TRon Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 There's only one match which I'm really not happy about him missing, and that's against Liverpool. I've been looking forward to giving them payback all season for robbing us of our unbeaten run, but that is going to be exponentially harder without our best player in such a key position.

Nope, said Liverpool one should have been a red, Bruno’s was a pretty shitty tackle so wouldn’t waste time as remember someone being given an extra game for a “spurious appeal”.

wiseman Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Would be great having a full strength squad against Liverpool, but I would bet good money that Bruno being out for 3 weeks because of a silly mistake will have him completely fired up for the final and go in with a point to prove Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Red card being multi game ban is still just simply odd business to me. You already lose said player for that match, perhaps the nature of the offense should determine the actual penalty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still a team full of high class internationals, we saw that when we were beating them at Anfield, then we could barely get the ball off them in the second half.

That was a while back, they've more injury problems since then and have never looked convincing whenever I've seen them. Bruno a big miss but I still fancy us to beat them at SJP.

I’m happy for Bruno to walk when it goes wrong (like it did last night) but 3 games is too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Had no idea it was considered dangerous play, fair enough. Just feel that exact tackle was a split second ball win or nasty foot stamp. I consider dangerous play to be far worse than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both players basically made the same action, because the Southampton player skidded over the ball and his foot came down where Bruno couldn't have anticipated.

Kanj Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Imo that exact tackle is a 1 game ban. He didn’t punch a fella, he didn’t break a leg by going high on a knee or do the 2 legged challenge thing, or the second leg breaker follow through.

Yorkie Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Yeah, even just two games would be somewhat more proportionate. Will be interesting to see how much we miss him. His quality is undeniable but it's only appeared in flashes since his wee man was born; there's a very clear 'before and after' in terms of his performances imo. I kinda think he's been asking for a red too in terms of some of how he's been going into challenges. As it happened last night's was pretty unlucky despite being the correct call. There could be benefits to this. He'll be very well rested and massively up for it come final day, like. Hopefully can finish the season in the way he started it.

The College Dropout Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Liverpool will be right up for the game. If they find some form between now and then.. at worst they'll be 7 points behind with an opportunity to cut it to 4 points. If we end that 3 game run at least 7 points clear of them, I reckon we'll finish ahead of them. Massive 3 games to come. We'll need new heroes.

Why is he coming up so high? He's nowhere near the ball too. Not as bad as Fabinho's but pretty awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 So high? It was ankle - but timed any differently he misses completely, gets foot or wins the ball. That player was Bambi on ice out there with his wild dribbling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to see Cabaye make similar fouls for the same reason. It's not intentional, just when you are up against someone with pace it's easy to miss the tackle by a split second.
