Just pick the squad on 1 June? Seems a bit unfair to some poor sod to get a call up and think he's going then be told just a few days later he isn't. Wants to get as many together as soon as possible I guess, and there is the risk of injury to Man City, Chelsea and Man Utd players in their games this week so covering all bases I guess.

bobzy Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 My first view was that it was accidental to be honest. But I'm very surprised it's been overturned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Hutchison made an interesting point in that you can tell from the grimace on his face before the elbow came out that it was deliberate. Looked like he was bracing for impact.

Looked like he was bracing for impact. I haven't re-watched, but at the time I thought Azpilicueta was throwing an arm out to stop Grealish getting to the ball and wasting time so he could take a quick free kick. The arm just happened to connect with Grealish's face, who then flopped to the ground and rolled around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Cesar also pushed Grealish in the chest as he was going down - he knew what he was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just watched it again (after the last post) - he’s just trying to stop him from getting to the ball. I don’t think it’s intentional at all. Grealish’s reaction is absolutely pathetic.

Yep , I watched it in slow mo .. it was deliberate as evidenced by his facial expression … Jack milked it Kane style and somehow that has let him off the hook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tomaszk Posted May 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2021 Ridiculous. He was embarrassed 5 seconds earlier and swung an arm in frustration. Left the field with no complaints. Isn't the first person to lash out because they can't get near Jack Grealish. Won't be the last. He's not getting the protection he's earnt because the PL want to protect the big 6 despite them just trying to destroy them. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tom_avfc Posted May 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2021 Azpilicueta didn’t even seem to protest the decision himself which given he’s normally as whiny a player as anyone says it all. The fact that Chelsea appealed that is embarrassing and the fact they’ve rescinded it is ridiculous. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you would think if it were an accident he would have made that case to the ref and there would have been a review of the monitor. He was taking off the armband as soon as the whistle blew. Quick VAR check also confirmed the red card. It's about as blatant as you'd see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Azpilicueta obviously meant it and knew exactly what he was doing, you don't swing your arm in someone's face to stop them getting the ball, first of all Grealish couldn't get the ball anyway because Azpilicueta had his right hand on it as he struck Grealish, and you could tell by his expression which was if to say 'here take this!' that he hit him on purpose. As for Grealish's reaction you can't ever know what's going on in someone else's mind or how they're feeling, this might sound over the top but what if Azpilicueta hitting him brought back memories of when that small heath fan attacked him or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
