ozvilla28 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 It was a puzzling signing at the time and panic buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor touch only you having a laugh and two goals after. Also his performance as a whole was very poor. He was one of the most anonymous players. He had his chance and blew it Edited January 9, 2023 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 He was poor but he’s done alright since coming here. He’s a squad player, at best. I think we’ll be looking at another central midfielder in the Summer to compete with Kamara and Luiz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With pulling the foul is where the pulling ends, which was inside the box. The red card and the penalty are both correct, was 100% Dendoncker doing everything wrong in that situation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Still though the switch off for their corner. Ollie jogging out to block the shot. We know if that was Mings he'd full sprint out. If Mings or Martinez were on the pitch that goal isn't scored. If Kamara is the one passed to by Olsen he doesn't miscontrol. Dendoncker is a decent player and was a decent price. He plays multiple positions and is big. He's useful for the squad and he made a mistake yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh, you're right, I didn't know this rule but it is in the laws: If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick. https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-12---fouls-and-misconduct 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it was poor play but no one is ever ever ever going to convince me that it's a good idea to play the ball to a player in the middle of the pitch just outside the penalty area with his back to the field of play surrounded by opposition players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be not the greatest choice by Olsen, but that goal is 100% on Dendoncker. He had plenty of time to pass it back to Olsen, he just missed his first touch and **** up.

Seriously. What the **** is this decision making to give him the ball By the time it gets to him he's got two men closing him down, and anything less than a perfect first touch, and he's in trouble He has to do better with his first touch, but it was madness, Olsen throws him under the bus What option does he really have? Back to Olsen and he's getting closed down and can't pick it up, over to Digne and it's being intercepted. Best option is probably over to his left but he's turned away from them. Best option with what he knows was probably a one touch pass back to Olsen, but that just highlights how stupid it was to give it to him in the first place Edited January 9, 2023 by Davkaus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted January 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yeah I initially attributed most of the blame to Dendoncker but on reflection, it’s probably shared pretty equally with Olsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the pass from Emi to Luiz vs. Brighton, right in the same area too with a player closing them down from behind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
