If you're referring to 'these referee's' as being human, you're doing a great disservice to us genuine humans.

I say it every game, needs to park the physical battle sometimes, collect the ball on half turn and just run at them. Did it once first half and scared them shitless

Our ball retention and passing was abysmal though otherwise I’d agree. I want to see my two wingers CONSTANTLY forward attack the RB and LB rather than check back but I get by checking back you are keeping the ball and edging up in yardage.

Saka does it a lot and I’m not if it’s him or an instruction. He checks back a lot. Yet when he takes the man on he’s brilliant at it.

Agree about our ball retention the other night, it was awful and I’m not just talking about Ipswich, more that by always going to hold off defender like a CF he gives himself less options ie unless he’s got an overlap then it’s a lay off. It also allows defender to just stay tight which furlong did very well. The one time I can remember EMC trying to take it on the half turn/get in behind second half furlong ended up on his arse and ref gave a soft free kick.

EMC Is a nightmare when running at defenders as he can go both ways and impossible to muscle off the ball, I’d just like to see more of that and less of ball shielding etc (which he is excellent at, probably better than our CFs, but gives less options/slows things down)

It's actually funny how similar we play to Arsenal....4-3-3, Grimes in the zubimendi role. Happy to leave centre halves 1:1. 2 wingers, importance of set plays.....

We can’t play with 2 wingers and a below par rudoni. We are too disjointed.

I'm not sure I'd describe it as stonewall, it's a very awkward one because Wright never has possession of the ball.

It is and if that is obstruction you have watched very little football. Haji is ahead of the player and running towards the ball.

As per the sequence in post #200, Haji stops and turns across the (running) defender's path. Is this a picture of Haji running ahead? The second contact would of course be a no-brainer pen if the ref hadn't seen the first from just a few yards away.

It was a pen and would have been given to Ipswich at Portman Road

The ref was the wrong side of it, so can see why it wasn't given. From the main stand side, you can clearly see Furlong taking Wright's legs away from under him.
