I swear if Everton score that goal it gets disallowed for a push on the keeper. Yes, I'm paranoid

You're not paranoid, but they are all out to get you!

Shows how poor the offside rule is ,it takes that long to disallow it.

Must have tried to allow it I assume.

One look that should take there’s two of them offside.

They don't touch the ball though. It then comes down to are they interfering? If he touches it, it's factual. As he doesn't it becomes a judgement.

He does give the keeper a little shove.
Grealish has hold of his arm, so the keeper is aware of him.

Imo if your in the six yd box your interfering with the defence positions etc.
All this not interfering is a joke, same as the handball rule.

Ignoring my bitterness, Ndyiae is having a cracking match. Fabulously low centre of gravity and ability to hold onto the ball.

Yes he’s good to watch!

Does he give him more or less of a shove than the one on Pickford for the second goal?

No but he’s offside Van DeVen wasn’t!

But the goal wasnt disallowed for a foul, it was disallowed for offside.

In all likelihood, Everton would probably have still scored had the offside player not been there. But, there is no certainty on that. He did touch and move the GK position. So, he was interfering, whether ball would have gone in anyway or not.

I just dont understand the offside player's logic. He must have intentionally ran towards keeper to distract him? So, if he is offside, he'll get penalised if he is successful in doing what he is attempting

Defended well and took their chances... crikey, not very Spursy

You shouldn't be in any trouble. I'm not convinced the season will finish with you in second though .

Bet you would take mid table right now if you could lock it in.

My son in law would be delighted if Sunderland just avoided relegation. Living the dream at the moment.

Big shout out to Sanne Lammens. I thought he was an error and would have preferred the experience of Martinez. In an ideal world I’d have bought both and had Lammens learning from Martinez and being one for the future.

Fully expect Lammens to make some errors given his age and that all keepers do but I already have so much more confidence when the ball goes towards him. Onana and Bayindir took me back to the days of Bosnich when you had to hold your breath every time the ball went anywhere near him as you couldn’t be sure what he was going to do!!

So far Lammens has looked solid, made things look relatively straight forward and hopefully continues to do so.

Of all the criminal decisions over the years to give Onana another year as first choice was up there with the worst. Lammens isn't even a top keeper but he's a massive upgrade.

Just seen Bournemouth's first goal. Horrific goalkeeping

You're being kind.

He was (very softly) impeded by Tyler Adams but should have done much better. Sels (and the entire squad) is devoid of any confidence at the minute. Attacking players want to do anything but shoot, and we're just making stupid mistakes.

Hopefully a week's training without interruption will give us a better chance of getting something next week (although playing United at completely the wrong time )

Surely no one touches him if this loan spell doesn’t work out.
Comes across as a complete .

It really does make me chuckle watching that. I said when he left City he was a Bertie big boots. But i was supposed to be bitter coz he had gone.
Again Foden stayed and he was slated for being a low used sub.
Sancho has always been a poor man’s sturridge. He is so full of himself.

I’ve genuinely never seen him have a good game.
Yet he struts around like he’s Ronaldo levels.

Unfortunately that's what a £300k a week long term contract does to you. Rashford went the same way for a long time but he at least had pace and power, Sancho has great dribbling ability but nothing else. Appalling attitude.
