I mean, as much as we want to see Murphy play - Ritchie has been pretty fucking outstanding in our run that saved us this season so all good...and Kenedy was on the other side of the pitch lighting it up as well.
Appeal rejected by the FA. Probably worried sick that a kick to the shin pads after being provoked could have killed the WBA player and ended his career.
of course it is, but the sheer fact of what is constituted as dangerous and violent is fucking terrible and up to some odd interpretation. Player of the year, Salah swiped at his opponent over the weekend and saw nothing.
I can argue that a kick to someone's shin pad and him falling over like a child is is hardly violence.
Taking a swipe at someone's head or going stud first into someone's knee or a deliberate elbow seems far more violent to me. But ho hum.
When he went for it at Everton he nearly slammed in a winner with his left foot if not for that goal-line clearance. Kid has talent, needs to impose himself.
