Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa joins AS Roma then Lyon

It's the triple punishment that's the thing for me. Red card, certain goal, and a ban.

 

Maybe they need to come up with categories of red card, some of which don't carry a ban.

 

I'm with this post. I also just hate the soft overdramatic contacts that become more than they should. Call me old school at heart.

I know what you mean, it's not really a foul that's worthy of a red. The problem is that you have to have a punishment that stops people just bringing down every forward who's through on goal.

Nah I don't think so. All they need to do is remove the instant red card for those kind of offences and judge it based on each situation.

Yeah, and I won't even pretend say I know what a better way or better solution would be. If we want to talk letter of the law with Mapou's red, then Gerrard's professional foul on Remy should have seen yellow with letter of law and he should have went off, right?

The worst thing you do from this is beat down on Mapou after team put in a shift to get a point. The best thing you do is to big up a young man's confidence and tell him he was outstanding before the send off and that's the type of football that validates why we signed him and why we believe in him to be a future star for the club.

Well, that was a shame, he had a decent game before that moment of idiocy. Still think we have a great player in the working there - that is, when he fully adapts to the PL (à la Colo hopefully), he'll be an asset for us.

 

Sincerely hope his mental strength holds up and his confidence isn't too shattered from that, especially when it was his first game since he had that nightmare performance against Everton - it's all down to him though but think he needs some sort of arm around his shoulder.

For an INTERNATIONAL PLAYER he's seemingly prone to idiotic mistakes.

 

Needs to sort himself out sharpish.

 

Young CB's do seem the be that way inclined at times. I always forget just how young he actually is.

I honestly don't know if it was even 'idiocy'. A ball comes over, you battle for the ball like you always do. Your hand goes on to the opponent, he goes over.

 

It's easy to say he should have just let Suarez go but footballers don't have those instincts.

I put the blame more at Tiote's door for playing Suarez on tbh. There's not a lot else he could have done other than just let Suarez shoot, which you just don't do. It's a shame cos he was looking superb up until that point.

Real shame. Seemed on his way to rebuilding his confidence with a solid first half. Tiote has done his mate no favours because he's played on Suarez and that's led to Mapou panic and desperate try to get back at Suarez.

 

Hope this doesn't set him back even further as he could of had a run of games but now he's banned.
