That's now little bit of shirt pull. He was holding Ighlao's waist using both his hands.I’m not saying there isn’t a foul there but he for sure dives to bring more attention to the matter at the end. Look at his jump and the way his legs are together.
Personally that defender has been turned I’ve got clean sight of goal, I’m not throwing myself to the ground in that situation as there is every chance the ref won’t give it.
I‘m gonna make a B line for goal and make the defender have to take me down to stop me or let me shoot. There is no way from the little bit of shirt pulling that Ighalos body would fall in such a manner like that from the contact he was getting Unless Klaus is superhuman and the new shirts by Addidas are made out of some sturdy stuff.
Clearly by now it should be clear to you that our coaching game plan doesn't involve whipping crosses into the box.And you don't see a problem with that? If it were me I'd be putting in those crosses and then tearing them a new one when they weren't on the end of it, or at least trying to get on the end of it...
This isn't NHL where you just dump it in and see what happens. If the players in the box are a significant step above your own strikers in the air, then you are asking for dumb luck instead of an actual play.I can cross a ball like that. If they're pro and can't do it then they should hang up their boots. It's not about these guys not having the technique, it's about them not seeing the space to whip the cross into, or not having the confidence to do it...
Yes, your right about Mata and Lingard has not played a good game for well over a year now. I think Gomes should have been given more chances. Dalot keeps getting caught out of positio when he moves forward and can't get back..... Still think we need a left footed CB to compliment Maguire......I thought Bailly and Dalot did fine. Dalot was completely on his own on the right wing but was a threat offensively.
Lingard and Mata, not so much. Lingard should have had a point to prove but was awful and the game completely passed Mata by. He looks like he's in his early 40s rather than his 30s.
I’m not saying it isn’t a foul. If you’d highlighted a bit further in your reply I was just saying there is no way Igahlo’s body falls like that from the way he was being held.That's now little bit of shirt pull. He was holding Ighlao's waist using both his hands.

You said it's a bit of shirt pull, my reply was for that. Only way Ighalo can run is by carrying the defender on his back.I’m not saying it isn’t a foul. If you’d highlighted a bit further in your reply I was just saying there is no way Igahlo’s body falls like that from the way he was being held.
Igahlo emphasises that there has been fouled by throwing himself to the ground.
However he has rolled the boy has a sight of goal, I would have pushed on and if I can’t get away because I’m being held the ref should blow up anyway it’s that blatant.
Hopefully that left footed centre back stuff left with Van Gaal! It's how the club ended up with Rojo.Yes, your right about Mata and Lingard has not played a good game for well over a year now.

I'm not talking about just putting a cross in when everyone is there. Teams hold high lines all the time when the ball is about 30 yards out. What we tend to do is have the right footed player on the right wing try and cross one. For that, it has to go over defenders and it's a useless ball because it has to be so exact. But a left footer on the left can cross one that goes behind defenders. Even when defending it it's awkward because you are running towards your own goal to get on it. This is the type of cross I want to see more of. Perhaps I'm not explaining it right...This isn't NHL where you just dump it in and see what happens. If the players in the box are a significant step above your own strikers in the air, then you are asking for dumb luck instead of an actual play.
But hey, we had 38 shots against Norwich, and 12 corners. It's not like we're struggling to generate anything is it?
He gave Ighalo a bearhug dude, the obstruction is enough, he didnt even have to fall for that to be a red card.I’m not saying there isn’t a foul there but he for sure dives to bring more attention to the matter at the end. Look at his jump and the way his legs are together.
