Need to appeal that

Ok can someone explain what Cucu did to get sent off?

BBC reporting a second yellow for a shove on Schade.

Surely we can appeal this second yellow? That Brentford d**khead is pushing him with his arm and Cucurella slaps it away in self defence. Should never be a yellow for me.

Not smart, but that sh*t happens every game and this ref is being a a$$hole

I'm not sure that he did anything though.

He's shoved Schade after he refused to shake his hand. He should have just left it and walked off.

Someone praises Tosin and Mbeumo skins by him to score.

I knew Mbeumo would score.

7 added minutes...pi$$ off not again!

I take back my praise

Why are several of yoy saying this? You cannot appeal yellow cards.

Who goes in at Everton.  Veiga, presumably.  That's concerning.

It's the first time I'm hearing of this tbh 😂

He could just walk away. Let Schade push him, we've won the game, if he wants to be a poor loser, let him be. It's stupid from Cucurella to raise his hands.

So we can go top next week?

We can indeed !

And if Spurs can then get at least a point at home to Liverpool, we'll stay top for Christmas !

It’s a suspension so maybe it can be appealed?

Sadly Scott is right. Ref still being a tw@t but Cucu should not have given him the chance.

Doesn't matter either way, he's not going to win the appeal. He shoved him.

How long is he suspended for after that? He's already picked up one suspension for picking up 5 yellows this season. Is that a 2 game ban now?

Gusto left back.  Caicedo right back?

That was very stupid from Cucu...

So next game, it's either Veiga at LB (which is his position but never played a game for us there) or Gusto (who's really bad at the left) and Caicedo inverting again, and that only if Lavia is fit...

It would be Gusto inverting as a CAM if it’s Veiga at LB/LCB and that drives our head in. 

Unless Caicedo and Enzo play again.

Big win that but we need to kill themselves games sooner. Players need to use their heads more. Noni seems to be on a one man mission to have the most shots blocked in Prem history. Play like that too often and we'll come unstuck. Can't see us finishing above Pool but 2nd would be nice after these last few seasons

Don't think we can appeal second yellows.

Inadvertently though Veigas height against a Dyche set up may not be the worst thing in the world.

Shame Cucurella is out for Everton but if we got Lavia back we should have far too much for them to deal with. 

Thought Maresca left the midfield far too open at times today, especially in the second half with Enzo completely abandoning Caicedo in midfield but we hung on by the skin of our teeth and this was a big win!

Caicedo and Cucurella our best again I thought. As for Cole he obviously pops up with goals and assists and brilliant moments but I reckon he should spend some time in the gym this winter. Now that he's got more attention to him he's a bit too easy to knock of the ball and even his touch is quite loose at times. Thought he was really poor today.

Brilliant win against a good side.

We would have lost that last season and before.

Should have been much easier than it was but we got over the line.

Palmer wasn't poor. Maybe in the first half, but not the second. He should have had like 3 assists at least in that half. Slipped in Jackson and Sancho who both messed up their chances, and put in two excellent crosses from freekicks, one Tosin put wide, and the other nobody gambled. Also, he would have scored if Jackson got out of the way when he was offside and just let Palmer tap it in.

We’ve grown some balls but still a lot of immaturity in the squad. 
 

Tosin with one of the most brainless moments. 

He had a couple.. We knew that before the game started 

A good win but weirdly I feel deflated about Cucurella's red card - takes the gloss off a big victory a little bit.

That's not on Maresca, it is on Fernandez ... just like it was last season ...
