And if Salah falling over with a vague gust of wind appals us, then we can't turn a blind eye when ours (incl Vlasic) do it.

Re: ✍ Nikola Vlasic
I mean, we absolutely do. We have one of only a handful of players that have been retrospectively punished for diving turning out for us now.
There's a lot to be said for earning a foul, or at the very least showing that you have been fouled. In the game now, if you don't go down with some kind of theatrics the referee simply doesn't seem to look twice more often than not.
Sure, out and out diving would, ideally, not be a feature of a player we have or indeed the game itself. But if someone is getting fouled then yeah, there needs to be a bit of a show around the fact it has happened now. As long as it's not too histrionic, I don't see the problem with that.

Re: ✍ Nikola Vlasic
There's world of difference between diving and drawing a foul.
Getting between the ball and the opposition player and waiting for him to kick you in the ankles is something even I learnt as a kid. It's a part of the game, and always has been.

Re: ✍ Nikola Vlasic
Rich coming from the Harry Kane fan club.
When, by the way, by your own admission he barely plays.
Last two games he was choke slammed, taken down from behind, and the Leeds one was soft but I think he slipped rather than dived.

Re: ✍ Nikola Vlasic
I think he is a head-down, powerful runner. When you're running like that, any touch, even from your own trailing foot, can send you sprawling.
I don't remember him waving his arms around and making a meal after having gone down?
Coufal made a meal of a fairly innocuous body check in the second half - is he a filthy Ronaldo diving Gareth Bale Mo Salah **** too?

Re: ✍ Nikola Vlasic
Vlasic is a very good player, you don't play for your country if you are not, and I rate Croatia as a very decent international side.
His figures are skewed a bit because of the shitty Russian league he played in however the club rate him, Moyes always saw him as a 'next year' player similar to Benny on the loose.
The club has high expectations for him, he works hard and created the first goal against Norwich and is slowly coming up to speed.

Re: ✍ Nikola Vlasic
Am I the only one slightly bemused by this ‘Noble should have a word with him’ business?
Let’s be honest here, Noble is not exactly adverse to buying a free kick here and there. Especially when we’re under a bit of pressure.

Antonio is a slightly different kettle of fish. He manages to make a genuine foul look like an over-dramatic dive. If he learnt to fall a bit more naturally, he'd win many more free kicks.
Re: ✍ Nikola Vlasic
I agree he goes down easily, so does Antonio except Antonio doesn't have any grace when he falls over it always looks like he's gone over unconvincingly.Turtlecharityracer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 10:26 am He dives when he has not been touched. It's called cheating.

Re: ✍ Nikola Vlasic
One little worry I have with Vlasic is how one footed he is. He always, always cuts back to his right before shooting or passing. He's not as bad as Yarmolenko and his left foot, but he is in that general vicinity. The more Nikola plays, the more he'll get sussed for it. He doesn't look as helpless as Yarmolenko when he uses his weaker foot so I hope he works on being a bit more balanced.

Re: ✍ Nikola Vlasic
Improving every game, so doing something right
Good he has stepped up when benrahma left for the afcon.
Will benrahma get his place back in February ? Good we have options .
Need the same for LB CB and CF

He also got nothing for being grabbed by the head and thrown to the floor. Perhaps he was trying to make up for it.Turtlecharityracer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 10:26 am He dives when he has not been touched. It's called cheating.
