It's nothing to do with arrogance. It's taught my the FA/Observers. It's also because the referee decides the tolerance in the game not the AR. It's also to protect the lino's in two ways firstly from any flak from fans/players (rightly or wrongly that one) and then secondly as despite them being qualified referees. You specialise at a certain level. So yes they are good officials but the men in the middle are the top level officials compared to linos who may not necessarily have referred in the middle to too high a level.

“the tolerance”

This is why people hate refs FYI

Need to step it up hugely second half. Not really many realistic options to make the changes though.

We can't beat a low block at all. Aimless passing until we end up losing it and having to defend a counter.

Let’s not bring facts into it though as I’m sure what you have just said is accurate

Still frustrating as hell when linos seem to remain anonymous in decision making

I do love how we wait for the opponents to get back in position before starting our "attacking" moves

Whenever we're in crossing positions we've got 2 players in their box Vs 5, we need midfielders to be getting in there. We are very predictable, nobody breaks the lines.

Terrible half

We may have won 2 on trot and seen improved performance but the fuck your polls posters still need to realise we don't play good attacking football.

I don't wanna be just solid and efficient anymore. I want to attack.

Shape hurting us as there doubling up on the wings and pulling Lati and Binks out.

Think we might need to match there shape in a 4-3-3

We don’t play wingers anymore though. He’s not a good enough RWB, or a 10 so not sure where he fits atm

One decent perhaps, just a shame we didn’t know how to react to it. Maybe even the players were surprised

Two terrible teams. Derby haven't threatened at all either, we just gifted them a goal. Torp for Sakamoto at half time please.

That's one of the most depressingly bad halves of football I've seen in my life.

Honking.

Honestly, why bother with Linos if they are purely decorative.
