'We don't know what is a foul' - Nuno wants set-piece review
West Ham head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has voiced his concerns regarding the inconsistent application of fouling rules, particularly during set-pieces and corner kicks in the Premier League. With recent matches highlighting an increased focus on grappling and physical contests within the penalty box, Nuno believes there is a pressing need for officials to provide clear guidelines on what constitutes a foul. His frustration stems from a perceived lack of clarity, stating that "we don't know what is a foul" when it comes to these crucial moments. Nuno is advocating for a comprehensive review of set-piece officiating to ensure consistency and transparency, allowing players and coaches alike to understand the boundaries of legal contact and avoid subjective interpretations that can impact game outcomes.
