"Little purple patch" to describe 19 goals in 22 games is a bit harsh no?

Ball can't have been in play for more than about 3mins total during the 11+ added time. I don't even blame Ipswich, yeah they milked it to the absolute maximum, but once it was obvious very early on that neither ref had any intention of punishing it why not?

By a mile too.

So the numbers are even for the shootout. Otherwise they are actually at a disadvantage as the opponents will get round to their better takers again quicker.

That Kai Andrews is our most important player, 100% win record.

Yeah, I understand what you meant. Was just pointing out to get that almost guaranteed level of quality it will cost big money.

Phenomenal player at this level. £11m + at least £2m more in add ons though - not the market we are shopping in.

I dunno, can understand it. Thomas is covering the man in the middle, yes he can come across but don't believe he'd stop Gallagher getting a shot away, it's definitely a goal scoring opportunity.

Sympathise with them because they are being asked to do so much & everything about it is subjective & imo unnecessary. Look at the way they just guess where to put the lines for the offside too. I don't think people realise there is absolutely zero science behind it, just total guesswork using...

Yep but you're still chasing the impossible. As I always expected, VAR has made the game far, far worse & actually leads to more Ref abuse. They should have just invested that money into properly supporting, training & recruiting referees.

Brilliant piece this. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39960798/forest-row-shows-refs-battle-adapt-demands-var-era

That's the crux. I've always said that at this level there's not a great deal between most first choice keepers. There's only a couple of top ones imo (Hermansen & maybe Cooper) & then maybe the same again who are probably not good enough & then the rest pretty similar but with different...

Not the case. Serious injury or head injury. In fact, it's gone more the other way with all the studies into head injuries. They are supposed to stop the game immediately.

Ran over 17k in the game on Sunday. The average distance covered by a player in a match is around 10k. Just think what he might have done if he hadn't "downed tools" eh?
