I think the general rule is 5th red to a player on the field forces a forfeit. In addition to that you can have staff members and players on the bench red carded, but they don't count towards the forfeit rule.

@Greg_J: Yup game defaults/is abandoned if less than 7 are on.

Man such a frustrating game never seen anything like this. Should have ended with something like 8 vs. 8 players somehow the asshole referee managed to make it an 11 vs 8. Never seen anything like this since Hoyzer. "Let's get drunk and travel 500km to Regensburg" is what my friends said. "It's gonna be fun". It wasn't

Every goal Morata scored was assisted by Dave iirc. Impressive
|
Dave assist Morata goal helloooo

I am drunkenly learning some German geography trying to follow TheNewEra's posts. I had previously never heard of Regensburg. Looks very pretty I really have to visit Germany one day.
Meanwhile Exeter City travel to the once mighty/ish Coventry looking for our 7th League win in a row.
edit: Chirst I need to stop spelling our as are if I want to remain an English teacher.

Germany is filled with places like Regensburg, quite the nice country to tour. People are very friendly too.

How good is Lukaku? I never really considered him world class before. But he just keeps doing it.

he's a really, really solid and consistent finisher and a pretty complete striker. Whether he's world class depends how exclusive you consider that term imo. but somewhere around top 10-20 strikers?
|
He was doing it at Everton with a lot less support last year.
Everton meanwhile really aren't doing well with out him. Bournemouth now lead at Goodison Park

Lol Alonso losing his head within 10 mins. No idea why. Maybe cuz its a cold windy day...should have been sent off for that throw in imo.
On Lukaku, I think he is top quality. Technically good, so he is not just a target man. He finally has a chance to prove himself as a first team striker in a top club

So far United have had a easy run on the premier, so he hasn't been able to prove that wrong yet. It's already a big difference if ManU doesn't draw the smaller teams like last season though.

Weird reading the reports of the Coventry Exeter game. We have all the possession but haven't had a single shot even off target. Coventry meanhwile have had 9. So are we just playing keep ball and never attacking? How can you have no shots not even off target with 60% possession?

Lol dave. Another assist for morata

It's OK, Niasse is a poor man's Lukaku. A very, very poor man's Lukaku, but he's bailing Everton out currently. I seem to recall he scored a few at Hull last year when he went there on loan, too.

Come on you Eagles! Keep breaking records!

I think criticism is unjustified. How do you appear when your isolated upfront because your team is Everton and obviously can't help control the game against top clubs. You can't expect lukaku to do everything alone.

So many good strikers this season in top teams... Lukaku, Aguero, Kane, Morata... golden boot is gonna be fun

and falcao back in form also apparently! 11 goals in 7 matches for him. :D

Coventry inflict Exeter's first loss of the season. Maybe we should try shooting next time.
United unimpressive but won. That's all that counts. Didn't watch Chelsea or CIty games but the scores look impressive.
edit: Wow there's plenty of room to choose your seat at VIlla park these days. Looks like a La Liga stadium just sit where you like.
