Long has been a pest as per usual, but mainly in front of our defense which is ideal for us. The fact he is winning headers against Willo and Colo is worrying though.

 

He does that to everyone, he's brilliant in the air for a small lad, bit like Debuchy.

It's a foul for the pull of the shirt. That is it really.

Correct decision imo. It's a clear foul, and a terrible dive.

 

Wrong decision, clear foul with the pull of the shirt, clear dive too.

 

Free kick to us as that is the first foul.

 

Fair enough. Can the ref book Remy for diving afterwards?

 

He can actually yeah, Remy's dive makes the whole thing awkward though. The W.B.A player should go for the pull as it stops a clear goal scoring oppo, but with Remy diving that made that decision a nightmare.  And probably why the Ref bottled the whole thing by giving nothing.

 

Whatever the rights and wrongs, pull, dive etc. It's a clear foul to us and that's what he should've given, free kick on the edge.

 

:thup:

Agree. Trying to demonstrate a foul (that would have been missed/ignored) and wasted a goalscoring opportunity. Even if it had been given, it's a freekick. Daft/lazy from Remy.

 

:thup:

 

No need, and the kind of thing we all slag off when other clubs' players do it.

 

I don't slag off any player if he goes down when the foul is that clear. Still daft to go down, great chance to get a penalty and a red if he keeps going or just simply score.

Not a bad half by any means, and think we deserve the lead, think the defence has been good again. We need a bit more up top though, Remy has been quiet, now to watch us sit back for 45 minutes.

Fair enough, as long as he isnt getting in behind us, we should cope. No pun intended.

Good point  O0 we haven't let them get in behind us. We've kept just about the right depth to our back line.

Colo looks like the biggest liability

 

Coloccini vs Long always shows him up.

 

What has Colo done wrong? The one that went for a goalkick was extremely unlucky as Long miscontrolled it and the ball just bounced of his knee.

A little bit slow to challenge imo, other than that he's been ok.

Worded mine a bit to harshly I think, but this plus the aeial superiority. Just hope the tussle doesn't go into matching their pace

You can't have a sport where players are slamming into the turf every time someone grabs their sleeve for a split second.

Rubbish, he made enough contact to impede the player and lesson his chances of scoring.  Also, there should never be any need to grab another player's shirt.

You can't have a sport where people are pulling others shirts neither.
