  1. So, does a free kick coach work on both the attacking and defending of free kicks? I somehow thought McPhee only dealt with attacking. And those have improved. But are the defending free kicks part of his responsibility?
  2. That last line is quite the condemnation. You must not have read any of my posts.
  3. Honestly think any of the three subs could easily deserve MOTM, but it's hard for me to give MOTM to someone who only plays 45 of it, after the opponent is tiring. On that bias alone, I gave it to Torres.
  4. I'm going to disagree. The more obvious first. When he threw the ball away to delay a throw in, the WH were screaming for a caution and to be consistent, the ref should have given it, having just booked them for delaying our restart. I agree with you that he was pulled back, but the ref did not call it. The problem was, after the ball was away, he waited until the defender was stepping over him and then jumped up into the oppenents leg and then squared up like he had been offended. It was stupid as it gave the referee the easy out of booking them both. If he had just waited to stand up rather than trying to jump into the opponent, or even just acted like the whole thing was just a coming together it would be much more intelligent and controlled.
  5. I think Zani has some great potential, but he gets and earns stupid cautions every single match. Could have (perhaps should have) gotten a second stupid caution for a red today (throwing the ball away). Having passion deos not mean that you can't also be too smart to risk stupid cards.
  6. the block was brilliant. Celebrating it so emphatically was the icing.
  7. Thank you for reminding me that VT can always find a way to moan. Even when the manager tries something and makes the right subs when the roster is threadbare, and we've pulled back to a draw and showing some attacking menace, use that exact time to complain about a decision the manager made 2 hours ago. Find the cloud i every silver lining.
  8. When a player leaves the ground and is pushed in the air. it's not being bullied, it's being fouled. Can't be a fair charge if the man doesn't have his feet on the ground. VAR didn't give it. I doubted they would.
  9. the first VAR (no handball) was atrocious, but in fairness the second (handball) was equally atrocious. Equally inept.
  10. I understand that some of you hate when posters blame the referee. What I hate worse is when posters slag off our own players and manager. You can say Rogers should have marked the wing more closely than he did on the goal (fact), without stating that he's dross, useless, needs replaced immediately. I understand passion, but I really struggle to understand venom at our own players and manager. (Another Unai experiment isn't working! As if he wasn't forced to think outside the box.) I wouldn't change a thing (yet) except tell the back line and the pivot to move the ball more quickly, look for the long ball over the top more quickly, and get the ball to Leon and Ollie, Jhon, Rogers all get in the box for the cross or deflection. We're not out of this, just need to execute a bit better.
