Re: Ref watch on Sky

The audio is nonsense and shows a total lack of understanding of the game. VAR states Trafford could have jumped for the ball. Trafford was still in his movement phase, positioning himself under the ball getting ready to jump, but he wasn't in the right place to jump and claim it. If he'd jumped at ...

Re: Muric

Also some of Muric's 'great' saves today cames as a result of him not coming out and claiming the ball in the first place. If he comes out and takes the cross then the need for a flying save is gone. He is an incredibly poor goalkeeper. You either have it or you don't and he definitely doesn't have ...

Re: Sheff U vs Burnley Match Thread

The problem with Muric is that he is where defensive confidence starts. He instils none and that then permeates through the young defence in front of him. If he came and claimed balls he would take pressure off the defence and they would relax and play better. He doesn't command or communicate. A ke...
