It is of course one half at at time & one game at the time!
If I ponder, we are runners up in the final we still have to finish 7th to go into Europe (presuming Liverpool finish in one of the other European qualifying places), next year albeit in the lowest competition but still Europe.
Thank you for your very honest analysis, accurate I believe as well. The return of Chilwell just shows how Poch has been choosing his team with one hand behind his back. With James/Gusto on the other wing and the ability to either go past and round the wide player or invert as Chillwell did so well last night will add the additional dynamic to our team that we have been looking for. Whilst Mudrych may not have played well last night, but his presence alone created space for Chilwell, and that should not be ignored. Finally, if you go back over the last few games our pressing has been particularly good and has resulted in a lot of goals, that commentators and some supporters often see as the oppositions mistakes. The reality is we put the pressure on those players to create the chances. Onwards and upwards and already looking forward to the cup final.
I cannot argue with that one but Andy. I guess my comment was about the shape of the team and his involvement helped Chilly even though he didn’t have a good game
Fair Assessment Luke thank you.

Agree with the player ratings apart from Mudryk. I thought he was awful again ?He needs to go on loan somewhere and get his confidence back.
Would Afganistan be far enough away I wonder?

Craige I like what you said but I'd ask one thing wouldn't it have been better if Murdryk hadn't lost the ball nearly every time he got it?

No excuses now for Pochettino not to play Chilwell at LB (subject to availability)
