Fofana done well for Burnley. Let's hope he doesn't keep them up

Barkley should be in England squad if his current form continues imo, way better than Phillips, Henderson etc. Him giving the ball away once isn't really enough to override the numerous top performances he's had this season, most of which have come against the best clubs in the league.

Also Fellaini retired today, saw this from Mourinho

Nice words from Jose. Always admired fellaini. First night of my honeymoon I booked a hotel in Sri Lanka making sure they had the match on us v United first game of season fellaini scored and we won 1-0. Probably the highlight of my honeymoon and explains why we're separated

That fourth Brighton goal was some sexy football.

I bet you fantasize about Nora Batty.

Absolute gash defending by Fulham, though. What on earth was the 'keeper doing for Burnley's first goal?

Bit harsh of the MOTD commentators to blame Hodgson for the Olise injury. Hodgson is not a doctor. He would have taken advice from the club medical team regarding Olise’s fitness and must have been given the green light

Not always - plenty of managers will pressure an unfit player to play or put pressure on the medical staff to pass someone fit or just outright ignore them. Especially an under pressure 'old school' manager.

Like all industries a lot of managers resort to outright bullying and shifting the blame onto others when their own inadequacies are being exposed. Not to say Hodgson falls into this camp but it's certainly commonplace in football.

Barkley done well today but he gave it away on the edge of the box for their equaliser. Didn't even show it. No way he should play for England

Will look back at his career and kick himself that his most consistent and mature football happened at Luton.
just the kind of player that would be brilliant for us

Do still like barkley and for sure could of done a job for us but do get why people wouldnt have it

The player himself must be partly to blame, nevertheless, the lack of coordination and communication between the manager and his staff, the medical team and the player is a complete shambles.

C'mon Sunderland

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Kalvin Phillips on the bench. He's been Barkley'd for his mistake lol

Kalvin Phillips on the bench. He's been Barkley'd for his mistake lol

Got some great CM options, West Ham. I don’t see how he gets in that team even without his massive ricket the other day.

 

[navidson]

Come on Bournemouth
