Tackling was, more or less, banned a while back so you may be right. I used to love a full on, blood and guts tackle, hard but fair. A player would be shot at dawn for one now. Aerial challenges the same, not the run of the mill set piece but a 5ft 7 tough midfielder aggressively winning a heading duel, letting his marker know he’s not going to be f*cked about with. Things of the past, by the looks, but those incidents didn’t half get the crowd going.

Zohore used to close his eyes when he went up for a header. Every time.

I’ll bet my bollocks you’ve roared as a City full back took the ball, the winger, his mother, his father etc, put them on their arse and emerged triumphant with the round bit of leather:hehe:

Weird, isn’t it? The art of heading is a beautiful thing when done well.

Colwill is a good player, he's gone up in my estimation, I think he'll be a key player next year and step up a lot, having Rambo here will be brilliant for his development, I hope Rambo can get fit and lead by example.
We need a lot but the focus has to be a decent Striker at least two wingers better than we've got, Phillips or as good and a solid left back. It's going to be a better more entertaining season!
