He still should've booked the player though

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

The answer to the question of course is "When pigs fly".

The only way to deal with it is to have enough skilful and pacy players on the wings and coming forward from midfield that the defenders can't just single out the one they're most afraid of and kick the f***ing s*** out of him. We can't carry on allowing them to put two or three men on him. Townsend is good enough to give defenders something else to think about and Loftus-Cheek should be too. But we don't have a surplus of Wilf clones.

Simple fix. If/when wilf gets targeted, we set Luka on those kicking lumps out of him. Send the Serbian to murder em! That just means we need back up for luka, as this tactic will pick up a few cards. But, once he's put a few of their talented players on the injury list, they will start to think twice! Fight fire with fire!

But some of them are legit tackles though, even if they are hard. Moaning relentlessly at every one will not endear him to the ref. He should just save it for the real fouls. He might get a bit more sympathy.

Needs to cut out the moaning and leave it to the captain/manager to discuss with the referee. He definitely doesn't get the rub of the green at the moment.

I used to defend him to the hilt but does go down too easily sometimes. Happened in the first half on Saturday, could have had a shot but decided to go down. That combined with whinging won't help his cause. The same happened to Ronaldo when he was young at Man United and everyone hated him for it.

He'll need 6 months of good behaviour to get refs on his side
