Loftus Cheek and Patrick Roberts we're so helpful today as they pulled us right out of it from losing 1-0 to Southampton who deserved their lead. We managed to make it 2-1 with some scrappy play, but right at the death for the second time in as many premier league games we were denied of the 3 points in the 90th minute, heartbreaking stuff.​
 
Ouch !!! Two draws with goals in the 90th ? In a row ? As I 've said in other story its on of the moments where you want to break your pc/laptop into pieces !!! Keep your chin up my friend !

Very annoying to happen twice in as many games but it keeps the relegation battle exciting! I really need every point I can get.

Is it me or is Kyle Walker winning 'Man of the Match' pretty much every game haha?

He seems to yeah! haha, he gets a couple of assists nearly every game and is pretty solid at the back for me too.
 
With the second leg of the PSV game just a couple of days away, I called for a team meeting with the lads. They'd been superb since I'd arrived, and turned everyones heads with how they have now developed into a strong defensive team.

"We've threw away two games late on now and we can not afford to do it again on Thursday. We have a real claim here to go all the way if we get through this match. The chance of playing against Barcelona. Opportunities like this don't always come around lads. If we managed to win the competition which I know may seem unrealistic but if we do you will all be playing in the Champions League next season. We're setting up to defend, but hopefully we can nick a goal too."

I was confident. Most of them didn't have much European experience but I can see us getting through, then there are only 2 more rounds to go until the final, we really could make something of our season.​

We set up today to defend and we did it superbly. After a heavy 18 minutes of quick PSV attacks we countered with a lovely run by Patrick Roberts which set up James Wilson to make it 1-0, meaning PSV now needed 4 goals to qualify. Patrick Roberts made it 2-0 just before half time and we knew then we we're through. PSV still attacked heavily and pulled one back but it was little to late for them.

Roberts took advantage of their desperation to get a goal by running through on goal with no one to around him in the last minute, we'd made it into the quarter finals and it was beginning to feel real.​

The draw couldn't have been any kinder to us. Club Brugge are probably the worst team left in the competition, and our semi-final draw means we will miss the chance of playing Barcelona or Atletico Madrid if we do go through, although we could end up with a tough tie against Chelsea.​

The boo's as I walked out of the tunnel caused shivers down my spine. No matter what was said in the news about me or Martin, I always seemed to get the worse end of things. No one had forgiven me and in a way I can't blame them. What they think has happened is awful, but they are wrong.

I wasn't expecting a result today but when I seen Moreno wasn't in the starting XI I had some hope,k and we did manage to take the lead when Sturridge converted a penalty. This could have been huge for us. Unfortunately the lead was only held for a few minutes and then Ronaldo, Barker and Origi crushed any hopes of getting a point at Goodison with 3 brilliant goals.

We have our first leg of the Europa league quarter final next and will be hoping for a much better result.​
 
You can get the job done in Brugge I have faith! Nice to see Ruben still performing!

Another game we should have won. Chelsea could not get going all game and we seemed to control the game. It was nice to see them struggling and was even nicer to see us dominate the game. We both had important quarter final second legs of the Europa League coming up so we had to change our sides for this fixture.

It's another point on the board for us, which is massive at this point of the season, I can't help but think we need a win soon though.​

We are four points clear with a game in hand, but we haven't picked up a win in a while and that could damage us if other teams form starts to pick up. There's only 6 games left so if we can get a couple of wins in the last 6 I can see us staying up.

We need to look at our home games and believe we can win them. To get a result at Arsenal and United is a big ask but we will look to try and steal a point. The game on the last day of the season against Burnley could be a huge game as they are also on the verge of going down.​
 
Tough away fixtures. Still looking good though. A win should guarantee survival, I think.

Good luck, especially in the away leg against Brugge. I'm sure you can muster up a victory. :)
