What you can achieve as a team when you keep 11 men on the pitch. Draws against Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool etc and a win against Sheff Utd. It ain't rocket science.

And all of them not sendings off! VAR stinks. First time yesterday we got the rub of the green. I was sure O’shea Was going to go for that great tackle on Henderson.
I’m afraid allardyce has no control over VAR.
I think you could see yesterday that Allardyce had drummed it into them ...” don’t get sent off FFS”. ... there were no petulant outbursts.... no reckless tackles ..... good to see tbh
I clocked this aswell.
I’ve never seen us ‘stand up’ so much. I’m old fashioned, I love ball winning challenges but the more I see of the modern game the more it’s becoming a gamble to tackle. With the likes of Jack Greilish (at it again yesterday v Chelsea) who look to go down to try create an advantage at every opportunity never has it been more important to stay on your feet.
As an aside, did anyone see the Leeds v Burnley game recently? a game Burnley would have won 10 years ago if Referee/VAR decision making hadn’t of ruined the game so much, instead they lost it, same with us away to a Man Utd recently.
Bitter sweet, glad we’re becoming more streetwise but another nail in the coffin of the ‘old school’ game I grew up with.
