I expected Dominguez to replace Yates, Hopefully we’ll see Taiwo replace Wood soon.

Agree. Was hoping wood would score today.

Sterling has done exactly what CHO did, 2-2

Spoke too soon

We just need to see this out now. Confirm our stay in the league and go party

Too open down the right hand side and Jackson scores. We just keep shooting ourselves in the foot.

Very soon

Toffs just went walk about.

Got to learn to defend

What are we doing. Toffolo was totally out of shape

Todays game just about sums up the season, but as the Rev used to say when he was on here, its the hope that kills you.
Looking like yet another 3-2, but still have time.

Would be a 3-2!

That score has been our nemesis. Don’t recall us winning one though.

Elanga looks like having his usual impact, nil.

Somehow they have Cole Palmer player of the match, can’t say i agree with that.

Very strange. He's been good but CHO and MGW for me

Really don't know how we managed to lose that.

It looks like we have survived the season, but it feels a bit flat.
It’s really disappointing how naive we can be at times, between Montiel and Toffs, its cost us the point that we probably deserved.
As usual we missed far too many simple chances.
Will Nuno be in charge next season ?? I’m not sure.

Fleet, how many times have you asked that this season ?? The answer is, far too many.

Decent game for the naturals

Our season in a nutshell, decent going forward but not clinical and vulnerable at the back

So, we staying in this league then?

So true. We just have not learnt this season.

I think he will sack the manager. Can’t see him putting up with those performances. I don’t really agree sacking is the answer but I think it will happen. He hasn’t improved the defending at all to be fair. The last goal was awful, can’t keep conceding like that.

For the amount of money EM has put into the club, we are a disaster.
You would expect at least a step forward, we haven’t even achieved that, no matter how you sugar coat it.
Nuno has NOT improved our defending at all, and last season the WFCG was a fortress, this season it’s been far too easy for teams turn up and walk away with the points.
We have some decent players, but we still have some positions to fill, if we are going to compete in the Prem next season, or will it be a re-run of the last two seasons. ??
A huge decision has to be made on Sangare, £32m+ and we are lucky if he gets a few minutes per game.
To me either Nuno or Sangare go, or possibly both go.

Agree with all of above

Last year felt a special achievement, euphoric feeling in the Arsenal game and the party at the Palace.

This feels a little bit "meh" lots of reasons I guess, we have underachieved, let ourselves down on and off the pitch. The whole premier League experience is losing novelty with FFP, VAR and Social and mainstream media creating more frustration than enjoyment.

Still, 3 consecutive seasons in the top league is decent and we have some quality, exciting players so good reason to have hope next year will be better

As you say at least 3 years in the lunatic asylum that is the Premier league, should help give us financial stability, assuming we don’t have another melt down in the transfer market.
We need a manager who knows how to see out games, we could probably do worse than someone like David Moyes, ideally that model but a bit younger, but Moyes could give us the season of stability we need.
Some of Nuno’s selections / substitutions are just bizarre, replacing Yates with Elanga being just one of them.
I’m grateful for what Nuno has achieved, but i don’t think he is the man to take us forward.
