apparently the rules are different for handball to a foul like Martinez’s, aye. Still think it’s clearly denying a goal scoring opportunity, like.

Isak and Bruno off it that half, otherwise very good tbh. Villa are good and have quality all over.

don’t really see how it’s any different to Pope’s red last season tbh. There was a covering defender then too.

Botman has been excellent so far

Not been Bruno’s day so far

ah shit, this looks bad for Mings

t-shirts for injuries

Hope Gordon's a lot better than he was in the April game, like

Been coming, that. Too many long balls and no guile or patience from us after the first 10 minutes.

Mad shootout, that. Lovely stuff. Other nations in pen shootouts is pure schadenfreude and I'm here for it.

I've missed the football but I haven't missed the stress, like . Feeling sick 7 hours before kick off. Stupid game.

miss him already

Probably an unpopular opinion but based on the game in April I think I'd start Wilson for this. Just think the physical battle in this particular game suits him better than Isak and his pressing sets the tone, something we massively lacked last time.

Wilson’s pretty clinical when it comes to assists tbh. Got 5 last season. Underrated part of his game imo.

Will get a bag of goals at the back post if this is how he plays and finishes. Doesn't get involved in build-up play at all basically, but I was impressed with his ball carrying ability in transition.

12 points from 2 games. Gonna win the league.

golazo Joelinton

Murph has done so well in the Trippier role, like . Totally different player to when Bruce used to sling him in at right back.

Has carried the ball on transitions really well when he's had the chance. Done a pretty good job at replacing what ASM brought to the team in that regard.

Barnes hasn't gotten involved that much but he's been pretty great when he has.

Fantastic from Bruno. Barnes really should've scored...

haha, diving around like that in a friendly, man.

No need for Livramento when we have Murph

How's that a yellow for Longstaff ffs Joey's definitely getting sent off if this carries on

Lascelles used to be awful with the ball, but now he's all right.
