He gives a lot of fouls away yes, generally as he does back in and the movement of his arms to get into positions. Some are fouls, the majority arent but the ref always gives fouls like that. Yesterdays ref however was aweful, thankfully this advantaged us as we would have conceded a penalty.
Pellès two major problems are;
1. He tries too many flicks when he could hold the ball up allowing others to join him.
2. He lacks composure and snatches at shots far too often
