@Darlington was a misclick on Gordan it was supposed to be Isak, i noticed Alvarez was put into my lineup instead of Isak how is that decided? Was isak out aswel? A penalty was missed from my FW who wouldn't have been my penalty taker either

Wolves 2-1 Aston Villa.

Really proud of my players in this game, villa caused a lot of threat and were dangerous throughout the game however our players were patient and battled hard. Our two strikers scored our important goals and it's great that Our main attackers are scoring on a regular bases. Our captain playing in the slightly deeper position is working really well and our new formation seems to suit the way we play. Villa are one of the better sides in the league and a team we probably would not have been expected to get a result against so that makes it even better. Max Weiss is becoming more confident in goal with every game which helps, Vaden has settled into the first team well since his promotion and it seems like he's been there all season. Our whole team now is starting to develop a good understanding and this results keeps us two points outside the relegation places which is where we're aiming to stay.

West Ham 1-1 Brighton

Brighton started sharper and got their reward instantly, with Jarrod Bowen scoring inside 2 minutes after reading the space perfectly. It set the tone for a frantic and scrappy contest with both sides physically aggressive, and Brighton could have gone 2-0 up when Omar Marmoush missed a penalty on 16 minutes. The game flipped on 28 mins when D_Munoz saw red for bringing down Mason Mount clean through – and suddenly West Ham had the initiative.
West Ham probed, but lacked quality in the final action until finally in the 57th minute Malo Gusto arrived perfectly to head in the equaliser from a Kudus delivery, fully deserved.
From there Brighton sat deeper, looked to protect, and relied on Bowen but couldn’t threaten consistently. West Ham created more but missed the clinical edge. Trafford and Meret both came up with key stops.
