Good forward thinking to have “L Miley” on his shirt.

I loved him letting the ball roll past him and the delayed touch to beat the man for the first goal. The cross for the second near defied physics. I’ve never seen a player play for us so good with people around him. He must have about 50% better peripheral vision than most players! Then he uses his body, angles of run, touches so well to shield the ball. He makes it look so easy.

Twice yesterday an uninjured player stayed down. Either the ref stopped play or we kicked it out. The players got up and didn’t need treatment and carried on. if a player has to stay off the pitch for 45 seconds when they actually need treatment. A player who stays down to force the game to be stopped should ? % still have to go off the pitch the 45 seconds whether they then say they need treatment or not.

It was good to see the ref seeing multiple angles of the incident rather than just 1 cherry picked one. Hopefully that is a new things and will continue.

Must be been hard for Will having a kid on each team.

There is one adult one left now. Added to basket and checked trains and I can't do it So frustrating. If someone wants to try to grab it after I remove it from basket let me know in next 5 mins!

Also the squad in the R. If I paid part of the 15k for that I'm be fuming. I'd be writing letters, starting petitions and everything.

6k away fans does reduce the home advantage a tad. At either ground if the away team is winning the atmosphere will feel like being at home.

Stuff like this and Villa doing flags to slag the opposition rather than support the team is so small time. also - That cant be real right? The A and G are missing the border. Looks shite.

Given their melt down today if anyone has the social media clout to start a rumour that WorFlags have been given permission my Sunderland to do a display anther place please do. I think it would break them.

Same for Sevilla and they got 2 points. So we did better. Get less money. Mental.

Such fine margins. End of the day the keepers were the difference. Theirs made would class save. I don’t recall ours making a save.

I thought he flapped his arms. Live it looked like there was a pull.

Is there a replay of the Isak potential foul when he was 2 on 1 near the end? Was it a foul?

Get Shearer in to teach him how to kick a ball. He smashed the goal with everything he had and it had less power than a shearer side footer. If he ever learns how to connect his foot with a ball he will be unstoppable.

feels like there is a bit of a power shift...

If it takes a vote for 14 out of the 20 to change anything why have the other 14 not historically used this to get rules that suit them? The voting structure favours the 14 yet we seem to end up with rules that suit the teams that regularly get into the champions league.

How does that ever get voted though?

I wonder where this leaves them in terms of not breaking the rules again this year. Also if they were to be sued for 300 million. Would that count against the losses for the club? If so it would cause them to break the rules again. Opening the door for other clubs to sue them ?

to counter that. I believe in var I think it just needs to be continually improved. Even current Var fixes both these decisions in seconds. https://x.com/fanzinewsl/status/1724913737717395946?s=46&t=lkNEu-V5PpvC89SXW8Ms0A

VAR did a good job.

I guess it makes his ban effectively 7 month. From now until our last competitive game. He can have a normal pre season with training and friendlies then as you say misses the first couple games.

Trippers ball was fantastic allowing Murphy to play first time. I thought playing the ball to the right of Murphy was really clever.

A shot!
