Burnley player got sent off today against Liverpool for almost the same tackle whilst on a yellow. On both occasions, you also have to credit the attackers quick feet and skill for creating the suituation. It happens, we move on.
That’s exactly what I said to my boy during the game thought the final foul was CC as well would need to see again
Silly boy though hopefully he learns from it but again it’s that step up in pace and things he got away with last season won’t happen in this league
These are the sort of errors that should be reviewed at half-time and the ref should be aware of. I'd dispute that the 2nd was a nailed on yellow because the later foul on Carey was worse and not carded.
The game is full of instances where a guy on a yellow is shown leniency for a 2nd offence.
One blip (which he will learn from) in a so far bright career with us. He seems like a decent guy too. As others have rightly said- but for him we might still be slopping out in League One. He's still massively in credit as far as I'm concerned.
rush of blood - a mistake he'll learn from - he's a top player but still young and as everybody has said, he's well in credit - be interesting to see who NJ replaces him with next week - his pace will be missed if gillesphey or burke come in

His decision making for the 3rd against QPR was also poor, so he needs to realise he's not above this level, unlike L1.
Just put it down to a learning curve - he wont do it again.
