"Injury"?? He jumped up and ran at full pace without a hint of a limp or anything!

Fati for Lamptey my preference purely because of the yellow card. And Webster will be useful for the corners/free kicks that are going to be launched into our box.
On at 60/65

Jamie Redknapp just called it in the studio. He said it's the worst tackle he has seen for years and could have been career ending for Mitoma

No VAR and Holegate is still on the pitch!
Up to the 2nd goal it was good. Since then it’s been flicks and tricks and giving the ball away. We then nearly concede to give them hope for the second half. Newcastle put 8 past this lot and Arsenal 5 a couple of weeks ago, and they are down to ten. This game needs to be out of site .

Need a third to feel comfortable. We can blow this.
Yes. We have him on our feed in the USA.
Wilder's post match interview will be interesting if we do actually win this. By interesting, I mean funny to watch that miserable dinosaur blow a gasket.

I would rather have Estupinan for Lamptey, Fati to come on for Buanotte
He gave a yellow card for one of the worst tackles we have ever seen. How is that getting the major calls right?

RDZ maybe enjoying the goals but this has turned into a very high risk injury game for us so he will be looking at the broader picture. Mitoma could have sustained a career defining injury - a Red Card is not enough in those circumstances imo - the player should be fined. Facu and Mitoma should come off imo - Lamptey too because he’s now wound up to the point of getting a second yellow. Let’s bring on Fergie and move Welbz out wide.

I doubt he'll have time to discuss it after he's finished ranting at VAR, the offiicals, Mitoma play acting, the whole world being against him, the lack of respect shown to him by the ball boys.........

The fact it was so ludicrously high saved our man. A little bit lower and the knee could have gone

Not sure it was a career ending tackle for Mitoma, it was on his thigh rather than his knee or lower leg. It could had certainly caused a bloody mess though.
