Aye. Bruno is usually quite good at it. But makes it too obvious at times.
 

Longstaff wins a lot of fouls, too. But he is so unconvincing and needs to stop in the wrong areas. To the point where for Pope’s double save against Dortmund. He actually did get fouled. But it looked like a massive dive :lol: he was looking over his shoulder wanting the contact. Then seemed to go down like a mortgage. 

Longstaff is always diving these days.  When he doesn’t know where to go he’ll just fall down.

I think his ability to buy a foul is a real talent, and speaks of his ball control and vision - though I do think you’ll get refs like the one at the weekend who’ll stop blowing for FKs after a while, particularly if they may have made a controversial decision against the other team earlier in the game.  When that starts happening, he needs to knock it on the head and start releasing the ball.

Not quite the simile I was expecting.

This is so frustrating. He tries to buy fouls by shielding and then going to ground. And when he doesn't get the foul, we are often so open on the counter. Just move the ball for fuck sake.

I think he has adopted Bruno’s ‘fold from the waist when you feel someone behind you’ thing. It’s getting irritating; from both of them.

I’m actually shocked he hasn’t been sent off for that. 
 

how VAR can look at that and take no action just shows how incompetent the officials are

He’s a nutter sometimes like [emoji38] did similar in the PSG game as well
