The Great Drinkell 50 Posted November 22, 2014 Both Howson and Johnson were guilty of cynical fouls in the middle of the park, preventing a potential break away. I know Brighton also had one as well, but why can''t this be a sending off offense and stop this cheating.If it was made a sending off players would stop commuting this type of foul and the game would be better for it.Rant over.

Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted November 22, 2014 Because it''s not that serious. Ergo players use it to prevent a clear goal scoring chance from developing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted November 22, 2014 As we play too openly without a proper defensive anchor (which should be either Tettey or BJ depending who''s playing...yes they shouldn''t be in the same team) we are gonna get caught on the counter, therefore we have to stop them. It can be easily put right and I hope with the appointment of Phelan and perhaps the sacking of Adams we''ll get there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,085 Posted November 22, 2014 If one of our players had had the presence of mind to commit one of these cynical fouls in the 93rd minute at Forest last week we wouldn''t have lost that game................... just saying...............
