that’s pretty much his modus operandi, IMO

if he actually scored goals, it’d be excusable. But given his cost, it’s inexcusable.

86:40 their corner. Keeper lets it go out for a goal kick. Did he not learn his fucking lesson???

Sounds like you want to spank him.

Anyone knows why we need 5 attacking minded players on the pitch? I mean, we are still in the lead?

He was 3 yards offside. Morton not used to playing at the back did well to step in time with everyone else to leave him there

I don’t think, in that situation the CB has too much control over the situation. Quansah had no cover from the other CB so his options are to engage or back off and wait for support.

In order to engage he needs a poor/heavy touch from the attacker, which never came, so he’s at the mercy of hisnsupporting defenders. Doesn’t really matter how far he backs up in attempting to delay because he knows its unlikely to be him making the challenge - and losing this 1v1 duel gives the forward a clear run on goal.

The issue, in my opinion, is that Quansah plays it correctly but Morton comes to help and overruns it. He needs to shorten his steps quicker and approach more controlled in order to take away the inside cut and also to apply good pressure. Then not only did he fail to effectively support his CB but he then also blocked Quansah’s view which stopped him for reacting effectively.

So Morton’s error in my book, just playing too fast and not smart.

Ha ha how was that not a penalty. Thank goodness no VAR

Fernandez did absolutely nothing wrong on that. Very lucky
