Should be a red card. Brought down and stopped a goalscoring opportunity

Joke refs

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Feb 03, 2021 7:33 pm

Stephens, just on, could not catch Silva!

Peters brought down by Ederson, way out on the touchline!

Ederson got bored and comes 50yrds out of goal and fouls Pieters

Come on Joel

Chance for Mumbongo

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Wed Feb 03, 2021 7:34 pm

Could have resulted in a goal that. Ederson knew if he didn't get the ball he needed to get the man.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Feb 03, 2021 7:34 pm

Good FK. Defended eventually.

Mumbongo on Rodriguez off

He's a big guy. Let's hope he can use his strength.

Looks like Vyds is going to get 90 mins. He has looked sharp with the limited chances he's had to shine.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Wed Feb 03, 2021 7:36 pm

Pleased to see Mumbongo on

When we are closing them down we are not trying to actually make contact with the ball, not genuinely trying to tackle or dispossess them.
The suggestion would be that if you do you risk committing yourself but they do more damage moving the ball than they do going past the man.
They just use the ball and we are putting no pressure on them on the ball at all.

The stats certainly back that up

Westwood averages less than one tackle per game according to Prem League figures (even Brady and McNeill have more) Brownhill's figures are double that of Westwood

Why on earth do we let them play how they want to play.

The threat of a hard tackle would make them think twice.

We used to be fearless now we play like pussies

Still 5 mins to have a shot on target all is not yet lost.
