Fantail Breeze Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Not sure how it’s even being debated. Regardless of what his intent was, or how he stumbled, it was a shit challenge and could’ve seriously injured an opponent. You just can’t go studs up on someone’s leg.

Anderson Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 He’s not going for the ball, trying to put himself between the man & the ball. He’s off balance though & clatters into the player. Don’t think there’s any great force in it either. Could understand sticking with the decision if the ref had given it on the field, but not enough to go back and give it for me. Ref was looking straight at it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I’m not complaining about a red, you get them for less than that in today’s game. That said, he was knocked off balance and was trying to shield the ball, it’s something that could happen to anyone. Unlucky more than anything IMO.

Tsunami Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 It was a reckless, leg breaker, very poor decision to do what he did. He should have gone down under the push and hoped for a foul. If someone did that to me when I played I’d have gone ballistic. I’m not sure how Oliver missed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to play all over. Can’t be many more likeable players in the PL at the moment; always looks like he’s having a blast and seems a good guy off-field too. Shame he’s so injury prone.

Guest Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Reminded me of Mitrovic’s red v Arsenal. Wasn’t intentional and you can see what he was trying to do, but was dangerous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marseille is class. Just don’t go when England knackers are in town. Saying that, as a derby, you’d be hard pressed to get two different cities. Weirdly, as Ligue Un is placid as you like, it would only be OL v St Etienne I can think would match up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my exact thought, they made a big deal about him having a look and he did but his motion was to try and plant his foot between himself and the player to get in front. Fornals just went for the ball and it looked like a stamp as a result. Perez wasn't actually trying to touch the ball. Can see why it was given but I'd have made it a last chance yellow on review personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Fair enough, you say potato as well. Planting his foot, not trying to touch the ball, had a look (to see where Fornals was) all led to endangering the other player. I’d have given a red in any decade tbh, you can’t have 1 player going for the ball and the other planting his foot like that when he’s already out of control. Anyway, it’s been done to death.
