Geordie Ahmed

Disallowed, seems so incredibly harsh

Depends on what body part they use

Think Elanga might just be offside

Huge save from Forster

Finished 1-1

Some save from the Bristol keeper, it's all Sunderland here

1-1 About 2 mins left

Lewsing

That was some penalty like

Pen to Atalanta

Lovely finish from Bowen that

Lovely finish from Doherty that

I think that's a pen

Why does VAR take so long, it's quite clear he is offside

That is brilliant news, thought he'd do well to be playing by Feb but looks like it will be well before that

And now Outtara had a chance to kill the game off, will they regret these missed chances?

Tavernier should have killed the game there

Forster is all over the place

Howler from Forster but looks like it's going to be offside

Bournemouth gets away with that, was a howler

Iwobi makes it 3-1 and game over

He's on a decent wage so even letting him go for nowt has to be beneficial, whatever has gone on has messed with him and he's in no state to contribute It's a shame it's ending like this because overall he's been one hell of a signing for us and his role in getting us out of the crap when he joined can't be underestimated

I agree with this but the only aspect I think that is crucial is if Howe prefers player X from the list whilst Mitchell prefers player Y then it should be Howe with that final say and I think that is how it works I just think the suggestion from some that Howe have next to no involvement is absurd and not likely to ever happen, be that with Howe or whoever the next manager is (That's not me wanting Howe out btw, there will at some point be a next manager)

Don't think you can, not sure any of the clubs operate that way (except maybe Real Madrid where Perez just signs who he wants) Even Klopp with the Salah scenario, although it wasn't his preferred choice he listened to what the data people were saying and agreed to it Any other way is problematic

Even if they spend and hit the ground running they are relying on Liverpool to lose 4 games just to get ahead of them, plus that assumes City won't drop any more points, which they clearly will so you are probably in a situation where Liverpool can afford to lose 6-7 games and still be fine City are in a top 4 battle, they know the league is done
