  1. McLaughlin looks a very good shot-stopper. That point-blank save in the second half was outstanding.  

     

    He's atrocious with his feet, though! (Even Sunderland fans were saying similar - and you wouldn't expect them to be playing out from the back.)

     

    Very good deputy, though; very pleased with that signing. 

  2. 3 minutes ago, der Berliner said:

    That last goal was probably the way SG wants us to play and score goals ... only that when it is about points, defenders will jump in more and it gets more nasty. So while this is good to see, we ned people like Hagi (and probably Murphy) trying a shot from the edge of the area ... or when sight of the target.

    What are you talking about!?

     

    We're gonna win the Europa League! :D

  3. I've noticed a couple of differences in the way we're playing.

     

    I think it's more of a narrow front three, a la Liverpool, rather than the noticeable 2 in behind Morelos. They're all quite fluid too, which is nice to see.

     

    I think the wide midfielders (Kamara, Aribo) are overlapping, which I don't think we saw last season. 

     

    Is Tavernier sitting deeper? Barasic is high and wide, but Tavernier not so much. Structural change, to defend against the counter? One full back goes, the other stays back, maybe?

  4. It almost went under the radar for me, but Nigel Pearson has been sacked by Watford. 

     

    I don't care for the guy, but I'm surprised. There was definite improvement under Pearson. Even if they do get relegated -- which wasn't certain -- he seems to be a good candidate to get them back up.

     

    At least give him the remainder of the season - the caretakers they have now appointed are inexperienced. They're almost giving themselves the best chance of relegation.
