In a way it reflects a few things such as teams defending the edge of the box therefore wanting to avoid pens and free kicks. It reflects the speed we move the ball rather than running with it, this inviting the tackle. It’s less the number of fouls but the recklessness of some of them that are either not seen or wrongly sanctioned.that were only 7th most fouled team says it all the bent bastards only give us free kicks after attempted murder
I think some of it is also the fact we are normally breaking fast when the fouls commited so he plays the advantage and also if sterling is fouled they don't give itIn a way it reflects a few things such as teams defending the edge of the box therefore wanting to avoid pens and free kicks.

Yes 100% VAR. I’m not sure anyone thought the Bennett one was a straight red at the time. Looked a yellow in real time on TV from the camera angle. It was only the closer view from a different angle showed how bad it was. As for the others e.g. Matt Phillips that was a clear as day red.
Is the wrong answerWaste of time. We should be resorting to the dark arts. People need to know that assaulting one of our players has consequences beyond requesting a pointless hearing with some mealy-mouthed apologists.

I agree with what you’re saying but I think they hope it would act as a deterrent to committing the fouls in the first place - unless you’re Troy Deeney and you fancy Christmas and New Year off...
Pfft ref gave a throw-in, apparently not even a foul.It’s time we dealt with this issue. We should be complaining about 10. I’d add Bournmouth’s Daniels on Gabby Jesus. Gabby was sent flying by that one. Was he given just a yellow?
I’d fully support re-visiting yellows and
unpunished dangerous fouls.
