There was a moment against Brighton where Christian Pulisic had his shirt pulled in the area before he got a shot away. Is there a reluctance from referee’s to give fouls for these incidents?
“There is a balance referees have got to strike. On the one hand, there was an argument that they were giving penalties that were too soft. And on the other, the flip side to that, is we don’t get those you are talking about. It’s a tricky one and I’ve got enough problems myself without worrying about the referee’s problems. But we obviously wanted the penalty in that incident.”
How wary do you have to be coming up against a side fighting to survive in the Premier League another year?
“You always have to be wary in the Premier League. You can’t say it’s the greatest league in the world and then think there are easy games. There aren’t. Forest got a fantastic result against Liverpool before the break and I have huge respect for Steve Cooper and the job he has done there. He is a fantastic coach.
