With no fans in the ground and no “crowd noise” you can hear the Hollywood death screams every time they are tackled!
Defenders are called out when mistakes are made but with the current laws of arms not in a unnatural position, no bumping into anyone, no last ditch tackles if you take the man as well as the ball, there was contact and the attacker deliberately ran into you or tripped over your foot – it’s a tough game for defenders.
No excuse for Clarke by the way, but he also deserves credit for the way he has played at centre back.
