Yeah it’s because Man U wanted their keeper to be allowed to retrieve the ball from the back of the net and pretend it didn’t go in

I don’t agree. Schumacher’s is far worse - Battiston had got to the ball miles before him and it was past him already. Schumacher just absolutely deliberately took Battiston out. In this case - is the Millwall keeper right-footed? If so, he comes out, awkwardly tries to kick the ball very high up with his wrong foot and actually makes contact before following through on Mateta’s face. Wildly dangerous and a clear red, but on the face of it I think not deliberate. As for the ref, I do have a little sympathy. Don’t know exactly the angle he saw it at, but I want refs to be very sure before giving somebody a red. Not a lot of sympathy though - it was about as dangerous as dangerous play gets.

Just saw Ipswich’s first goal

Who was that young kid you got off Man City a year or so ago? Edit: Just Googled, it was him then.

Me too, because that would mean he’d been great and we’d won lots of things. Not sure you’ve thought this through.

It really feels off that they’re making all these cuts while so many players are getting paid absolute fortunes. I guess they’re saving on win bonuses too.

Forgot this lanky cunt was there

Fucking boom.

Cracking game. I’d be hiding my scarf on the way home though

Great effort - minimal backlift.

Hamer walking a bit of a tightrope here.

Still feels like Meslier has one more rick in him.

Finally had real presence in the middle, committed one or two extra players forward and gave the CBs more to deal with.

I see nothing to change this opinion

Feel a bit like Luton 2 years ago at times. Big, strong, physical and effective.

Rodon has looked pretty classy.

Solomon needs to be more prepared to go left when taking on his opponent. The RM has clearly been told to track back more to help his RB. Sheff Utd feel like one of those sides where they always leave a foot in but also dive and whinge at every opportunity. Embodied by Brereton Diaz.

Feels like a matter of time here. Solomon is all over Clark, and the LB is sitting deeper than the CBs because he’s worried about James, which is messing up the line.

messy as fuck. Edit: oof, just palms it into his own net.

Tbf, looking at that replay as the commentator says “no real pressure on him” he’s clearly being held down.

Another mess.

These throw ins are crazy. That just went straight through the keeper’s hands. Leeds fan I know says they’ve not got a lot of faith in him.

Should be an interesting match.

An Arsenal player up to no good off the pitch? Say it ain’t so.

I mean, I thought it was a bold choice ranking Dubravka number one.
