Is it me, or are quite a few clubs playing players out of position to " strengthen" the first eleven.
 
Not seen any of the games as I was golfing but the comments for the United game (yes it was slow out there) suggested it was a deserved straight red so will have to catch the highlights on SSN or MOTD2. Sounds like a barmstormer first half at Goodison. Massive for Arsenal to get a win tomorrow or I think they can kiss any hope of top four goodbye

I could be wrong but did I see a stat that Lukaku has reached XX League goals (100?) quicker/younger than Ronaldo (maybe and/or Rooney)? Not playing for one of the top clubs that's pretty impressive IMO......

If you did then I suggest you ignore it.
Lukaku plays as a striker whereas Ronaldo was played out wide, it'd be a meaningless comparison.

The stat was players that have scored 50 PL goals before the age of 23, Lukaku became the 4th youngest, Ronaldo also did it but was slightly older, it had nothing to do with position played, just age.
 
Caught the Larsson challenge and very dubious red card. Can't see how that was reckless or endangering an opponent especially as the first contact was to play the ball. Poor decision in my view and wonder if Sunderland will appeal it

Not at all, you've moved the goalposts to suit your point :blah::blah::cheers:

You selectively picked a third of the post to prove yours :thup:

You still don't have any current top strikers :ears:

Performances like he put in yesterday is in some ways the most frustrating part about him, he's always had the potential to be one of the best in Europe, the Sunderland fans up here have always say on his day he is one of the best keepers they'd ever had.

Really...one of the best in Europe, no way. Nor do I think he's one of the best they've had, better were Thomas Sorensen, and going further back they've had Tony Norman, Chris Turner and what about Jim Montgomery. Even Young Jordan Pickford is better. So no, he's a long way down the list
