What was he thinking though, must be some bad blood between the two because that was just crazy!

Is that the bar for a malicious tackle? Whether or not the fouled player is alive?
If there was intent, he'd be en route to the hospital right now with broken ribs. Quite obvious the player tried going for the ball and pulled out at the last second, think thats what the commentator meant. Still a red of course.

Shit challenge and definite red but I assume it wasn't that painful for Grealish. Studs grazed his stomach and thigh, it wasn't a kung fu kick straight into the stomach.

Tell me you've never had your stomach grazed by studs without telling me you've never had your stomach grazed by studs.

what is it? like 4 weeks without United in the league - and having to watch City/Haaland and hearing the commentators talking about "they're close to perfection"

surely this is purgatory

The thread title - please, this cannot be allowed here. For gods sake someone has passed away, this is not right mods. I know this poster has a longstanding history here, but this is not right. I can't be the only one that thinks this?

Does City have someone injured? First time seeing their teamsheet, and bench strikes rather weak compared to their previous seasons.
They are great team. BUT I do wonder what happens when Haaland gets injuried? And he will looking at previous seasons. They are big in numbers in their defensive but they lack firepower once Haaland gets injuried because team is setup to play to his strenght. That is difference to previous Guardiola teams.

A Rodri/De Bruyne/Haaland red card wouldn't go amiss. I wonder who they have next in the league.

Grealish rolls about like that when someone clips his heels. It’s hard to tell what’s genuine.

It’s hilarious that he claimed injury to avoid facing Almiron and Newcastle though. Speaks volumes about him.

Oh no I agree it was painful but a kungfu kick into the stomach would be a lot worse.

Just saying the red was for potential damage because he endangered the opponent than the actual damage he caused.

You have a bunch of challenges with similar force grazing the calves, thighs etc without reds.

The main photo on the BBC site doesn’t even look like studs. His foot turned away.

Still a red.

Agreed. Below the eyes is fair game for grazing.
