Wait till we get Savio over from Girona next season. He never stops going forward when he gets the ball.

It's blatant cheating by the opposition player and blatant cheating by the ref in not awarding the penalty. The influence on refs of morons like Danny Muppet who continue to massage penal offences by suggesting you don't want to give penalties for that. Well, what we saw was every opportunity to HOLD Haarland and the only thing the ref did, which they all do, is wag a finger before the corner is taken. I'd love to here what they say to these perennial foulers - If you are holding him when the kick's taken then I shall award a penalty is what the wanker should say. But Haaland is still grabbed and held and the ref has momentarily forgotten what he said, and what he should do. Holding is a penal offence, and the only conclusion you can offer is that they just don't want to be the ref who gives five pens in one half for a centre forward being held. The first fuckin' thing defenders do at corners is put both arms round the nearest torso. And yet, anywhere outside the area and they will penalise the slightest nudge, whether it was a foul or not. They are politically driven apparatchiks who toe the PiGMOL line and it trashes any notion of what is written in the LotG.

Agreed with most of what you say.

What I don't understand though, is why have we resorted to putting Haaland on the goal line for corners?? He is much more effective starting on the 6 yard line and coming in to meet the ball...

teams stay deep,they dont commit , if they did they would get thrashed, they start at 0-0 and 99% of teams would be delighted if it finished that way, pace wont get behind a defence that sits so deep, passing and movement will, we dont need fast players usually, we need clever players who can see a space and can pick a pass, when teams do need to come out then the faster players are more helpful, control,passing and intelligence has worked for us, i really cant see why people are a bit down at the moment.

Not just that, even when they go a goal down they won't change tactics they'll still defend then if they can keep it at 1 have a go the last 10 minutes.

we actually scored from a corner with dias on goal line against spurs so now school boy corners are staple

The holding on Haaland is getting fucking ridiculous every bloody game. Since when has rugby tackles become part of football ?

Since the PL/PGMOL changed their interpretation of the LOTG at the start of this season to allow more "contact". It was clearly aimed at Haaland who had bullied defenders for fun last season and, by God, is it working as planned ....
