Seems pretty aggressive to me. I hope you roll your eyes and blow out a big sigh when you say that sort of thing to someone face to face. It's things like this that change the atmosphere of a conversation from light hearted banter into an uncomfortable conversation or an argument. It's an interesti...

Regularly fluctuating between completely different defensive setups isn't ideal IMO. But say it was, have you "dared to consider" that still doesn't address the fact that the squad we had didn't fit the 5-2-2-1 formation and that the recruitment appears to have compounded that issue more than it ha...

If "jfc" means what I think it does, that's a bit more than clear speaking.

Well it is 2 am my time and I’m being asked why I can’t point someone in the exact direction of a rule.

Forgive me for being exasperated

Would still not start the count - I was in a meeting with PGMO last week and it was clear that any such movement from an opposition player would result in the count not starting.

This is exactly what I’ve been trying to say

I'm posting on the topic. If this was not a post made by me, but by someone else would you disagree with the points being made? When we have so many wingers, why choose a formation which doesn't use wingers and then also sign two more? The former is a question of Parker's tactical choice, the latte...

Not their best song.

Agreed!

CharlieinNewMexico

Why are you being so aggressive? I just asked if you could help to point me in the direction of the rule because I tried Google and IFAB and can’t find the law you’re referring to. Nice exchange though, thanks. I am not the expert on the rule you are referring to. I just saw it in practice. I sugge...

He can tell the ref to change his decision, for a start.

The fourth official? Thought he just controlled the dugout area

Gotta love those PGMOL people. Playing Sunderland again also. Anthony Backhouse. Shocker.

What can he do as the guy that holds up the boards though???

CharlieinNewMexico

Google didn’t help which is why I asked if you could point me in the direction of this law. This leads me to believe that it doesn’t exist, and players are free to follow the goalkeeper around the penalty area like they always have been. I’m not your mother. I’m sure if you cared enough you could g...

I’m sure Google can help

Just happened in the Man U game. Keeper had it, Gyokeres went to stand on him, instant indirect free kick. How far away can you stand from the goalie where you aren’t physically preventing him from playing the ball but are putting doubt into his mind that dropping the ball to his feet is the best o...

CharlieinNewMexico

It depends on how Parker is planning on setting us up. If the 5-2-2-1 formation is going to be the main one then we need an athletic right wing back (if Walker is going to be the right sided CB) and a physically dominant CB (like Cresswell that RVClaret suggested) to play in the middle of the back ...

I didn’t see that, but what do you mean by stand on the keeper? I can’t see any reason why an attacker can’t follow a goalkeeper around his area as long as he’s not preventing the keeper from playing the ball.

The reason is since this rule change you’re not allowed to do it anymore

CharlieinNewMexico

Thank you! I knew I’d read you couldn’t just stand on the keeper. Ashington didn’t say that you can’t stand on the keeper, he said you can’t prevent him from playing the ball. This doesn’t mean a player can’t stand next to the keeper to prevent him from dropping the ball at his feet. [/quote] Just ...

Take our chances

CharlieinNewMexico

The Esteve header was behind him. Anthony made it look like a difficult chance Foster blocked? Is that the one wide and outside the penalty area? Not even a half chance 1. Still a proper chance 2. Still a proper chance 3. Clean through and heading into the top corner but Romero blocked it. Unless y...

Anthony from 6 yards? Foster blocked by Romero? Esteve free header from 4 yards? Proper chances.

Would be better to get a few gone permanently. The chances of this lad ever playing for us are slim to none. I agree with the sentiment but it’s hard to sell a lad on a 4 year contract on a decent wedge. If Dutch / Belgian football is his level very few of those clubs could afford him and why shoul...

Agreed and I assume it will be for players who have run down their contracts waiting for the panic to start and hence the price rise. I just hope we are in for Eriksen and Vardy. Also, once the big clubs get who they want in, we can then offer a loan for players currently surplus to their requireme...

Came as a shock to the keeper let me tell you.
Suddenly had to defend a corner.
Defense were mad af.

We didn’t try to be more aggressive against Leeds or Sunderland last season, what makes you think we will be next?

Last year we simply needed to neutralize them to remain in the running.

This year we will need to pick them off to secure safety.

Clear now?

Gerry Peyton looks absolutely massive in that pic.

Confident! (Of being 17th) We have the advantage that we played as an effective unit last season and for me established teamwork is more important than Leeds or Sunderland buying 12 new players and having to start all over again.

I think Josh Cullen, with the right people around him, is a good enough footballer for the Prem. Of course he might struggle against top 8, but with pace around him, out ball options (maybe Walker and Q if we play 5 at the back, for example), he will be one of the least of our problems. He finished...

There’s also one about Campobasso, in Serie C.
