I wish Pau and Diego would stop putting their hands behind their arse when trying to block. That was a major contributor to the deflection on Sunday.

I understand why they do it, but it does seem to lead to a load more deflections.

They’re instructed or coached to do it. It might mean an increase in deflections but I’d say some maths has gone on with the result that not doing it would mean a higher chance of hand balls. After 13 league games we haven’t conceded a pen to a hand ball I think.

We've conceded two goals from deflections in this scenario though.
