They mentioned it on motd, no idea, but its the first time I seen it anywhere.

Brentford did it a couple of times as well. Obviously a new thing but I hate it - we were straight under pressure every time

I was relieved that we didn’t try to play it out from the goal line too often yesterday and that PV is not too rigid in his thinking to fail to embrace a longer punt that bypasses the high press.

Did anyone see McArthur having a proper go at VG towards the end of the first half, presumably for poor distribution? Good to see him embracing the captaincy in a way that I’ve always thought lacking with Luka.

And I don’t think I’ve ever seen VG punch as much in a game. While the continental punch has its place, it seems to have become VG’s default option. I’m not convinced that he is in complete control of where the ball ends up and I can see trouble ahead if it continues.

Many teams have adopted this since the change in the law regarding goal kicks. Personally I think it’s a bad idea but I’ve got no coaching badges!
Yes too much punching. Ok when it’s crowded but there were times he could have caught it. He’s a good keeper but as others have inferred has indifferent distribution and not a play out from the back type. He was slow yesterday rolling it to the full backs when they had reasonable space
Still worth his place but I do wonder whether Butland may come through this season. To be fair a clean sheet is all we can ask of him. More pressing problems than between the sticks.
