Tuna Posted 3 November 2019 Posted 3 November 2019 No telling what damage has been done to Gomes Ankle just hope for his sake it's not as bad as it looks. Season's definitely over. Difficult to play a game of football after seeing that. Fortunately these sort of injuries are rare.
Dan Posted 3 November 2019 Posted 3 November 2019 I don't see how they can possibly persist with VAR in its current state.

His ankle looks a lot like how Amartey's was last year, its a long road back for him.
Tielemans63 Posted 3 November 2019 Posted 3 November 2019 Get well soon Andre Gomes. That was absolutely sickening.
fazzyfox Posted 3 November 2019 Posted 3 November 2019 In isolation Son's challenge may have been more of a yellow card but it demonstrates why the out of control challenge shouldn't be tolerated. Had Son not caught Gomes then he would have been going in for a challenge with Aurier in an orthodox manner and posture, the first foul on him meant he was falling in to it. It's like those situations where a CB shoves a CF into the path of an oncoming Goalkeeper. The keeper and CF are the ones that get the attention while the CB usually gets away with it. If your out of control recklessness put another player into a collision path you can't waive responsibility. Even so, the rules don't cover the aftermath of the yellow card trip in this way. Aurier's challenge went unpunished altogether, his opponents stride had changed at the last moment but he still seemed reckless and out of control so I'd probably say a yellow for both Son and Aurier. I wouldn't think either would want to play on however strong they are mentally.
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 3 November 2019 Posted 3 November 2019 The most Son should have had was a yellow since the actual tackle itself only warranted that. I really can't comment on Aurier's tackle, which could be red, since understandably there have no repeated replays but Gomes' foot seemed to lodge itself prior to that challenge. A very sad string of events whatever.
Jonezy Posted 3 November 2019 Posted 3 November 2019 Atkinson is really shit at times. How can you book a player and then red card him after seeing the injury? VAR needs to be used differently in english football. Its not working as intended at all.
lifted*fox Posted 3 November 2019 Posted 3 November 2019 some real lack of understanding in here lmao son trips gomes like any other player does a million times - some games that's a foul, some games it's a yellow, end of. aurier is running at gomes with the understanding that he's on his feet coming at him, within seconds he's tripped and falling towards him - he clatters him, it's awkward but not intentional. neither is a red and you can't make it one because something led to something else - the challenge itself is never a red - it doesn't become one because the fall from the challenge resulted in an awkward collision with another player.
Samilktray Posted 3 November 2019 Posted 3 November 2019 I’m with Finners on this, Son has quite clearly caused the injury due to his wrecklessness.

I know what you're thinking. 'Did he use 3 subs or only 2'? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I kind of lost track myself. But being that this is Dominic Calvert-Lewin, the most powerful centre forward in the world, and could smash one in from 30 yards, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?
Lionator Posted 3 November 2019 Posted 3 November 2019 It's obviously a shocking incident/accident. While as people say it's not a red if there's no injury, you have to take responsibility for other players. If you're cynically hacking players down like that then you have to accept the responsibility for the injury.
