Let's see how she comes out of a Seb Hines pre-season...

It could still be a thoroughly traditional glorious failure, the perfect induction ;-)

Wondered when you'd come back to it! But I'd say "inconclusive so far"...is that a fair call?

If it makes you feel better, the neverending accumulation of wealth power and talent by Europe's biggest clubs will eventually create a situation where they have no opponents soccer as we know it will cease to exist and eventually die. We will then restart the process all over again in 20 years

Hines not getting his due from the commentary. Forcing Gotham to play from their own half is good big game tactics, give the opponent what they don't want. Esther has barely seen the penalty box.

Often it's just choosing the least bad option, which is usually a tactical foul. Sometimes it's more obvious. I remember when England men played Italy in 2012, Eng brought on Andy Carroll in launch it mode. Italy just stood off him and picked him off on the ground, easy peasy

Could well be a decision in the moment. Lots of impossible trade-offs defending against great players. Looking like a moron once in a while is on the centre-back job description
