    I don't like cheating but it's unfortunately part of the game. Gerrard even did it and he's English!!! :bandit:

    That description would fit a certain left back towards the end of his reign at Hull City....




    Edit; or even a young Geordie CM at Sunderland stone time back ;)

    All players go down easily when it suits them just watch defenders when heading to their own goal line under pressure where normal procedure is to suddenly stop and then throw themselves to the ground to get a clearing FK .
    Mane will drop at a touch ,again, when it suits him and then has a dreadful habit of feigning injury .

    The problem Is if you don't flop about your not getting the freekick. Anything short of decapitation and if you stay on your feet its play on.

    I know what you're both saying and I agree but you must know what I mean too. When the one player over and over keeps going down. It was either 5 or 6 times for Cantwell before I stopped counting. When was the last time Mané flopped 6 times in one game?

    I do know what your saying, there has always been players that go down with a slight breeze, over and over again, it can be very frustrating to watch. But again why do the refs fall for it constantly?

    JB i think it was this post
    i mean tbh i think most PL managers not only expect but demand their players "cheat" in certain circumstances i.e. tactical fouls , holding players at dead ball situations , stopping quick free kicks being taken .

    Exactly. I think there's always an element of favouring the underdog - as seen on Saturday - and favouring the stars who do it like Ronaldo. Floppers generally fall (no pun intended) into those 2 categories.

    I think some managers do, you're right. Ex players reveal all in their autobiographies but I honestly don't see us having any of the, 'accepted' forms of cheating as a regular part of our game. We've seen Klopp take Mané off and wave his arms down in a 'what was that lying on the floor all about' gesture and looking none too pleased.

    I just think most teams are about the same though there are a few teams when a particular "cheat" is a pre set tactic .

    Suarez was a cheat, probably still is, but a 6 time flopper per game - no. It's an individual's trait as I said before either the out and out cheat or the very best players. I thought Neymar was rolling his way home from the WC, absolutely ridiculous and no need.

    RB LEIPZIG star Timo Werner has dropped a huge hint he is set to sign for Liverpool this summer.
    The 23-year-old scored the only goal of the game, a penalty, to help his side defeat Tottenham in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie
