Horrendous. Hopefully Patricio gets lucky because that looked awful. It's never a good sign when a player doesn't move a muscle. And then they don't show a replay at all.

Good win, but feels a bit cold talking about the football right now.

No I disagree .
If he puts the flag up and the whistle goes it dosnt happen.
It’s a bad rule brought in for VAR ,and a accident waiting to happen.

But will concede it might have made no difference but it just might of.
Just hope the lads ok.

I agree that the rule is a poor one and would get rid of it but they won’t because of VAR

In this incident I don’t think it would have made a difference

The good news is he is apparently awake and talking and has full recollection of the incident

I disagree, whilst we still have VAR. Yes, there is always a chance that there may be a bad injury, but too many times linesmen flag when someone is level or on. Yes, when they are certain and its by a yard or two, but when its quick runs, crossing over, dont flag.

If we get rid of VAR, fair enough.

That could have been a pen a few minutes in.

Fair question! And tbf, how VAR missed the pen right at the start of the game I'll never know. Absolute stone wall on Semedo for me. I'd be fuming if it had been the other end.

great news that Patricio is up and talking. he's gonna have a stonking headache in the morning!

In my honest opinion this incident was avoidable.
The outfield players may not have had time to react .
But the keeper would have seen the flag and heard the whistle if blown after the flag went up.
He then would not try and make the save.

Anyway we’re just guessing so it’s if and buts.
As long as the lads ok that’s all that matters.(y)

Wow this goalie situation is not good.
They haven't shown a single shot of what's happening, that's always a sign it's a bad one ?

I found the video on Twitter last night, don't know if it's still there. Basically Coady running back towards his own goal, eyes on the ball, the keeper comes flying out and Coady goes over/through him. It looked like his knee must have caught Patricio's head.


In general I agree about the late flags being stupid and potentially causing incidents, however in this particular incident it could only have gone up one or maybe two seconds earlier, and I believe Salah, Patricio & Coady would have still done what they did since you play to the whistle. The keeper wouldn't just see the flag and not do his job since the ref might disagree.
 
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Manchester United), Sam Johnstone (West Brom), Nick Pope (Burnley).

Defenders: Ben Chilwell (Chelsea), Conor Coady (Wolves), Eric Dier (Tottenham), Reece James (Chelsea), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Atletico Madrid), Kyle Walker (Manchester City).

Midfielders: Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jesse Lingard (West Ham, on loan from Manchester United), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Kalvin Phillips (Leeds), Declan Rice (West Ham), James Ward-Prowse (Southampton).

Forwards: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa).


I can't believe Lingard has made it off about 4 games but there you go. Doesn't take much to get into such a poor midfield I suppose - and Southgate always liked him before. Great that Pickford is missing, I know he's injured, but either way it gives the others a chance to step up and make that place their own. Bellingham is a left-field pick, I've never seen him in real life but he was amazing on Football Manager 20. ?

To be fair lingard has been one of the most in form players in the league since he signed. Just because he broke your heart ?

4 goals , 2 assists (one only was winning a pen but by fantasy football goes down) in 6 games .. thats pretty decent form , plus grealish out someone got to take his place
 
Not seen any of the football tonight, but anyone got any clues who Mourinho is gonna blame for tonight’s defeat.
