Smal

he’s starting to win me over

what on earth is Neville talking about Goes over the top of the ball with his studs and ends up halfway up the opposition’s shin ffs

Longstaff again defensively. So good.

Longstaff has been everywhere defensively today

How's that not a yellow

he always does that. It's a reflex

Tonali is quick, mind

Rushed him back too soon?

Burn has been ill this week tbf. We haven't played that well, but we should've scored 4.

Is Burn high

That’s so unlucky for Anderson. Good save.

Bruno is on it

Love how Anderson is always trying to make something happen and move the ball forward. Suits this team well.

if your TV is in the US you can watch this on peacock which is a pretty cheap subscription

Was Gordon who got booked for dissent. He’s so brainless sometimes

trademark Miggy screamer

Was a pen on Diaby rather than a foul on the keeper there imo

Brighton just completely not up for the physical battle

The Mbappe solution is us completely fucking dominating them and scoring 5

Livramento got his injury in April and came back in May the following year. Krafth got his in pre-season (July/August) so similar recovery times really. edit: I think if players are coming back from an ACL in 9 months they're doing it wrong these days. Seems to take a year now and the chances of a full recovery are much greater than they were in Shearer's time. edit 2: turns out Krafth got his in the EFL 2nd round at the end of August.

Early-Howe Willock was another who also didn't have the right amount of intensity in his game. It had to be coached into him and now he's a machine. It will definitely come.

Lascelles had 88% pass completion and Dummmett 91%!

One of the things I’ve noticed over the last few months is that Wilson is very good at leading the press. He pretty much always plays with 100% intensity. Don’t take this as some massive criticism or owt, but sometimes Isak doesn’t and you can tell it’s not a natural part of his game at times. One of the biggest changes yesterday was that he came out for the second half and ran himself into the ground chasing and pressing like Wilson does. It really sets the tone for the rest of the team when the forwards press like him and Gordon did second half. If he can get fitter and start doing that over 60-90 minutes his game will be pretty much complete.

oh fuck off, man
