Personally thinking physically assaulting players ruins the game more, but what do I know. That's pretty much was what Cesar Azpillicueta said post match .

Presumably until he genuinely hurts someone and the media all suddenly notice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly everyone is "that sort of player" at times..... some are obvious some clever and some due to a circumstance....extremes are "retaliating first" and the instinctive lash out. If I read one more hypocritical player or official stating the "eye on the ball" defence I will truly explode.......total B******S!! Knowing where the player is is all that's needed. Mane knew exactly what he was doing...the rigid forearm is not a "natural" limb position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Singleton Report post Posted January 4 The one disappointing thing to come out of Tuchel's press conference was him NOT mentioning that Sky had sat on the interview for three weeks and released it just before the Liverpool game. Positives are that Lukaku has apologised for doing the interview and that for those that really matter (ie Tuchell), all is OK as the bits reported in the UK media in no way matched what he was seeing from Lukaku in training or in the games he played since coming back from injury and CCovid. In other news, Werner did a full session yesterday with no problems, and if he does a full session this afternoon, he should be on the bench tomorrow with the hope of giving him some minutes. Christensen a doubt. Chalobah out (as are, of course, James and Chilwell) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
