I think the person who used the goalkeeping analogy said it best, don’t think we will agree. I think winning the ball is directing it somewhere else, and making the opposition lose control of it.
Yes, we’ve seen Van Hecke or Dunk do it this season and be massively praised for it, I think it’s a poor decision and would be over turned if we were playing let’s say, Wolves. Like March v Villa last season.
I believe he won the ball, because he touched it first. That is evident, the intention was the win the ball and he did win the ball. I think it’s incredibly harsh, RDZ doesn’t seem to care anymore.
Because you make the tackle to win the ball, Lamptey won the ball, he touched it first. If you can win the ball and it’s still a penalty, then you might as well give up on tackling, it’s a terrible decision, but the useless POGMOL will promote this waste of space.
