You would think with only 2 games to cover that they would manage to include all of the main events in each of the games. Rarely bother watching MOTD these days so can't really offer any definitive views.Stones scored against Monaco from a corner,Sergio got our 4th against Huddersfield.
Not that it really matters.
Hopefully in the return game against Monaco.Yeah, but apart from those 3 in the last 3 games, when will we ever score from a corner?
It would be nice to see Silva get some protection from refs, to prolong his career.
You can see his frustration in games where he's getting lumps kicked out of him (and no bookings) and finally he retaliates
And goes straight in the book.
Maybe Pep should raise this in a press conference.
But it generally takes at least 4 or 5 fouls by the same player to get him booked, whereas Silva's first is generally a yellow card, eg, Everton away.Not sure that is the reason he normally ends up in the book. Pep has in the past spoken of how competitive Dave is in general play a sort of winning mentality he has.
He naturally gets stuck in and often fouls his way into the book. A player of his class is always going to attract fouls because nine times out of ten the only way to get the ball off him is to commit a foul.
Sorry if its been covered but could someone tell my why Silvas goal was ruled out, seems like it was given for offside but was clearly on, it does not seem to have been discussed on tv no suprise there then.
Stones 4th against MonacoJohn Stones v Huddersfield (4th goal).
Silva wasn't but Sterling was. As soon as Sterling moved towards the ball and impeded the Sunderland defender (which he definitely did) he became active and was thus offside. Referees and Assistants get plenty of rightful grief but that was a correct decision and if it had been at the other end and been allowed we'd have been apoplectic with rage!

We scored two goals from corners against Monaco.This is a very good point.
When will we ever score from a corner.
This has been mentioned for the last 5 years.
And you don't think its cynical when the opposition target his ankles with scrapes, kicks and stamps then?Sometimes he does take people out though - several of his cards are for being a bit cynical, same as Sterling.
I know he won't, but when he retires he wants to give the FA a good fucking in the press for the treatment overseas players get in regards English or rag players.And you don't think its cynical when the opposition target his ankles with scrapes, kicks and stamps then?

I've also seen @squirtyflower 's reply, and agree with his comments.Sometimes he does take people out though - several of his cards are for being a bit cynical, same as Sterling.

To go back to the Everton away game, that young thug Davies fouled him around 6 or 7 times, at least 2 or 3 were cynical tackles from behind, all worthy of a yellow card. Each of these were far worse than the trip (his only foul of the match!) by Silva. Even the commentator said that a yellow card should have been the result of his first "challenge", but the referee, the soon-to-be Saudi Prince Mark Clattenburg, merely gave the free kick, and thus gave Davies a licence to kick him at every opportunity.. Remember, he also ignored a blatant penalty by the keeper on Stirling at 0-0 and we eventually lost 4-0. It would have been so different if the Laws of the game had been correctly observed. but that is covered in a separate thread.

Stones against Hudders and didn't we get a couple against Monaco?

Fair enough thanks for your response.Silva wasn't but Sterling was. As soon as Sterling moved towards the ball and impeded the Sunderland defender (which he definitely did) he became active and was thus offside.
