How can it be irrelevant ? He was fouled and if he would not have been fouled he would have got away from his man.UpTheClaretsFCBK wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 12:24 pmThat's irrelevant, he shouldn't be in a position where an opposing player can make that challenge in our half. Him and Westwood have cost us goals from those positions.
I know that they have cost us goals this year but that happens with every single team...midfielders often receive the balls in very difficult positions where sometimes they choose to run with the ball rather than pass it even if this is in their own half (it was near the half way line)
Of course that means they can get tackled and put their team in trouble but are there any midfielders in the league who are not trying the same thing near the halfway line at some point in the game as when you do succeed and run away from the player it will often mean that you have an extra player in midfield.
In the case yesterday Cork was fouled so its completely relevant to conceding the first goal yesterday.
despite not having anything much to do
