Probably one of the last times I'll get a chance to say this unfortunately, but, Branthwaite MOTM he was absolutely imperious, I shudder to think how we will replace him. Player of the season and young player of the season for me.
He's just phenomenal. Aerial dominance, elite pace, strong, composed, very good on the ball, great decision making but what I really like is his positioning when we're defending our box. The number of times he blocks crosses or is in the perfect...
Its getting hard to put into words how good this guy is! Sensational. I don't think its hyperbole to say that he's been the best CB in the league this season
Is he more of a number 10 or a striker? He has showed some lovely touches and link up play in the last few games but not much movt. in the box (although almost impossible to judge a strikers movt./goal instinct in our team).
Looks much more confident and assertive in his last few showings. We should never underestimate how hard it is to make an immediate impression in the premier league. Even very experienced players from other leagues can take a while to find their...
We really do need him. Our defense is completely transformed with him in it. He seems to be in exactly the right position to block every cross that comes into the box and he is excellent on the ball.
You know when people see the image of Jesus in a crisp? Well I may have watched too many of these drone videos, but I’ve started to see the image of Dixie in the sand here and now can’t unsee it. Is he blessing us? Or do I need therapy?
The entire notion of a natural position is BS. He arm is in a completely normal position for a normal human being who is moving and dynamically changing direction. What's completely unnatural is moving around with your arms being your back. But...
True. But they are given and when they are the pundits don't question them. They just say there's contact therefore the player is entitled to go down. Therefore it's completely legitimate to ask for those pens and wonder why it is we don't get...
I'd sooner another club which is not already minus 6 points, due another deduction and fighting a potentially existential relegation battle acted the martyr if it is all the same to you. Also, I don't think us moaning on a message board does...
You said he wasn't touched. You're argument also seems to be that it shouldn't be a penalty based on your own desire for how the game should be referreed (I agree with you on that one BTW) but we can only judge whether or not it is a pen based on...
Is it a soft penalty? - yes, should the league be officiated so that those incidents aren't pens? - yes, are those incidents currently routinely given as penalties? - absolutely. If a defender makes any sort of contact with an attacker in the box...
