24/25 English Cup thread

[BrokenFace]

My Danso take is looking pretty solid.

On the topic of CBs, Van Dijk looks so good because he can do whatever he wants without getting carded or even called for a foul. The PGMOL plot armor is thick.

He's just great at the Dark Arts, as all great CBs are

Saying this after the Declan Rice foul yesterday is rich.

That shouldn’t be a thing when VAR can see elbows and shoulders and stamps. But for some reason those aren’t cards when Liverpool does it.

This is such a nothing play and you’ve posted a tweet from an Everton fan. There is nothing at all to see here. They got tangled up, and then Richarlison pretended he got hit in the face. Rice’s tackle yesterday was so much worse than this

1) It's a funny tweet whether it's from an Everton fan or not.

2) VVD clearly intentionally swings his elbow at him well after them being tangled up. Hits him below the face, but should have been a yellow at the very least.

3) The Rice tackle should have been a yellow, but it's not worse than intentionally throwing your elbow towards a players head (even if he got him in the throat).

They got tangled up. Shit happens. You can find a similar sequence in almost every game in almost every league in almost every week. The difference is Richarlison’s play acting. It’s a nothing burger.

Rice went knee high on a guy and was no where near the ball. And if we want to talk about intentional throwing Gabriel took a windup and swing at Trippier yesterday too where he was looking right at him but missed. That was worse than this too. There is simply nothing in this. Richarlison didn’t even cover up the part of his body that got touched

You're saying "Rice went knee high" as if he went full VVD on Onana with his studs. He cut across Bruno and should have gotten a yellow for it.

And no, this play doesn't happen every game. Most players are not out there throwing their elbows at their opponents. He didn't go full Harry Kane with his elbow, but that was a dirty play.

Show both the tackles then

He got tangled up with a guy he was standing next to and the arm went up. This was less intentional than Gabriel throwing at Trippier. I’m good.

I’m not talking about this anymore this is dumb.

"Arm went up" is lol funny

Agreed

 

[Jussi]

Clear intent to elbow the face and he jumped: that should be 5 and a game and at least 5 games suspension.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Yeah, that's not a nothing play.
