Whilst Llalana's goal showed great individual skill, he probably wouldn't have been allowed to score it by any other other premire league team. Curtis actually let Llana run past him and put his hands in the air to prevent himself obstructing him instead of just body checking him in a not very dangerous position and taking a yellow card. The game was effectively over with the third goal.
No denying our defence has been superb but the point is we are not yet streetwise in the premier league hence we gave Torres the opportunity to dive on the edge of our penalty area and gain a free kick, Llalana should have been body checked and we should have surrounded the ref when Barry scored from an offside position, pleading him to ask his linesman whether he had seen the touch. We just seem to accept every decision.
OK so nobody made the challenge that would most likely earn a yellow at best - but thats the joys of being a confident player who will run at the defence forcing the defender into action - we need more of this . Im happy to lose the ball trying to beat a defender - i do throw my arms up when we loft in hopeful balls where theres no back up
As Davies was already on a yellow card that would of been a ****ing stupid thing to do MUPPET. We would of really played well down to 10 men.
