I would of only made one change & that would of been Gardner for McClean. can't believe he left on Bardsley & Cuellar. hopefully both of them are drop for next mondays game. we should beat Stoke.
Easy to say with Hindsight isn't it - why didn't Graham go down when Vlaar dragged him away from the ball in the box? If he had fallen over he'd have given the ref a decision to make at 1-1 and if he had then the outcome would probably have been a whole lot different as a sucker punch like that would likely have knocked the stuffing out of Villa Cuellar has been decent in recent weeks but was woeful last night - was it the fact that we were playing his old side?? Mangane in for Cuellar next Monday for me and Gards dropped back into Right Back - I'm a Bardsley fan most of the time but he was terrible as well last night. McClean for Bardsley, Gardner to RB and Mangane for Cuellar and I'd be happy
That was one of the most ridiculous red cards I have ever seen. It wasn't even a yellow card. It was a foul but nothing more. It's getting completely stupid now red cards for things like this. You should definitely appeal (if you haven't already). To lose one of your best players for 3 matches for that is complete bollocks.
It was one of those that looks worse slowed down. At full speed, it looked like he tried a bit of skill, but just missed out.
