Deputy Dawg UK Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I was so so surprised that he was that badly injured ..yes a foul and yes a yellow card was really deserved but it looked a nothing tackle to be honest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hatem garrincha Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Professional foul, yellow card. As for Nasri, light a f***ing candle. This Aye. Not seen a replay of it yet, but from the stands it seemed clear that he just brought Nasri down to stop them breaking away. IIRC he had about three attempts at it. You need to see the replay then. Because it's a very bad tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It's a booking but it really didn't look that bad. Couldn't give a fuck though because he had a solid game, Nasri's a prat and the Tiote goal is the main talking point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hithere Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Just finished work and had a look at a gif. Yellow in my opinion. Saying that I watch Cattermole attempt to tackle every weekend so my views may be slightly skewed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I suppose it's borderline red? No intention for the ball yet if Nasri doesn't get injured Charlie Nicholas says it's a good foul to make, didn't he say that for the Zabaleta yellow?

Crayola Kid Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Doesnt have to be nasty to be a red. This could very easily have been a red. Not the worst you'll ever see, but a poor tackle compounded by the second sweep he took as Nasri looked to have ridden the first. I cant be the only one who enjoyed seeing Nasri take a hit mind, for all the diving and whining, and not just today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It was a poor challenge, but never a red. He is a good footballer this lad and needs to start playing at CB regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hatem garrincha Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 compounded by the second sweep he took as Nasri looked to have ridden the first. Exactly! A red for me. I like Mapou but it was a nasty tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It's a case of the injury being worse than the offence in my opinion. Bad tackle that could possibly have been given a red but you see challenges than that all the time, they just go by without much mention because no one got hurt.

Spot on, he's obviously meant to bring him down but I very doubt he's tried to 'do' him otherwise he wouldn't have needed 3 go's at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brazilianbob Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Bo**ocks to Nasri injury, its payback time for Ben Arfa's double leg break and not even a yellow card!!

I'm sure he wouldn't want to do in a fellow Frenchman that's mates with the rest of our squad and possibly even friends? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I always laugh at the whole "do that in the street and you'd get locked up" argument, as if football matches take place on Northumberland Street. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure 'but I got the ball' would wash with the police after any sort of tackle on a fellow shopper tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised he took so long staying down and that he was time-wasting. The tackle wasn't that bad to cause that kind of injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Mapou's head went a bit after the incident. Taking out a French international (team-mate of many of the most influential players on your own club side) in a world cup year doesn't sound like the right way to get a ticket to Brasil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
