Pascal cramped up because he hadn't done a single slow mo Cruyff turn in the whole game. It's his yoga.
Did one early on I thought but in field.

The only time I thought we were more streetwise, was when Gross went down with 'cramp' late in the game. I thought at last we have learnt how to slow the game down in the closing stages to ensure the defence are not put under early pressure, and everyone can have a breather.
Obviously the cramp may have been genuine, but only Gross knows for sure.
Spurs mate of mine said we were going to ground to stop the flow of the game.
Which I thought was, what's the words?...utter bollocks.
The elbow was the most Continental incident of the whole weekend. Should have been a nailed on red but wasn't because of Cucurella's overreaction to try and get the card (IMO).

I didn’t see us as niggly, we just stood our ground and refused to be bullied. Kane trying to run though Dunk and Kane on Sanchez with an unnecessary barge on him which left Kane hobbling, being good examples. We were not niggly and we weren’t cheating imo
Said exactly the same outside the ground whilst talking to friends who were Spurs fans and had been to the match
EVERYONE else does it when they come to the Amex, even the very best of teams. Niggly fouls to slow down any promising moves we have, going down like they've been shot by the 'man of the grassy knoll' when tackled by our players, taking an age to come off as a substitute, etc, etc.
About bloody time we join this particular party, fed up with being a soft touch and been taken for a rise most games, the last few notwithstanding
Hang on, I thought it was his UNDERreaction was the reason they didn’t get the red card? Could have made much more of a song and dance about it in my opinion. Otherwise, I thought we were pleasingly ****ish at times, all good stuff.

Take the blue and white specs off.
The elbow hits Cucu gently underneath his chin. He clutches his eyes with both hands.
hmm maybe take another look at that one.
Standard Premier league over reaction is to throw yourself to the deck whenever there is a chance of a red for the opposition.
An elbow was thrown with intent.
Sure he didn't fully connect, but it was there.
Cucu could easily have made more of it than he did.
Compare that with the reaction from spurs players every time Mwepu was involved in an accidental foul after his yellow,
OK that's a comparison to other, equally or more shit, Premier League behaviour and has made an assumption about my view on the decision, which was not the thing being discussed.
If I'm larking about with my mates having a kickaround and one of their elbows grazes my neck and I hold my eyes with both hands they're never going to let me hear the end of it. The fact that is "good" in comparison with other incidents isn't a good thing. Frankly it illustrates again why I can't fall in love with the Premier League.
That doesn't mean I don't think it was a red. I said in my first post on this thread it should have been red.
