Hence the yellow. Only made contact with the ball. As I said, stupid thing to do anyway.

That is a horrible result for ManU. You dominate the game and do not get a goal, but then Eze should've easily had two in that last twenty minutes of action lol.
It was more of an orange for me because he didn't make contact, but that tackle would have torn ligaments and broken bones if he did. Pretty absurd reffing once again since a red is justified, but I understand the yellow.

You're basically never going to get a red in the PL if you don't make contact with a player regardless of how awful the challenge was.

Contact with the ball doesn't matter, according to the letter of the law.

That's usually applied when there's also contact with a player. In this case there wasn't any. Also one could make a case that it wasn't a tackle per se but some weird attempt at trapping the ball?
It's either no yellow or a red.
With the delay, I thought it might be non-reviewable. Then there was a review. I throw my hands up.

Nah, handling the ball outside the box is yellow, he wasn't the last defender

A violent action doesn't have to be successful in order to be violent. It absolutely should've been a red, even if (luckily!) his opponent was not hit by it.
With regards to Vicario - I thought a keeper handle outside of the box in such a scenario was a red, regardless of last man/DOGSO? But maybe I'm just fully wrong on that.

Someone should have paid what Liverpool wanted for Kelleher. He’s better than a number of other clubs keeper
As for the yellow / red whatever, it’s so subjective there’s no consistency. There’s calls that have given red for less.

Completely agree on the violent conduct thing, but the PL just ain't gonna call them that way unless it's something that's like trying to Shawn Michaels Sweet Chin Music someone.
Regarding keeper handling outside the area, he's treated the same as a regular outfield player. As long as it isn't DOGSO, it's just a yellow.
