But he didn't grow up being a full back did he. The handball rule is a lottery. Just smash crosses and shots in and you have a small chance it strikes a defender's arm. It's instinct at small distances to protect yourself. It's an involuntary response that is difficult to overcome. To overcome it, you have to hold your arms down consciously. That's learned defensive behaviour.

It's not a lottery if you stick your arm up above your forehead, no. Just do it for me now, how natural does it feel? If it was something that was truly difficult to overcome you'd see it happening frequently but you don't.

I'm sorry mate you're a good poster and agree with a lot of what you say on here but there's absolutely no defending that action from him, it was stupid and selfish and weak.

We can't fix everything in 1/2 windows. And I have turned into a Nunes fan simply because he showed huge courage last season. He conceded a very unlucky pen at BHA. I want him to come good.

My hope is that Donnarumma comes in and helps our players be better. He will give them confidence. I like too that we are moving players on so that younger players can have a genuine chance in the side.

Nunes acted with no courage yesterday. You say the penalty was unlucky, what has he got his hands in the air for it's a blatant penalty.

It just proves that he’s not defensive minded in the slightest. He’s rightly getting called out for his handball but there was a moment after that which sums him up as a RB.

Trafford came to collect the ball and clearly screams at Nunes to leave it. Nunes saw Trafford coming and decides to pass him the ball from a yard away. Trafford then has to react and hoof the ball away instead of picking it up.

I like Nunes, he tries his best and has the athleticism to play the position. However, he’s not a natural full back and his mentality is what is costing us points.

Correct, I was livid at that level of stupidity and unawareness from him.
