Aluko in Athletic 10:33 - Aug 24 with 1741 views | PhilTWTD | One of three on a panel watching the Man U-Liverpool match at the weekend. Perhaps the most interesting Town line is what he says about analysis: "You get the game, your own clips from the game and through the week you’ll get the changes the coach wants to make. I’ll have an individual 15 minutes with one of the coaches on our clips and what he wants to go through. Then the team will have meetings on playing out, defending, set pieces… so you could have five meetings. You can’t say you don’t know!" Also talks about a diving ban he had in Scotland when asked whether he has ever dived. "A fair few times, to be fair. I got a two-game ban in Scotland, the first player to be banned in Scotland for diving. For Rangers. It was for a penalty, which we scored, then after the game they’d brought in some new rule so I had to go to Hampden for a hearing. I walked in the room, saw the three guys and just thought, ‘I’m finished!’ Two games was very harsh. I got booed for months at every stadium." https://theathletic.com/3527991/2022/08/24/manchester-united-liverpool-professio |  | | |  |

Eric Gates was a world class diver in the box. |  |
