Sunderland have been pressing us a bit harder than most of the teams we’ve faced in this league so far, and I feel that if there’s a way we can be got at, that’s probably it. Of course, it comes with danger to the opposition because if their press fails we have can strike very quickly, which is probably why not many others have tried it at this level (it will be different in the PL, but that’s for another epoch).
We’ve dealt with it pretty well so far, and I suspect that like other teams, Sunderland will tire and hopefully we’ll get more goals in the later stages of the match.
Yes, it should have been a penalty.
