Robertson, Senesi, Van Hecke, Dubravka, Fernandes.
He looked at our squad and said, "Besides 10-12, the rest need to be brought up to first team level."
Expect this to continue.
To follow on from Senesi and Robertson, we are now linked with Sancho and Rashford. Don't be surprised people, this is how we bring the level of the squad up. He only rated 10-12 players of our 25 man squad.
@ConnCFC It's not that great a penalty. With that placement, you would still expect a goalkeeper who dived traditionally to get a hand on that. A really good penalty is one that has a chance of beating the keeper even if he guesses right.
@Jon_afc@RyanMKIV Everyone who intentionally impeded the goalkeeper off the ball during set pieces this season just gone, were cheating.
Referees were under officiating it, and certain teams exploited that much more than others.
The ones who exploited it the most are getting called out.
@Jon_afc@RyanMKIV I never said, suggested, or implied it was only an Arsenal thing.
I said it was cheating, and that you do it.
You want to eat your cake and have it to. You consistently cheated, and reaped the rewards of it, accept the aftermath and move on, what are we doing here.
@Jon_afc@RyanMKIV "Why would the laws of the game be changed specifically to make it easier to call these types of fouls?"
Laws are being changed to make it easier to call the fouls, they are fouls, impeding a player off the ball is a foul.
Now the foul can be called pre kick, easier to call.
@Jon_afc@RyanMKIV Plenty of teams have scored 15+ goals from corners in previous seasons and not been called cheats, I wonder why that is?
Because you would have me believe you're only being accused of cheating cause you score, yet none of these teams were?
@nytimes@TheAthleticFC Penalties are great.
Good to watch.
Huge pressure moment for players.
Makes and breaks careers and seasons.
Extremely fair.
Great equaliser for all teams.
People want to take the pressure away from pens, or continue a game in which neither team could win in 90-120 mins?
@Jon_afc@RyanMKIV If it's not cheating, why would people be outraged that you do it?
Why would the laws of the game be changed specifically to make it easier to call these types of fouls?
@Jon_afc@RyanMKIV What's your argument here?
Every team is cheating, but because you're benefitting from the cheating more, you're unfairly in the spotlight?
