yuomi Couple of words on the equaliser.
Morro runs off the pitch and stays there for >5 seconds spectating rather than trying to get back into the thick of it. Could have easily strode inside the post and blocked the final shot. Just stands there like a statue.
Rather than sliding to block, Holmes does some sort of a crazy somersault, taking himself out and opening up space for the shot.
I'm not a defender, but can anyone come up with reasonable explanations for either of these?
Absolutely i've just noticed this studying the replays, didn't see it at the time, and just commented on it on the Pauno Out thread.
Also goal 2 he seemed to be sort of nowhere near the goalscorer somehow... not sure if he's just lost his energy now?
Very odd behaviour. Surely just coming on and standing somewhere on the goalline in that scrap would've been reasonable. Holmes and Moore were running around like headless chickens during that little passage trying to keep the ball out. They couldn't have tried harder. Morro was standing off the pitch texting his mates while picking his nose just waiting for the ball to go in before flapping his arms. Not the sign of someone desperate to keep a winnign score.
