I mentioned this in the bailey thread. It was more a pat on back than high fove. But still pretty pathetic when he has injured your team mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like he's sprained his ankle. Over extension of his foot in that tackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filthy career threatening tackle, and we'll be lucky if he's not out for more than 2 months. Exxactly, just before it I had been commenting to the guy next to me how I couldn't believe how they were getting away with their repeated lunges in from behind & the side. They were clearly on instruction to get dirty. The timing of the hand slaps between them said it all too, if it had been straight after the tackle then fine, that is a kind of "good tackle" acknowledgement. The fact this was actually done only after several minutes, when he was being carried off and the sub was coming on, clearly says the objective was to remove him from the game surely? That is very different. They had already clobbered us about 6 or 7 times prior to that & continued to do so afterwards too (as evidenced by the red card). I don't see that as me "over-reacting" personally but each to their own. Edited March 5, 2023 by danceoftheshamen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Watkins was going to be out for months and he came back after a week I think. As bad as the tackle was (scissor tackle from behind, trapping the players foot and forcing the leg forward), it was at least fairly low velocity, so it could look worse than it is. I really hope that's the case, even if I don't think it will be. Throw in our recent records with Carlos and Wesley that have somehow managed to be worse than I first expected and we've got some terrible form leading in too this. Maybe about time it goes our way for a change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 The problem with our team is when someone from our spine is injured then we see a large drop in quality. If anyone out of Martinez, Mings, Kamara and Watkins are injured then I find it difficult to see us picking up points. If kamara is out for the rest of the season and emery manages to get us around 50 points by the end of season then that will be one hell of an achievement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo is pretty accurate: He's attempting a tackle from a dangerous position (behind) He has left his feet to make the tackle At the very best, he's about 20% chance to touch the ball... ... but he's always going to get the man first - he's already taking the standing foot What the photo doesn't show is: He never actually got a touch on the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signs are that Doucoure is a dirty player. The way he flew in on chambers especially after injuring Kamara was ridiculous. If he had got a stronger connection could have easily broken chamber's leg. That should have been a straight red imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
