The offence should lead to a red card, just as a defender gets a red for a cynical foul when an opponent is through on goal.
Have to agree, I think it should carry the same punishment if you have a deliberate handball on the line, that carries a straight red card.
Interesting line up by Sir Michael!! 25 Gerhard Tremmel Goal Keeper 22 Angel Rangel Defender 6 Ashley Williams Defender 16 Garry Monk Defender 21 Dwight Tiendalli Defender 20 Jonathan de Guzman Midfielder 26 Kemy Agustien Midfielder 12 Nathan Dyer Midfielder 11 Pablo Hernandez Midfielder 15 Wayne Routledge Midfielder 10 Danny Graham Striker Substitutes 1 Michel Vorm Goal Keeper 2 Kyle Bartley Defender 7 Leon Britton Midfielder 17 Itay Shechter Striker 19 Luke Moore Striker 24 Sung-Yeung Ki Midfielder 33 Ben Davies Defender
No Chico anywhere - is he injured or just rested. Ki not starting either, says something I think about is hot/cold play. If the three Pablo, dyer, Routledge turn it on like they did against WBA this could be a great game.
i'm assuming tremmel is getting a run out, but with chico presumably injured then this is quite a brave decision. in truth i didn't see this line up at all. i think we may need to score a couple today
On with cool sport. Nice DG finish. We are gaining strength in this game, Berbatov is going to be a contact threat though.
