Our players need to grow up quickly and learn some dirty tactics. I don't mean fouling opposition players I mean learning to get a lead and hold on to if by feigning injuring, going down when fouled and generally wasting time. These are the tactics used against us. Not by the Liverpool's or Man City's but by the lesser teams. They sit back and then pick us off, get a goal in front and then waste the next hour falling about and generally disrupting play. Whilst it would be great steamrollering teams we don't have that capability. It's now about points on the board and getting them however we can. |  | | |  |

On the rare occasion that we knock a Liverpool player over our helped them up yesterday.
We gave them far too much respect on and off the pitch yesterday. |  |

True that, which is why it was good to see Enciso come on and put someone on the floor with his first touch, we stood off them too much. |  | | |

Have you not seen Connor Chaplin in action?
To be fair we do need somebody to play his role now. | | | |

I'd rather we concentrated on defending a bit better and not allowing teams to go one up against us than start cheating ourselves!
This constant feigning of injury, time wasting and breaking up play is a plague on the game as is diving. Personally, I hate it and really wish the authorities would do something about it, as it ruins the game for spectators. |  | | |

I hate it all too but would say that seeing us getting beat ruins a game far more for me. | |

I am aware it's hated by all those that get it done to them. But what do we want ? another season or three in the Championship with the possibility of the best manager we have had in yonks leaving or would we rather see a handful of games in the Mick McCarthy style where every point is deemed a victory regardless of whether we are bored to death. Just get the points on the board then we can play some expansive football later on. | | | |

Does show there is no clear correlation between time wasting tactics and league position. |  | | |

You realise the past 2 games v Man City and Liverpool were generally clean games with little of the play-acting theatrics we see from the Fulhams, Brentfords, Palaces etc. because they knew they could blow us away without having to resort to cheap tricks
I am not encouraging us to play dirty but we should respond for like when faced with a dirty team | | | |
