Players do this in just about every match you've ever watched, you've just not noticed it, players talk with each other in El Classico, they are professional players not robots and fans are pretty delusional about how they think players should behave.
That anyone has a problem with a guy swapping a shirt at half time but thinks it's fine at full time....

At least this is a fun game to watch, end to end and Liverpool have chances.
True, professionals don't care about rivalries, fans do.

He gives the ball away time and again whilst going forward. He's shocking positionally.
He has been shocking for the last 2 seasons for us but we seem to have accepted it

Even in games where they have brawls, that is just adrenaline/aggression, the players will calm down and half of them will be talking to guys on the other team as other players are still fighting, then they talk in the rest of the game after, this happens in the biggest derbies. Players do care about rivalries, fans play a part in that though, louder crowds and bigger reactions to fouls pumps up players a bit more and they do care more about losing/winning against a big rival, but it doesn't fundamentally change how they act at all, nor should it. Only fans who think they should basically hate another guy for 90 minutes remotely believe that.
The only sports where people often try and drum up some genuine hate for each other is boxing and that type of thing but that is a very different situation where your goal is quite literally to hurt the other person.
Exactly, I don't see a problem swapping shirts at half time.....odf thing to get bent out of shape about, guess fans just hate Mario because he isn't Suarez.

One of the, players who just seems to be in a managers must picks yet infuriates everyone else, Valencia being ours.
Liverpool have had some good chances here where the last ball has just been lacking. Could be 3-2 or 3-3.

People will complain about the way a player holds a bottle or puts on his coat if they are upset with the player to begin with, it's just another excuse. I said at the time it was ridiculous to get upset at Santos for the shirt thing, his football or the amount Wenger decided to give him a week to play that badly, sure, but giving a shirt away, the fake outrage was embarrassing. Had say Henry done it no one would have mentioned it, it was just another thing to lash out at Santos for, or in this case Balotelli.

You do wonder if Arsenal have ever had a training session that includes shooting from outside the box.
How Ronaldo didn't score that I don't know.
