So banned for an additional match and fined 100k

he's old enough to know better....

One of the highest fines given to a player, Mitrovic got a 75k fine for pushing over the ref.

£100k fine for saying something? That’s effin ridiculous, what could he have possibly said to warrant that? Must have been horrific

Before the season started everyone was told that the refs are going to crack down on bad behaviour and abusive language from players and managers. As long as the refs are consistent with it I don't mind as it's got a little out of hand over recent years.

VVD very shaky again tonight against a fairly limited Ireland front man. He really doesn't inspire confidence these days

Anyone think VVD is showing signs of how good he was prior to his injury.

He was great in the 21/22 season after his injury. The season we were very nearly all conquering. Everyone except for Ali was below par last year.

Yeah  . He's getting back to the player he once was. I think since being brutally assaulted by that kunt of a keeper Pickford and then having months out ,mentally more than physically it's taken him more time to get over his terrible injury. After his return, at times, it's looked as though he's been a bit shy of going in hard , perhaps not wanting to risk another serious injury.
He does however now seem to have put that concern behind him and as Team Captain is now vocally and physically getting better game by game

No. However I also don't think that he was so terrible last season either. Everyone was out of form including him and the team as a whole was bad. Some people went as far as saying that he needed replacing but I still thought he was among the best defenders in the league and the world, but simply in a bad form, along with the whole team. 

Pre-injury Virgil however, was out of this world. Not just the best defender but probably the best player on the planet, even with Messi still going strong. He should have won the balon d'or that year, he was that good and for me the best modern day defender. Sadly it didn't last too long, but he's still a phenomenal player no doubt.

Having a great season, probably his best since his injury by that tw@t at Everton.
