I saw it after he scored like you said a great goal trying to wind up the. Kop, he should have been booked for that.

First half was really good, start of the second as well….until the substitutions and we lost all momentum. Bostock for Austin was a poor change, as was Warner for Macari, unless there were other reasons.
It was an enjoyable game to watch, he is learning slowly, maybe too slowly for his job.
could not have put my point across better an excellent post. anybody who has played the game could not agree more. conclusion SM is not up to the job
I did find it interesting that their manager - getting a LOT of flack from their fans for the "unnecessary" changes in their goalkeeper lineup(!) - took vocal responsibility for what he saw as the failings that sat on his shoulders.
I certainly didn't think the substitutions helped yesterday.
We were flying at 2-1 up and certainly didn't look tired, which makes me wonder whether the coaching team had an excessively 'fixed' or pre-planned idea of the number of minutes certain players would play, instead of reading the mood and momentum of the game.
If Austin was genuinely spent and couldn't run a minute longer, then Bostock certainly wasn't the right replacement for him - O'Brien would have been a far better choice. Likewise, Jaden Warner didn't strengthen an already weak defence and lazily played MK Dons' forward onside for their third goal by being caught too deep.
At the moment, SM seems to have the knack of making too many decisions that hinder the team rather than helping them, and that needs to change.
LW had his flaws with substitutions if I remember rightly. One game he used them all then we lost a man to injury
