I think there is no dought he tripped him.
There were covering defenders. So absolutely not necessary either.
Jota went past Cantwell he chased him and brought him down from behind , absolutely no attempt for the ball.
I hate these kind of tackles , just brushed off by some as part of the game it’s reckless and is going to hurt someone and end their career .
Let’s not forget if you score a goal and remove your shirt it’s yellow.
But chop someone down from behind no attempt for the ball and it’s the same punishment.

If you class tripping as dangerous though, then there are literally countless other aspects that you could call dangerous as well. As Canary Yellow says, a shirt pull could be dangerous if it causes whiplash, and that's deliberate. You are just as likely to get injured from a fair tackle as you are from a trip, it's just unfortunate if you are.

He slides in and trips him. There's no excessive force or endangering of Jota, it's a clear foul of course, but under the rules as they stand I can't see how it's anything other than a bog standard yellow.



The laws of football are very clear that it's not a red card unless it involves excessive force or endangers an opponent, are you suggesting it falls in that category? Or that there should be a change in the rules such that there is a new red card offence?



I think either the rule has to be if there's no attempt to play the ball it's a red, or it's left as it is. Otherwise shirt pulling, which is every bit as cynical, and other minor trips where there is no attempt to play the ball, which are the same offence, would not be punished in the same way. I'm all in favour of removing cynical fouls from the game, but I don't really see how it's possible.

I have had this discussion before and I know what the rules say.
Yes I do think it should be changed for tackles like Cantwells .
To compare that to a shirt pull or a minor trip .
It’s a deliberate act and not just a reaction to your opponent which most of the time is 50/50 fighting for the ball.

It was post #14253 that I answered and agreed with .
That makes it clear that this sort of challenge should be treated differently and outlawed from the game.

Football eh? One game in and according the gist on this thread...

1. Arsenal will be relegated
2. City won't win the title
3. Utd are title favourites
4. Spurs don't need Kane
5. Grealish is an awful signing and doesn't suit City
6. etc.

Didn't take too long for this to turn in to the "what happened in the Liverpool game" thread ?.

Its almost like week on week there's a Liverpool game and then loads of little side show games going on.

I think the discussion is more about the foul as opposed to the team involved - and in fairness to the poster he made the same point when it happened to Sterling in the Euros and also when Gomez was badly injured because of it

Liverpool would’ve won the league if it wasn’t for that foul on Jota. Just wait.

You’re about as much fun as herpes on a first date, Phil.

No idea what he is like now - seemed pretty decent when last in the Prem and was touted as the next Maddison. As for the tackle - it was a foul , yellow card and move on

correct

He’s a good player, but not really the type of good player we need in my opinion. We’d be better with more pace and power and being able to hurt teams on the break/ transition.

He’s also not creative enough, his stats aren’t strong enough - not enough assists, although he’s done alright on the goals front last couple of seasons. Comparing him with buendia, for me there is no contest as to who is the star.

He’d probably suit a better side more than he does us - a prem team that pins teams in like we did to sides in the championship.

I don’t think he is the type of player that we will be looking at currently - more a wide player to support the front three ( if other players leave )

I would not get in front of him after Saturday.:eek:

That's the point. Do something on match day one, the rest of the season they all have respect. Like when someone is new to prison, break a leg, or be broken ;-)
How many people where looking for an argument with Keane or Cantona?



But seriously, yellow card all day, nothing more. Tactical would like so many that are applauded as clever by the pundits.

Not being funny .
The lads on here make more sense than pundits.

If your going to make a statement it should not be.” Left me for dead so I will bring you down from behind “
Do it looking him in the eye!

I doubt there’s any serious interest in him at the price that we would be after. I just don’t think he’s got the stats to back up a £30m plus price tag.

If he has a good season then it all changes.

Sadly no, the way the game is officiated now it's better to be more snide.


Also hilarious Liverpool fans don't want a "dirty" player in their team, after brown nosing Suarez.
