And the reason he isn't goalside of him is because doing so would play everyone onside.

Rice is perfect there, has done absolutely nothing wrong
Well, let?s just agree to disagree, Peter.

His left arm is absolutely around him and his right arm is touching him, is that better? Either way it was stupid.

And if you think that letting your man get goal side of you and between you and the ball is a good way of defending a set piece I?m not convinced on your defensive strategy.

Now, shall we switch to something we can agree on? Just Like Tom Thumb?s Blues came on my playlist the other day
