Are you suggesting players should not be allowed to stand where they want and hold their ground? The Arsenal corner tactics are brilliant ... put most of your players at the back of the goal and the opposition don't know whether to look at the ball or the player running in from behind them. It's so obvious can't see why it took the game this long to work it out.
To me the travesty if the shirt-pulling and holding that goes on and the refs ignore it.
Sorry I wasn't talking about the near or far post overloads or the plenty of fair and valid goals they score from corners. More the pinning the keeper in position. Ben White screen.
I agree with Souness.
“I just don’t know when referees will wake up to what Arsenal do at set-pieces and corners,” Souness wrote. “An accurate ball is delivered under the crossbar, and aggressive players attack it, pinning and fouling the goalkeeper. It happened again at City. Gabriel Martinelli walked in, turned his back on the goal to obstruct Ederson, and Gabriel scored. Anywhere else on the pitch, that’s a foul.”

I'm sorry but I think you misunderstand the rules. If you stand and hold your ground as Martinelli does you are not obstructing anyone ... there is no foul for the referee to penalise. Indeed if the 'other player' does run into the player holding their ground it is they who is committing the foul! The whereabouts on the pitch is irrelevant ... a player is allowed to hold their ground. Obstruction is when a player moves into the path of another. I'm surprised Souness does not know the rules!henbet22 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2024 9:22 amSorry I wasn't talking about the near or far post overloads or the plenty of fair and valid goals they score from corners.

No more trying to influence refs, it was never a good look

Probably because of the amount of cards that are being dished out lately especially by Anthony Taylor who seems to have turned into the Premier League equivalent of Kim Jong Unsionascaig wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 7:21 pmAnyone else noticed the cards market volumes way up...

Drift on Bournemouth and Southampton moved in by about 15 ticks for 1st 10 mins or so, not as if Southampton are anything special (no offence Peter), always plenty of opportunity if you pair the market up with what's happening on the pitch which wasn't a lot to warrant them types of moves
