Excellent.

Surprised that Gray gets another start, to be honest, but generally that’s as good as we’ve got

I thought the same but I suppose with Ghezzal the other option there, it's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other at present.

Windy and rainy here. Free scarves again

Windy and rainy here.

Of course. It's the north.

Free scarves again

If it's not half & half they can **** off.

 

[M17TT C]

Team makes sense as they've lost the last 3 and have the joint worst defense in the league so no need for us to sit back and overload the defense.

Really important we don't concede first here though as they will make it difficult if so.

Should be able to do these anti-football duffers comfortably although I do think the conditions are more likely to play into their hands than ours.

Interesting game but hopeful we will come out on top.

 

[Brown Nose]

Our two central defenders will win or lose this for us. We're very outnumbered physically and the conditions are awful so heading it away and not being bullied is key.

I can't really see our technical players enjoying the afternoon. However, if they do, it will be a major plus for this group and their mentality.

 

[Jeff]

Good start.

 

[Jeff]

Red card for Maguire

 

[M17TT C]

**** sake

Looked good going forward and then wide open at the back and now down to 10.

Going to be a long afternoon now.

 

[Jeff]

Morgan replaces Gray

 

[popillius]

Jebus. Game over already.

 

[homer]

Bloody brilliant

Well done, Harry

 

[lazzer]

Looked more like a tangle of feet. Ref had no choice. Why did not just let him go ?

 

[londonfox]

Clear sending off

 

[Orifice]

We had plenty of sending-offs under mild mannerd Puel. I thought this would change a little. At least this sending off wasn't for violence on the pitch.

 

[Volpone]

Does that mean he won't play for England?

 

[Lako42]

Great kicking Kasper

 

[Jeff]

Does that mean he won't play for England?

No. Unless Southgate sees it and decides to drop him.
