    Why is the reference point for struggling managers always Christmas, lol

    Ah apologies, yes we agree!

    My point is I thought your wording was less open to interpretation. Agree to disagree I guess!

    Fair point, maybe they’re a part of it. But Vicario certainly seems like the biggest part to me!

    Romero or VDV for me. Vicario’s set piece troubles are too big to be a contender.

    Set Pieces

    I agree it should be a foul. Doesn't change the fact that Vicario should be trying more to combat it.

    Set Pieces

    Yeah it is rather weird and inexplicable. White did the exact same thing for both set piece goals on Sunday - start behind Vicario, then jump in front of him and block him. Vicario didn't even try to do anything differently to combat it the second time. I don't understand it.

    Yeah I can accept that. Just think the rules aren’t clearly written. If they wanted to go into more detail than ‘deliberately played the ball’, your wording is less ambiguous than their bullet points IMO - a block doesn’t count, a pass or clearance [and list any other examples of actions] does.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    Any time I actually look at the laws of the game, I always think they’re so badly conceived / written. Why not just leave the wording as ‘deliberately played’? Being ‘in control’ of the ball and ‘deliberately playing it’ are two different things, and being ‘in control’ is much more vague and...

    Agree players still seem bought in, but I was talking more about confidence than buy-in. But as you imply, hopefully Ange is dedicating more attention to addressing set pieces than he is letting on publicly.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    Yeah those comments concern me. There’s no point working on other stuff if we’re constantly conceding from set pieces. It’s just gonna destroy the players’ confidence and mindset if nothing else.

    Rule changes in football

    Apologies you’re of course correct - I forgot my original point was about the Europa League, and was thinking about the Champions League when responding! (I already fudging hated that rule about playing CL castoffs to be fair though, haha)

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    Don’t think it’s fair to call them ‘a few half chances’. They were three good chances. 1.35xg alone, if we’re talking about xG (based on Understat). And that doesn’t include the clear penalty we should have had too. Don’t think anyone can deny that we edged the first half in chances. Not...

    Rule changes in football

    I’m not sure what ‘extra round’ you’re referring to - as far as I can see it’s just been the top 2 of each group that’s been going straight into the last 16, up until now?

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

    I’m fudging incandescent for not getting a penalty for the Kulu trip. 100% certain contact that sends him to the floor without any exaggeration of contact. AAAARRRGGGHH fudge off VAR if you’ll ignore that but overturn a goal for being 1 cm offside.

    ‘Minimal contact’, fudgeKKKKKK OOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!

    Rule changes in football

    Yeah I can’t tell if I’m just being ‘old man resistant to change’. Though to be honest my main beef is the extra matches - if it was six matches and the top 16 go through I wouldn’t mind the idea.

    Rule changes in football

    I’ve only just discovered that the Europa League has the same changes next season as the Champions League - 36 teams, all in one big league, play 8 games rather than 6, and have to play a play-off game to get into the last 16 (if you don’t finish in top 8). Does anyone like these changes? I...
