Sinclair injured?
Looked like hamstring
Yep chased a overplayed pass which the linesman decided to flag offside once he had run 20 yards to get it.
Looked like a twinge but they don't take any risk, hopefully its nothing more than that.
Yes but it was an impact injury from a tackle.
Yep which is why the rule is daft, especially as he was chasing it into the corner and there is no VAR.
Aye making a tackle he didn't need to make if the flag went up
The rule needs to exist if there is VAR but at our level I don't really understand it.
I'd play Maguire there and start Riis

If it means makin runs instead of being used to hold the ball up, then yeah, as his hold up play today, was erm.....well shite to be honest, an alot of that was to his feet!! Better from you Maguire next time out please!

His movement is always good, it's his holding the ball up that can sometimes be an issue, but it wasn't all in the air today, it was at his feet. Think Atkinson mentioned it in commentary, he really needed to hold the ball up better as moves kept breaking down. Having said that, his movement causes problems alone though
I'd have left him on and just had one of Riis or Stockley come one who just looked lost.
Think losing Sinclair fucked up that substitution a bit.

His movement is always pretty good but he no longer has the pace to make his movement very effective.
The main problem with him as a no.9 is with his back to goal he gives the ball away too often and he is no longer a serious goal threat.
He’s better off the left but that is obviously Sinclair‘s position. I would give Maguire that role and start Riis up front whilst Sinclair is injured.
