Apparently you can follow through a clearance into someone’s head but they draw the line at the shin.

Nuts isn’t it. The idea on the shin is it could in theory break someone leg, but the head you can in theory cause a brain aneurysm.

I get it when a player drops their head really low into feet range but that was a straight flying boot in the face. Its dangerous play, really dangerous play.
 
I think we had a good start to the season because opponents hadn’t sussed out Angeball yet. It now looks like most of our opponents have done so, and those teams with the ability to nullify it have been doing it.

We need a Plan B, C etc. whenever we don’t have the available players that suit the system.

They bomb because we don’t have a plan to either integrate and improve them, or move them along in short order. Levy is holding on to these players like prison cigarettes thinking they’ll still be smokeable after five years being traded.

Udog, Sarr, Veliz, Dragusin, Gil, VDV.....

The only one from that list you could honestly say has "bombed" is Gil.

And playing this development game at a “higher level” is super fucking risky because in an economic downturn- like we are in now- there is a real lack of wealthier clubs hungry to buy your players at an acceptable premium.

We need to try a different approach.

Sorry....... I don't get the clamour to be like Brighton...... They're just Southampton from the Atkins/Poch/Koeman days.......

Problem is now that teams sit off us we cant break them down. Liverpool pressed us we couldnt play out. Fucked both ways. Richie comes on we still flute around at the back with the ball

Hilarious we think no one saw a single game and didn't know how we played. In the era of instant videos, analysis and social media. No one seems to look at the best players in this team that looked like signings of the season and nearly all are amongst our worst players now, in addition to the same shit from previous seasons being relied on, but it's all down to us being 'sussed out'. Hilarious.

Johnson is 6'1" , under any circumstances, and irrespective of the athletic ability displayed in getting his foot to the ball he was guilty of dangerous play insofar as he endangered the player challenging for the ball. On any other part of the pitch that's a foul.
Therefore in the penalty box it becomes a penalty.

I wouldn't go as far as to call them frauds but Levy has consistently proven he only cares about the business aspect of football and Ange has done nothing to show he is an elite coach, and the wheels are quickly coming off this cart.

I don't think Ange is a Fraud. I believe he plays a certain way and signed up to manage a certain way. The Fraud is Levy who keeps hiding behind managers. Levy has hired managers and wanted them to make miracles with whatever he gave them. He always buys players that could potentially be stars on the cheap and never players that are tried and tested. Here Ange is saying, "This is what you gave me and asked me to do what I do best. It is not good enough, I need change".

I'd love to see a season of "Ange Ball" with players that fit his style. He isn't much different from Klopp and Pep with his philosophy. I don't think Levy will want to spend because his 30 story mansion is being built. Here we'll see who is the real culprit.

Well ok Airfixx- I feel ever more unconfident in my assertions since you’ve never been wrong before.

If anything Levy doesnt do enough business. He lets players rot here for at least two season before selling them at a loss because he simply does not understand when to hold and when to fold. He’s a shit judge of footballing talent, and stingy bastard always losing dollars by chasing after dimes.
