Depends on the context, doesn’t it. If a player gets clear of everyone and then is pulled down, then there’s still a good argument for a red.
But this one wasn’t in his own half, so that’s a pointless hypothetical as it’s not a direct comparison.
You need to call it a day and sleep. It’s his first start for us.
I would sell him in Jan

Why wait? Sell him at halftime.
I agree. Can’t keep doing this every other week. So far, we are the least convincing of the 3 sides in the title race. Got some good results but performances have been meh and we can’t help but make matters difficult for ourselves.
X or Y player could slip over and not score, but it’s reasonable to think that won’t happen. Just like it’s reasonable to say Evanilson has a good chance at scoring a goal in that situation.
Bournemouth are trash
I’m ready to put this game behind us already. Looking forward to next week and the league cup games since I finally get a chance to head to an away match. Hopefully we keep 11 on the pitch then and batter them.
Disagree, Liverpool have been the least convincing they’ve just been lucky the teams haven’t punished their shit defending.
Us and city are much the same, some off games defensively but usually win. Refs haven’t helped us.

Don’t even like taking off Sterling tbh
In this kind of game would rather have him on as threat on the counter than Trossard

The last man rule is pretty straightforward to me already.
How far is far for people to argue if defender is quick enough to recover and get ahead of the striker??
If the striker is the already in a breakaway mode and defender take him down, it is a straight red.
Fair and simple.
Just unfortunate the red is on us.

Nah, if anything we have been the most convicing so far tbh. Only dropped points have been in games where we have gone down to ten.
Liverpool have had an absolute joke draw to start and we almost beat City who also could have easily dropped points at home to Fulham.

That cunt ref is filth, giving me a ticket for running an amber light.
Really up against it now. Awful from Trossard.
We need Jesus on.
