RowlattsFox Posted 29 November 2020 Share Posted 29 November 2020 It's the same as when a keeper takes players out. It's just ignored as part of the game, plenty of players attack the ball like that and nothing will happen. Luiz has to realise he isn't going to make the ball and stop himself. What can you do as a rule though? Say players aren't allowed to give themselves a running jump? Zonal marking hasn't helped Jimenez either. I don't like giving reds based on the injury, but when we see what reds are given for these days it's a bit ridiculous that you can take a player out late with your head.

Innovindil Posted 29 November 2020 Share Posted 29 November 2020 A strange question, but does anyone who was watching from the start know if there was a throw in between the start of the match and the injury please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as he might feel OK just after the incident, he or his team's physio shouldn't be the ones to call it. If you do that, one day there will be a tragedy on the pitch. Shocking that's he able to carry. Where's the duty of care to the player? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 29 November 2020 Share Posted 29 November 2020 (edited) Great goal from Podence but I'm still fuming about Luiz being on the pitch. You're entitled to jump in for headers yes, but at that speed when he's nowhere near favourite to win the ball, with Jimenez with his back to him, he's reckless, out of control and endangering an opponent. This isn't just a head injury, it's potentially career and life threatening. He could have untold damage to his skull and brain. If the FA don't retrospectively ban him I'll be furious, regardless of whether Jimenez is OK or not. If it was Vardy currently off in hospital you'd be fuming just the same.

Super_horns Posted 29 November 2020 Share Posted 29 November 2020 Luiz probably shouldn’t be on the pitch just from a health point of view ? Hope Jimenez is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 29 November 2020 Share Posted 29 November 2020 People can go in with malice with their feet and know they could do damage to another player and be relatively ok themselves. Not sure the same can be said of people leading with their own head. It’s an accidental collision (as happens in contact sport), he’s got his own head bleeding and bandaged up, I don’t think he can be lambasted or banned for some malicious intent. Best wishes for Jimenez but Luiz doesn’t deserve any punishment or hate for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I am for Jiminez. Accidents do happen sometimes, but I'm sure you don't need me to point that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 29 November 2020 Share Posted 29 November 2020 I just think if defenders start pulling out of aerial battles like that then they might as well ban heading altogether. It's just an unfortunate accident compounded by the serious injury to Jiminez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s accidental but it’s ridiculously reckless the way he powered into that and it should be a Red. Son was reckless but accidental when he injured Gomez but still deserved a red card. The way the worlds gone is mad , where Pepe pushes his head into the Leeds lad and he goes down like he’s been shot, there’s outrage of a stone old red , yet serious incidents that could(I really pray not) end careers are not punished are just ridiculous. Pray for Raul 🤞🙏🙏🤞 Son's red for that was rescinded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can be reckless in a challenge then diving head first at full speed into another players head should be just as reckless. I don't know if you're joking or not.
