The head injury rule is silly , they should just let the physio on and let them play on and if it is serious you then stop

Huh?


Stopping the game for every time there is a head injury

In Rugby physios just come on and the game continues

Why suddenly complain about a rule that has been around for about 20 years.


Well Rugby seems to have a solution to an issue  that football has a problem with ?

Excellent performance, we were under pressure after they scored and we would have caved in under previous managers, with Emery he's on another level

Why not? If it has been wasting lots of people's time and making games marginally less enjoyable to watch for two decades, that's no reason why it should continue to do so.

Well for one thing, it gives all players a slight rest. Football players run an average of 10km a game, Rugby players 4.5km. Also, although the game "carries" on whilst the physios are on the pitch, it is more stop start and not exactly a game which switches wings or ends of the field with "one" kick as much as Football.

Whisper it - is Konsa better now Mings is out of the team? Not a criticism of Tyrone at all but it seems to have made Ezri take more responsibility.

A really good point. Erzi always seemed to look for Mings with a sideway pass.

Konsa has said something to this effect himself

Dealt with the bogey team in emphatic style! and to think I was worried about Antonio's physical threat against Torres and Fornels getting his one goal a season!

I was worried about JWP and West Ham corners against our defence?

This is brilliant

https://youtu.be/rj1jIdAZJ7c?si=En0cF7d3Nc96Ehjl

Complains about the same line-up being played when, with our current injuries, the only normal change is Bailey or Zani at the moment. Obviously our "tactically superior manager" actually gets them to play differently in a match dependent on the team so even though it was the same line-up, it could be totally different style of play. So if we can do that, then Moyes..... oh, I see the failure now.

I have to say the save from the long range Luiz effort was brilliant, as good a save as you'll see all season. It was going right into the top corner with a load of swerve, but he somehow got a hand to it. Amazing.

No and if anything the more we learn the more important it is to be very cautious with them.
