daisy 138 Posted January 22, 2022 Seems to me we`ve finally found the missing ingredient, we`ve grown a pair and started to give as good as we get. Players are now using more strength and aggression, winning 50/50 balls, challenges and such like. Pukki`s challenge to create a goal, Sargents header , Idah`s improved performances to name a few. Could this be the difference lately? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 4,921 Posted January 22, 2022 Absolutely right. The things we're still not doing very well are cheating in general and putting pressure on the referee in particular Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The things we're still not doing very well are cheating in general and putting pressure on the referee in particular It felt to me that we did this better last night as well. Lees Melou going in slightly two footed, but getting their player (rightfully) booked. And when Dennis tried to protest to the ref Hanley literally just shoved him out the way. Then Gibson getting right in the refs ear when Dennis fouled Aarons - you can almost lip read him saying "he's got to go off ref". And I'm still giggling to myself about the way that Tzolis just kicked the ball straight down one of the Main Stand exits last Saturday when we were trying to run the clock down against Everton. (and yes I know it's a sorry state of affairs when we're approving of such gamesmanship, but there you are, that's the Premier League for you).
