junkhead Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It was a bad one but a completely unfortunate tackle. Their player extended his leg at the last millisecond. Could've been a yellow with a braver ref. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 28 minutes ago, Andy said: The tackle is just one of those things - no malice, mistimed; if it's a split second earlier his foot just catches their player's toe at worst. Not going to berate him for it, or the niggly fouls before that. If you take away the aggressive side of his game, you kill him as a midfielder. And that's all there's to that tackle. Deserved the red. Was absolutely instrumental to us winning the game in the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Lack of game for 3 weeks will be a kicker for match sharpness aswell. Assume he can play in behind closed doors games for fitness maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long term that might help towards the end of the season. Could paradoxically be good for us given that the first games are against relatively weak opposition. Will force Howe to return Joelinton to midfield and play ASM (or Gordon) in the front three. If Gordon doesn’t start expedite his inclusion as a 60 minute sub for Miggy— more like for like than Murphy. Once Howe has broken up the starting 11 maybe he’ll be more willing to start Isak. Wilson’s hold up play would be useful later in the game. The main thing for me is getting ASM and Isak sharp, and integrating Gordon as quickly as possible.

gjohnson Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It was an ankle breaker and a deserved red. S**t happens. Just have to deal without him for the next three....which is more concerning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey47 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 So is it confirmed he’s missing 3 games? Thought Fabinho’s challenge in the FA cup game yesterday was worse, got checked by VAR and only a yellow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Bad tackle but it happens. Fine margins in games. Ultimately, I thought we sat back far too much in the second half looking to counter and gave them momentum which led to this. Something to work on.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Seemed to lose composure after not being given the foul when he picked the ball up, but I don't think the red-card foul was linked to that. Was sort of like the Mitrovic one v Arsenal when he first arrived. Think it was a genuine attempt to win the ball, was just mistimed and dangerous as a result.
