    No we aren't.

    He is fairly comfortable on the ball in defence, translate that to the ares of the pitch where you are probably pressed and marked more than any other part of the pitch, other than maybe the striker, and I don't think it would work.

    Yes I guess.. I'm sure the Don's though about it and decided against it... I just don't remember ever seeing it tried. Maybe once we qualify for CL today we could experiment in the last 2 PL games.. 

  2. Has Ezri (auto corrected 😀) ever payed in the CDM role ? I can’t remember seeing him there. Seems like he would be a good replacement whilst Kamara is out - for all the reasons above. Are we missing a trick here?

    I honestly think it's a tangle/coming together rather than a foul. 

    Very surprised it didn't go to VAR but can totally understand the ref's view in the (very fast paced) moment. 

    Yeah but you could say that about most challenges in the box, that lead to pens..

    Problem is no one really knows what is a pen or isn't nowadays

    I think they didn’t give it because Ortega kicked it away.

    Since when did that matter though? I thought it didn't matter if you 'got the ball'... You can't just slide through a player taking them out, and hopefully just touch the ball on your way through.. And it be all OK? 

    If that was the case, our defense could just take out any players at will, as long as they touch the ball at some point

  5. Signing him might have had a fair bit to do with Mark Harrison, who we nicked from heading up West Brom's academy, where Rodgers spent 9 years before going to Man City. 

    He most likely knew all about him.
