TRon

He could have maybe got the card out a bit earlier but at least he's not been a homer.

The two chances we created for Miggy and Isak came when we were a bit more inventive and broke through their press. I think we are playing it safe a bit, not sure if that's fatigue.

Poor first half from the front line. Can't blame Isak so much, they know he is the danger man and marking him very closely, that's why we need more from Almiron and Gordon, both have shown a distinct lack of aggression and hunger for this one.

It was but VAR is never going to be brave enough to call that one.

The best chance was when Miggy was clean through then snatched at it.

Disappointing how many opportunities we are giving them to wing crosses in.

What a miss!

Great move, unlucky with the finish. That's the sort of football which will unlock them.

He's the one they are watching like a hawk, we really need more aggressive runs into the box from the wide players.

We aren't playing the ball quickly enough, giving them too much time to close us down.

Another woefully weak finish from Miggy.

They are just closing us down hard, look absolutely pish on the ball.

Struggling to break Everton's press somewhat.

Well I'm going off the only example I know of as the main commentator, so that's all I can go off. I also categorically said that for the most part the female co-commentators have been great. I think you are just seeing what you want to see.

So you want to keep him now?

It's fantasy island stuff so I wouldn't take it too seriously.

I don't know who the female commentator is on MOTD but I can't watch it when she's trying to shout excitedly. It sounds fake. But often when they are co-commenting they are very good, generally very knowledgable. It's got nothing to do with having a man next to them to keep them right, just as most of the female analysts don't need a man next to them in the tv studio to make valid observations.

That bit I agree with. They can make very decent co-commentators though when they're not trying to sound like the female version of Martin Tyler.

I doubt the police would allow it tbh, especially with sunderland already having a reputation as a hotbed of racism.

Some club in need of goals will eventually buy him, but it won't be a club chasing European places. That Man U are willing to sell him despite his annoying goals tells you all you need to know.

Everton are getting turned over tonight.

The biggest difference is we'll have Isak up front.

I doubt he's deciding to go down any route. Like he says, he's earned enough money to be able to say whatever he likes, I doubt it's anything particularly strategic.

The national media reflect the same mindset which kept Steve Bruce in a manager's job for over 20 years at the top level of English football.

I'd be disappointed with a draw tbh. I know it's a tough place to win, but I'd be expecting Liverpool or Villa to come out of there with three points.
