I've heard that Martinez was down for about 5 minutes after getting a knee to the head. He was then allowed to play on. 10 minutes later he needs to come off, and concussion substitution used.

I'm guessing it is pointless asking anyone to tell a player they must come off, they rarely do. You'd think if someone was down for 5 minutes after a blow to.the head, that would be a good sign to get him off before play is restarted. Bet they'll be all over that on MOTD
 
Have to hand it to de Bruyne, that was some quality free kick this afternoon. We normally blame the defence when one goes in, but we all just commented on how good the goal was. We weren’t convinced there was a foul on Grealish for the free kick though!

Unfortunately it was a soft foul and it’s one that Grealish gets a shed load of. One of the reasons he was brought in. Thing is he was going nowhere.

Was disgraceful from the Villa medics. Keeper took a clear knee to the side of the head from Mings at pace....5 minutes on the floor he looked all over the place. Villa medics should have had him off the park for his own safety. Medics responsibility is to the health and wellbeing of the player....not to the number of points in the league table.

Having chosen not to have taken him off at the first time of asking Villa should not have been able to replace him with a concussion substitute...should have been part of the regular 5 subs.

Good point, I agree. If a club are happy to risk the welfare of a player to try and get a result, they shouldn't get the concussion sub when the player is struggling after.
