Sure Brown Nose will appreciate this...

Tactical fouls - are Man City unfairly maligned?

Manchester City are regularly accused of being tactical foulers - is it fair and are any other teams at it?

"possession percentages are not measured by time spent on the ball"

WTAF!?!

Yes the guy from Opta covered this on the Totally Football pod last year. It’s essentially done on passes. They have analysed a game with looking at possession and consider it a pretty effective proxy.

But that was also my initial reaction!

Thanks for this. Unfortunately, there are no stats for being snidey little ****s.

If you watch Man City closely, they often do the fouling away from the player making the breakaway and the ref doesn't see it - blocking runs and such like. They're excellent at disrupting on the sly. They also interfere so slightly at times that the ref waves advantage instead of stopping play. Just knocking the player out of his stride. It's enough though.

My main objection is referees not doing something about it. They seem complicit. A yellow card every time in a game that someone obstructs an opposition player breaking forward and it will largely stop.

Everton's manager is under immense pressure. Couple of bad results and they will balls it up.

My bet for first manager to go.

Just dusting this off.

Did you put any money on it?

I've got to say it's a very good finish but where was Harry Maguire? He should have been on the cover but he was about 25 yards away.

Five out of five away wins today so far. Can Arsenal make it six?

He'll still be turning around now.

Weren’t Watford supposed to be pushing for the top six as well this season? They’ve been bobbins in this season.

And the back half of last. The wheels, quietly, have been coming off for some time.

It's not like Maguire to be caught hopelessly out of position with no pace to do anything about it . . .
