That's actually a good idea. But maybe some shady managers would ask one of their players whom they intend to sub to go down feigning a head injury to get a free pass and thus potentially gain an unfair advantage with 4 fresh players. The decision would have to be made by a doctor.

Bollocks tbh. He's not up there with the best as a tactician but to say he just got lucky is complete utter nonsense. He deserves huge credit for changing the whole environment and mindset and the development of a far more positive atmosphere and culture.

Thankfully CAT scan has come back all clear but he is being kept in for observations.

David Ospina rushed to hospital after collapsing - had been hit on the heard earlier in the half but collapsed a little later. Doesn't sound great. Hope he's fine but really is about time all of football started taking head impact injuries seriously.

He was rubbish but that's a great goal Basically this. Thought he tried. Not everything’s gonna come off but he never hid and was always looking to start something. It's not the under 11s. Apart from that strike he was shocking, if we are to persist with wing backs we need upgrades on both sides.

Fully deserved.

Shocking. Rafa will be furious.

No. Sell him imo, Darlow saved two in the same game... Yes. V Watford.

15 pens a game if you give that.

Clear pen.

Is Dummett in a three.

Bright start.

Not much else he could do in central midfield, clearly being careful with Shelvey after a few false starts coming back form injury and getting injured again.

Disagree.

He was furious after their first mind.
