Nobody did

Commentator said he was booked. But then apparently corrected himself later

A cold night, but such a comfortable win.

I’ll have to watch that clearance back from Struijk, looked fantastic from where I was.

Like I said above. Nobody saw the yellow card. It was a mistake by the commentator who said he'd been booked.

Im losing patience though with Meslier. Too often he doesnt commit when coming off his line

Well worth a closer look. It was as good as a goal of the month contender.

Made a couple of good saves afterwards to make up for it

Good old Dan. Thats how to finish, brilliant lob.

Gave the keeper no chance of saving it by hitting a shot straight at him,

Piroe was very good tonight.

And yes Piroe was, his link play was brilliant, some lovely passes and touches.

A pass accuracy of over 90% playing against a packed defence shows how much care he took.

Very unlucky not to have an assist or two.

He's done that a few times now. Really surprised everyone with a shot / or type of shot you wouldn't expect. Thinking back to last year when he scored from his own half.

Most of us in agreeance today. Thought Piroe was top class. Getting into key areas and contributing to play all over the pitch.

I've said it a few times. Norwich, Sunderland and today. He looks a class complete number 9. But he disappears in too many games. Not sure if it's something to do with the way the opposition sets up. But I wish, I wish, we could see this version of Piroe on a regular basis.

Who was the dickhead commentator for our game tonight?

I nearly choked on my sandwich when reading the comments about Rodon's supposed booking on the journey back home.

13 goals last season. 3 goals & 3 assists this season.

Dan has scored some crackers in those 16 goals.

As good a finisher as Piroe in my opinion.

He's pretty fearless in front of goal. Takes some bold shots that catch everyone by surprise. But also unselfish as we saw with 3 (officially 2) assists against Swansea

Idk who that was. But it was a big goof. We were all fuming because we knew what a yellow card would mean

That said. I think Wober is fully ready and a more than adequate fill in. So I'm not too worried about it.

Rodon made two stupid challenges that could have resulted in a booking. Pushing players in the back when they're going nowhere. He needs to stop it.

That's true of the incident when the commentator said he'd been booked. Unnecessary as you say. He threw his arms up and remonstrated dramatically. Would have certainly been a harsh booking. But on 4 yellow cards it's the kind of thing he needs to avoid.

A couple of his yellow cards this season have been avoidable. I'm sure Farke talks about it. He benched Rodon for a game when he got sent off last season.

No knock on Rodon's qualities. It's the fact that he is such a key player that we don't want to see him missing games for silly reasons.
