They're not showing replays, but apparently Coady ran into him when chasing back

Surprised Tyler didn't blame 'The Egyptian'.

First serious injury caused by a linesman delaying the offside flag?

Yeah very good point.

I absolutely despise it, players shouldn't have to run any further than necessary and this rule's been asking for some kind of injury all season. Sadly, it's probably worst case scenario now.

That was a close decision though, imagine him flagging and Salah was onside. Some of them are silly though when the players are miles off and they don't raise their flag.

 

[antijoke]

Rewound it and watched it, yep keeper got smashed in the head, looked like he went right out of it.

 

[CliffyG]

Yep there was one this weekend where the linesman let the attacker run 30 yards then stuck his flag up as soon as he touched it. It's ridiculous.

It was close but he thought it was offside so should have flagged.

Pretty sure Bamfords injury last weekend was from a delayed offside call....

It may not have changed much here, but Salah could have been 5 yards off and the laws say that the linesman still shouldn't flag

 

[Purdy]

Pretty sure the move had a good chance of being complete by time linesmen lifts flag and ref blows. This ain’t the incident to highlight that issue at all

Hopefully keeper is grand

 

[Tombstone]

What the hell was that from Mane at the end, perfectly good attack and then he just stopped in his tracks and didnt seem to want to pass it and got it nicked off him instead.

It is and it isn't. I agree that the late flag probably hasn't caused the injury here, but the same thing could happen with the player much further offside, and I'd hope this makes the point well enough for the debate to be had

 

[antijoke]

Big win for us, woeful performance in general though.

mane was so bad.

 

[manic111]

I don't understand Nuno's coat... What's up with the top bit that looks like a bib?

 

[Purdy]

And for all the calls the linesman flags that’s too early and wrong? This one was very close and could easily have been wronf

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Probably the better team over 90 minutes but not a great display. Thought Trent, Nat Hyypia and Jota were excellent tonight though.

Get well soon Patricio.

Needs to see a sports psychologist or something, his head doesn't look in it atm.

 

[BaZ87]

That was a bit of a grind. We've played better than that in a number of the games we've lost but a win's a win. Fingers crossed Patricio's injury isn't as bad as it looks.

Oh and I really hope somebody is having a word with Mane after the game. I'm losing count of the amount of times he's being fouled in the penalty area and staying on his feet, only to be rewarded with **** all.
