Following on from Dubbers excellent thread about gamesmanship, are we as a team and club too nice/naive and not employ the dark arts side of the game to our detriment.
The last yellow card Dara had was back in our last Premier League campaign and he’s been ever present since then which seems quite remarkable in this day and age. Do we need a horrible little fecker who gets in the refs ear, winds up opponents and generally instils that mindset throughout his teammates. Morsy was the nearest we have had to that in my opinion in recent years.
Bournemouth and other teams have been very good/bad at killing any momentum we started and while I don’t like to see it, being an old crusty who was bought up with a sense of fair play, perhaps we need to get much more savvy.
Thoughts?

If you’re behind in most games as we have been this season then not much point in employing the dark arts and disrupting the flow of the game.
Re DOS - he should have been booked for a dive in the run up to forest’s opener. Suspect that’s not what you mean though! |  | | |

O'Shea's dive? Do you mean when he got a bit of a shove in the back but bounced straight back up? |  |

There have been many instances in recent games where the opponent has been putting us under pressure throughout the match where we seem too passive and easier to play against. Hull just last weekend when we lost momentum before half time and immediately after the restart but also get your point when chasing the game.
Dara just seems a little bit too nice for the most part and the fact that he’s remained booking free for eons suggest as such. | |
