Yep!! 2 mins instructions for 30 secs playing time.

Yep, he's looks good. Dropped a bit deep once or twice but otherwise good positioning. Stays on his feet. Looks strong.

I bet you think that aliens built the pyramids too.

No idea, but we haven't had one rejected in this game and haven't conceded one that shouldn't have been given.

You OK hun? xx

Behave. He gave it quickly as it was blatant. Even we would have been given that.

He didn't. Not even close.

Bit of both I think. They've breached our right side loads but the path to the middle has been blocked by a load of players. Salisu had one moment when he was a statue, but been very solid and calm otherwise.

After moaning about Dean, we have no chance of getting the rub of the green.

That was a card all day long.

In all seriousness, it's hard to see why you would've singled him out. Minamino was the one having a shocker. Redmond did what he's been doing but his critics hadn't seen, ie dropping off and linking play. This time someone actually made a run and he picked it out with a cracking ball.

Wow!! Redmond did brilliantly there. Dropped deep and made that happen.

Yep, my thoughts. Just seems kind of zonal over there with Bednarek or Djenepo filling space. Really odd.

Looks 433 at times though. Djenepo deeper than Minamino. Odd.

Salisu static there. Thought he was meant to be the mobile CB.

Ha!! Not surprising. Make him a cuppa.

Where is Djenepo playing? He's all over the place.

Yep, ditto Stephens tbh. "No players". Ouch.

On reflection I think it will be a 3 at the back. Ralph hinted at a change of shape in the embargoed section of his pre-match press conference on Thursday. "If you have no players in one position, then it is always an option to think about a change of shape. This is not something that is too difficult to change quickly, especially when you have had a week to prepare.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl

Apparently his ban included the FA cup. I thought the same as you but someone mentioned a rule change.

I get that but Djenepo at wing back against their left side is mental. I'm in two minds on Redmond. He drops deep and links play which helps the midfield. We'll need that without Armstrong, and especially if we're playing 3 at the back.

I reckon usual shape with either Bednarek or Salisu RB. Djenepo at wing back against Alonso and Werner would be nuts.

Heart says score draw, head says there'll score and we won't. I've not captained Werner in my fantasy league team as I never back anyone against us, but I think he'll have a field day coming off the left.

Bingo. There wasn't one. You're comparing apples with potatoes. If Sunderland had done it twice then your Sunderland point would have some relevance. We did it twice, and piss poor on field leadership was a factor as to why.
