Well that's pathetic from the mods if they are going to ban posters for using thr board to discuss Leicester city and its players, which I'm sure is the prime purpose of the site. We're not off topic and we're not overly repeating ourselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I think you're at risk of getting circular, and as a 3rd party to it, it doesn't look like it's getting anywhere. Anyway, I was trying to be friendly - you do as you see fit.

I dunno Long was a good few yards ahead of the defensive line. Given it was a direct opponent of Evans as well. I did think it was foolishly at the time but on the replay may be not so sure Edited 20 January by Cardiff_Fox Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VAR would rule him off even if the linesman missed it. Only reason Evans makes the challenge is because he thinks Long is onside, otherwise why the desperation?

As a playing CB, it’s a naughty little thing called leaving one on someone - particularly given Long’s normally combative nature.

He panicked and was rash, simple as that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leeds Fox 1,550 Posted 20 January Report Share Posted 20 January 8 hours ago, Facecloth said: I know Long stole an advantage, thats why it was offside and not a penalty. But Evans didn't know that, yet he felt that it was a good decision to barge into the back of what he assumed was a legally positioned player. Long being offside isn't relevant to Evans' decision making in that situation, as he clearly thought he was onside or he wouldn't have made such a desperate attempt to get to the ball before him. Mm, a yard, a foot, whatever, far to close for comfort and he wouldn't have been fully aware that he was making contact in or out the area in that split second. It was a desperate lung when there were other players around that meant it wasn't needed. It isn’t as clear cut as you’re making out. Whether he thought Long was offside or not, he hardly has time to check the line and then make his decision. It’s reactionary. The only reason he had to make a challenge like he did was because Long WAS offside. That challenge doesn’t happen the same way if he’s onside. Then there’s the gamble that he is onside and he needs to make a challenge regardless. He shouldn’t have been rash but again, it doesn’t happen how it did if Long is onside. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've already said I'm aware Long being offside got him into that position, what I'm criticising is how he dealt with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FoyleFox 837 Posted 22 January Report Share Posted 22 January With games coming thick and fast in the next few weeks, potentially longer if our Europa and FA Cup runs are good we'll hopefully rotate to have the best pairing for each match and afford one a few extra days rest. We have 3 quality defender who each have different strengths. It's a great problem to have considering we were contemplating Filbert Fox or Doris the Tea lady as CB at the start of the season Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely and did the same for Maguire and Soyuncu. Fofana and Soyuncu may be the future but for now they both need an Evans. Some people criticised Armarty at the weekend but I think it may have been a slightly different performance with Evans alongside for confidence and instruction. Evans is worth his weight in gold. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
