mood although maybe a little relieved that Spurs won't overtake us. We've had some simply awful performances, results and misses this season. Imagine if we'd had a forward line and midfield worthy of our great club, as in times gone by, we could have been top. Let's hope many changes are afoot because another season like this will not do :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phoenix Blue Report post Posted May 19 I agree with Ham actually, thought we played pretty well, but as we all know until we find a way to put the ball in the net especially at home, we will always appear to struggle. Thought Reece was very good as was Jorghino, similar to his performance against Liverpool. Also thought Ziyech was very lively and worked hard, can't really get upset about the result we finish third and this team gets rebuilt next season. As for Leicester thought they were very ordinary.

He's looking like Kepa did under Frank. Seeing the ball late and not getting a hand to shots or not even diving for them. We've got too many other positions to sort out in the summer so he's safe for now, but if he carries on like this next season, then come the end of next season we should be looking for another keeper.

I seem to recall Graham Rix coming out of retirement to play in that game as the old “3 foreign players” rule was still in back then and Spenny was classed as a foreigner! Didn’t see the game tonight due to work but managed to listen to it on the 5th Stand. I do enjoy listening to Jason Cundy give his thoughts on the match.
