Doesnt seem to have hindered most other players doing the same thing, Salah, Havertz and the vast majority of Arsenal players, Fernandez etc.

dont forget Delap 2 in 2 games

But there is diving or going down easily and then there is the sort of thing Cucurella does, which is goes down, arms waving about, holding his face, rolling over and over and over. It's just plain embarrassing. I know other players do it but when it's one of your own, I just hate it.

This is where we need a JT figure. Remember in Drogba's early days, he used to play act a lot and again it was embarrassing for a big guy like that. JT had a word and that's what we could do with now.

Loads of players do it in our league though, Arsenal had 5 or 6 occasions v Utd and each time the ref gave it, and they do it week in week out. Its definitely not just cucurella.

When inverting your fullback goes wrong...

Ever thought of updating/changing your username ?

All you guys bashing Cucu for rolling on the ground in yesterdays incident is ridiculous. Would like to see how you "tough guys" react to when you run at full speed and someone smacks you in the face or pulls your hair  I do agree that sometimes he rolls on the ground little too much but that shouldn't be accounted into non biased reffing! Every foul should be based on the seriousness of specific foul not on someones past behaviour!

Also reminder for you guys what happened against Spuds when that c**t pulled his hair:

Gets up instantly and not even a f**king VAR look....

Just gone through the thread quickly having been at the game last night. Agree seems like we can’t manage a game for 90mins.

some players must wonder why they are at the club. After talking about all the players that aren’t in the squad and the reasons, I would be asking if I’m in the 25  and on the bench every game and not coming on. WHY?!

We only change certain players and last night we made two defensive changes before trying to change our attacking thread.

lastly on VAR I didn’t think they got involved in yellow cards. They alert the ref for factual mistakes and red cards so shambles there

I know what you’re saying to be fair but sometimes you have to be dramatic to catch VAR’s attention.

Sancho got fouled in the box away at Liverpool, he didn’t go down at all and VAR dismissed it in milliseconds.

If he went down we might have been given a penalty - it was 0-0 at the time as well.

According to Dermot Gallagher he pulls his shirt and not his hair, BLIND AS THE REST OF THEM, replays show he grabbed at the shirt and ended up pulling his hair

It's getting stupid the number of fouls on Cucu that players get away with! He gets his hair pulled more than Bonnie Blue on a 12-hour session!
