Not evne mentioning the Kane tackle on sky :lol:

 

:lol: They mentioned it briefly here. Think they said it was just about a yellow. Something something out of character.

To be fair, they did say that had been Shelvey instead of Kane, it would've been a red. Obviously true.

Didn't think the Kane tackle was that bad tbh. Typical forward's effort, clumsy and needless. Just got unlucky that Lejeune's ankle got trapped.

 

I don't think it's particularly malicious but it is very dangerous imo, booth feet off the ground scissor challenge.

Decent half. They're clearly a class above but we've held our own.

 

Think the injuries are likely to fuck us over though. They'll be able to bring on some fresh legs in the 2nd half and we won't. It'll be Mitro for Gayle after an hour and that'll be it. Can see them picking us off, hopefully we can nick the first goal and shut up shop.

I'm a pessimist through and through! However, I think that was a solid first 45 mins. The longer we keep them out the longer you can hope for a point or nicking all 3.

So if we need to change things, who do we change?

 

Mitrovic would make us more solid but less of a threat, Murphy is an unknown quantity.

 

If I was a gambling man I'd take off Richie for Murphy. Ayoze at least looks fit. Gayle could break down at any moment though

Kane's a little mong. Scissor tackle's Lejeune just because Lejeune had rinsed him.

 

Yep. Also Alli bargaining into Lascelles cos he got tackled. Precious little buggars aren't they.

I think Kanes tackle was worthy of a yellow, red would be quite harsh. Went in hard but did win the ball. If Lejurne just got up nobody would have batted an eyelid at a booking

 

He didn't though because it was a dangerous tackle
