Our U21's actually play their kids and their first team in the same week

He's piss weak for a man his size. Got no fucking energy about him whatsoever.

Being angry is what he's best at, after all.

We should absolutely be backing the lads. FFS, its what young players need - feeling like their matches matter, playing with some pressure on and backing. Not silence and being able to hear the manager shouting every time the ball goes out of play.

I like us with 3 at the back, but the 3 would almost certainly be Schar-Fernandez-Lejuene. Clark first backup for one of the side places, and Lascelles as Fernandez' backup.

He's got a good cross on him but so do all wingers. His ratio of good crosses to bad crosses has just got worse and worse. He's probably the first position I'd be looking to replace in the starting 11 to be honest.

Im surprised he stayed on after the elbow, was bleeding heavily - had to keep a tissue in his hand to wipe up the blood before Dean could march him back off, and had already ran his heart out. Thought that was the time to bring Muto on for him to be honest.

Perez could have been knocked out cold and that cunt wouldnt have let our Physio on. Refs have too much power.

Not a pen? Wey aye man just throw your elbow on anyone.

Great idea playing a full back at centre half when he's never played there.

please dont give joselu any meaningful amount of time Rafa.

Id rather have Longstaff than Hayden.

Enjoy Joselu, Dummett and Manquillo

Captain Ashley can fuck right off.

Can see it happening once Lejeune's back unless we're doing 3 at the back more often.

Rafa did it for Staveley too.

"Ban away fans" ffs. Can see them doing it for an advantage though.

Sorensen, Longstaff, Roberts and Woodman could all play at the level. Charman and Barlaser have been and will be back off loan, but Charman's nowhere near Sorensen in ability. Aarons will be back off loan and probably involved too. Also, Lejeune could do with some gametime if some over 21's can play

"League One Sunderland"

Roberts is playing despite being 22, what's the rules on players? I'd be tempted to throw Murphy in if he can play, get him some gametime against a league one defence.

I'd take anything that ousts his control over our transfer policy and team first and foremost. One battle at a time.

5 yellows from 8 fouls? Seems to be getting some harsh treatment.

I know Rafa doesn't want to play him yet but if Schar's out I think we need Lejeune to function.

Another reason I don't want Borini. I see him nothing more than a fill in hard runner for Ritchie on the right.
