He had a small interaction with Caicedo after their first challenge early on. After that it seemed to me at least that he went a little bit extra into every challenge, dribble, duel to make sure he won every 1v1 against him. I watched Brighton - Man Utd where Caicedo played RB and he did really well. Was impressed at how effectively Isak dealt with him. Still, prefer Isak centrally.

Correct, and genuinely think he didn't have anything left in the tank at that point. Been run ragged by Almiron the entire game.

I'll hold my hands up and say I was wrong. Ended up being Targett not Dummett. We also had a Bruno on 1 leg at the end. Why recall him?

That sweet GD, just in case

No end product @David Edgar

CHAAAAAANGESSS

Make some changes please.

It's now or never. We're past the time where Shola was still considered a talent at 26.

Willocks been running on fumes for a few weeks now, rarely looking fresh for more than a half. Not surprised his body said stop at some point before the season was over.

how is that a foul against Almiron?

Wilson & Willock off, Anderson & ASM on pls.

Time to wake up again. 2nd half has started.

Looks like Pope is on clear instruction to just hoof it.

Trippier easily beats Burn in an areal duel

Ref doing some excellent shithousing to get Bruno sent off.

Isak has decided he is going to win the duel against Caicedo. Seems to have the upper hand at the moment too.

#1 spot is clear, but good set of candidates for the #2 spot.

Anderson although the youngest is a senior player and 20 years old, and has hardly played. How many younger than that has gotten any minutes this season? (hint: below 1) Paul Dummett was ready to get on against Everton (?). There are at least 15 teams who has given PL game time to U20 players this season. https://www.transfermarkt.com/premier-league/juengsteaelteste/wettbewerb/GB1 Always ready to be proven wrong, but at the moment I'll maintain it's pointless recalling him from international duty.

Growing up in the 90's Coventry belongs in the PL for me. Bring back Steve Ogrizovic, Gary McAllister, Peter Ndlovu, Paul Telfer, Julian Darby, John Salako and Dion Dublin

Don't see the point. Howe has shown 0 commitment to giving youth players game time. He'll play Paul Dummet in midfield before this guy gets a sniff whether he's better than Dummett or not unless we're like 4 goals up with 3 minutes left on the clock.

They didn't play like Man City, but I also thought they did excellent at what they were trying to do, ref. 54's post:

Sunderland keeper completely gave up there. When the ball hit the side of the net he was the Sunderland player closest to the Luton goal

He's no Laurent Robert that Patrick Roberts

Sunderland players are tiny compared to Lutons.
