Me too, no one should be subjected to a headbutt at work (especially when it was actually his 2nd attempt at doing so!)

let’s hope the injury isn’t too serious from all the rolling around
 
Dry pitch again?

How much time does Zaha spend messing around with his socks and shorts during a game?

Well that's interesting. Hair pulling "not considered an offence"?? That opens up a gigantic can of worms doesn't it? I think @Swango1980 was right earlier - skinheads and short back and sides all round or you're going to be very easy to mark at corners!

And completely contradictory to the retrospective action taken against Huth for the same offence.

It's good to know that the rules will be applied consistently by the guardians of the game. :rolleyes:
 
Well it was certainly an exciting game , we couldn’t finish a crossword in the first half and smacked by a sucker punch - heck of a finish from Zaha

Second half same story until Nunez reacted stupidly , hopefully he will learn from that but CB’s are going to goad strikers, and Anderson was certainly all over the players

Great finish from Diaz who was superb second half and a few other chances could have got the win

Impressed with Elliot - certainly looks like he is going to be a hell of a player

Wasn't that before VAR (2016)? So the only action possible was subsequent/retrospective action?
 
Liverpool badly miss Mane, impossible to replace over a long season especially as Salah as been off it since January. One of the worst Liverpool displays I've seen, the back up isn't good enough. TAA playing so far forward when he's got nothing in his locker apart from exploiting space and crossing was desperate stuff. Early days yet but you can't afford to give City a 4 point start especially when the games have been easy.

Zaha is so talented on the ball and if he could finish he'd be playing for one the elite sides. Awful snatchy shots and more concerned about being a victim and complaining about free kicks. Such a waste of abilty.

We were 14 points behind City half way through last season

We played like that many times with Mane in the team - Diaz was superb , Nunez wasn’t on it and what we did miss was having Jota to bring on

It’s all looking a bit rusty at the moment
