walker is completely useless in this now

 

[wolviedinho]

Going to take a worldie to get back into this.

Shame as we started so well.

 

[kanovic]

at this point just start taking shots from outside the box. Maybe we will get lucky. Other than that it’s pointless

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Phil Rico and Nunes on please

 

[01cravend]

Phil will get that space for the edge of.the box special

 

[Sparkys-Army]

Foden and Rico on please. Walker is going be of no use this second half.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Kovacic and Walker are killing us!

Their gameplan of injuring Rodri ruined this game.

Was wondering the same. Looked a little sus to me.

Same going off at ht with Saka.

I love that take.

What is he meant to do, fling them out of the way or charge through them, shoulder lowered?

He’d give away a fucking penalty.

And that is exactly why Arse employ those corner tactics.

Sometimes they will be given as a foul, sometimes they won’t (there is absolutely no consistency, even within matches themselves, from officials), but it always heavily advantages the attacking team.

So when it isn’t called, you increase your chances of scoring substantially.

That is not to say we defended those two corners well—we didn’t.

But allowing the opposition to surround the keeper, with absolutely no recourse to do anything about it, is making a farce of the laws of the game.

They did it all last season as well without any come back.

 

[RobinHood]

Yellow for dissent Martinelli?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

This side could play til Christmas
