      He clearly runs into him by accident. Still probably a red when VAR slows it down -1000x yeah, but hardly a 2 footed lunge from behind

      It was clearly a misstep from change of direction of both players. Unfortunate, but I don’t think there’s that much force on it to make it serious foul play.

      So few of them in the league capable of hauling now never mind scoring consistently. Remember the days where you struggled to choose 3 because there were so many good ones. If there wasnt a second BB to consider I'd strongly be considering Guiu and Kroupi just to remove the temptation to play 2 strikers

        I'll probably give Ekitike a run and if that fails it's Kroupi in and move money into defense and midfield.
