you guys need your heads examined. Diving two footed scissor tackles from behind are okay now?

The reason two footed challenges get reds is because of this exact reason. They injure people.

Watched it again just to see how bad the tackle was and his leg was just dangling there all limp

Jesus, absolutely horrible and it’s a red due to the injury caused. All day, every day.

I don't get that argument at all I'm afraid. Should Riise have been sent off when he broke Alan Smith's leg with that free kick?

Is Mane one of those 50 year old Africans that lies about their age because he looks like he's aged 10 years over the last two seasons.

 

[adam cool dude]

That wasn’t a red card. Just really unfortunate

Agreed it was gut wrenching yes but that seemed to bias the decision.

That is quite possibly the worst/dumbest comparison you could've made lol. (And not really effective if that is what you're going for as this wasn't a clear case of being 'freak')
There have been legitimate freak leg breaks in a tackle when someone shouldn't see a red card

Mane seems to of started this year same as last season went so far :/

Not at all. My point is simply that you can't decide whether something is a foul / yellow / red card on the basis of the damage caused. It has to be based on the action.

I've already said I'm not watching it back and I don't know if this was a red card or not, but you can't say it was simply because of the outcome.

His premise was "it's a broken leg therefore a red card". The Riise one makes that clearly absurd.

'2-0 and you still don't sing'. Yeah wonder why you degenerates

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Not sure if it's long COVID or something but his blistering pace has completely gone. Expected him to burst away from the defender before we got the corner Fab scored from but he was treading water.

 

[Tombstone]

Mane still has the pace and movement but his finishing seems to have completely gone, its like he is Mane above the shins and El Hadji Diouf below the shins

 

[badgeruk]

Sigh...

Think he needs to start falling over again when he shoots.

 

[manic111]

Thankfully he can't gob on people from below his shins

 

[Mark1989]

Mane has been woeful today

 

[Purdy]

Bamford is great, done well most of the day

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Thiago caught on the ball yet again, have we been sold a replica rather than the real one?

 

[manic111]

Bamford is great, done well most of the day

Yeah he's class, great attitude as well

It could be covid possibly who knows, all this is showing me so far is I'm convinced we should have signed an attacking player even more so now Elliott is out.

 

[adam cool dude]

Because nobody wants to see it FFS. Times have changed, we saw the reaction from Salah it was bad.

Contradict much.

 

[Reuben klang]

It’s a freak accident, feel for him. However just sending him of because of the injury is wrong. Not a red. I get why they done it but it shouldn’t be the case.

 

[manic111]

Kalvin Phillips has saved two great chances with insane tackles today
