The thing that Marcelo did wrong was that he sent the wrong person to observe Derby.
He should have sent Emma down to stand by the fence and then the other bloke could have done anything and gone anywhere he wanted.
No one would have noticed or cared.

First for having a go at the ref (which Pontus does a lot) .
To be fair inside the ground the 2nd looked like he had a little tug on the guys shirt running through as he fell but looking at replays online you canāt see that at all.

Alaw. Had ten looks at this now, had they scored I think the ref would have left it, as they didnāt he book him. for me not a booking seen more and not given even a free kick, still itās done now move on bring the next one and let win. [.

My problem with losing Pontus for a few games is not so much that we will not have him (although this is not good) but that the temptation will be to bring KP back as a defender to replace him. I was very much looking forward to him returning to that defensive midfielder role. We have a much better shape when he is performing there.

He might not be everybody's cup of tea, but he puts himself about and I bet he is hard to play against. As well as we are doing, I wouldn't mind such as him in the squad to give us a different option, especially when we are up against teams like Stoke were today.

An off day fot too many today. Seems to me we are missing an on form Saiz. If Pablo is off form then there is no source of tricks, flicks and inch perfect thro ball. The strikers didn't have much of a chance up against a back 5 with a screen of 3 in front at times. Against that we will always have 80% posession but it all stops against the brick wall of a defence. I would also suggest that some of the outfield players be given the order to shoot on sight. If nothing else there is always the chance of deflections.

Have to agree with that Danum. Stoke weren't great, but were organised and defended well. We struggled to break them down. A few not on it today and we didn't have too much to change it on the bench. Would like to see us bring in a big Centre Forward just to give us an option when like Stoke today we are up against a couple of big Centre Backs. Harsh red for Pontus, Ref didn't give us any 50-50s either. Need to get back at it next week.

Says more about the 11 clubs than ourselves. Clements the EFL expert just saying on the BBC in wolves Leicester half time.
āLeeds fans worry not, no rule has been broken here, the only potential breach is a breach of Championship āgoodwill charterā and even that is completely subjective. Clements believes it may lead to a new rule or gentlemanās agreement but thatās it.
EFL also said they will not confirm they will respond to the 11 clubs wishes in addition to what they are already investigating. Wonder how many of that 11 are in breach of FFP?

Almost immediately after the whistle had blown v Brentford, Pontus Jansson, still brimming with adrenalin, was interviewed on the pitch by SKY and accused the referee of robbery, as he felt his decisions had cost his team the result they deserved. The FA felt he had questioned the integrity of the ref. and so fined him Ā£1000 and banned him for one match, thereby extending the responsibility (and their punishment) for his words to the football club he played for. He had admitted saying the words.
I was looking through the freebie Times and Sun yesterday in a cafe and inside the back pages, saw that Troy Deeney, the Watford captain, had been fined Ā£20,000. This was due to his comments after the match v Bournemouth where, a little while after the match, when he'd had chance to calm down a bit, he accused the referee of bottling it. So, basically saying the decision maker hadn't had the moral courage to make certain decisions and that had cost his team the result he thought they deserved. The FA thought he'd questioned the integrity of the referee - and he agreed with them. They didn't see fit to ban him though, thereby not extending responsibility (and their punishment) to the football club he played for as, er, their captain.
It's a funny old game.

"I remember when (Werder) Bremen flew a drone over a Hoffenheim training session.
