Second yellow so a one match ban for the Man U match next Saturday. Unless it stands for the Europa League match against Zagreb on Thursday?

He's always going to be missed but there are a few that can cover the position now and there's more depth in midfield than there used to be for it not to have a knock on effect. Bowen for instance will run his arse off in that position and Vlasic could easily play out on the right.

 

Bowen was fantastic today. The rest of em were leggy as ****.

Lucky to get a point in the end. Vlasic looked like he’d been there for ages

[Taffin]

What a player Lukaku has become. Deadly.

I thought we could've done with Zouma in for Dawson as he's looked like he needs a rest. I'm struggling to see how he can make that change on Thursday now. I'm not feeling much excitement about Kral though. He could probably be a first team player in a lot of instances but not in front of Rice or Soucek. There's a chance he's there to soften it when Rice finally goes.

 

Edit: didn't see the game, or any football today as otherwise busy.

he is the reason i would have chelsea as favourites as they will be defensively solid and lukaku should help them get goals to win those games they would not last season

Absolutely, they'd have dropped points today last year or at the very least scraped it. Villa were good and it was never a 3-0 game but two chancesz two goals for Rom

It will not effect European game(s), just domestic game(s).

Soucek was dreadful. Obviously needs a break. Rice wasn’t much better but goalline clearance earned us a point.

Agreed. Plus half and half scarves, even among the Geordies, my personal bugbear.

I'm still trying to workout why some say the Leeds manager is a tactical genius.

100 Premier league goals for Salah

 

Liverpool need the second but have been in control so far as the second half comes around

[NANOJAMBO]

Horror injury for  the Liverpool youngster. Looks like his knee is wrecked. 

[Tazio]

I’m glad I’d popped to the kitchen there. I’m not sure what happened to young Elliott but Sky aren’t showing the replay of the tackle. Looks like a very bad injury.

They have a second. Leeds down to ten men. Harvey Elliot off for Liverpool with a bad injury. Sky refusing to show the incident again.

[Swanny17]

Horrible injury but genuinely don’t think it was a red card. Just a very unfortunate outcome.

Tackle didn't seem a bad one at the time ,  but my 1st impression was his leg was badly out of shape and Sala went over to him but looked horrified.

Tackle is here. Strange to give red card. Some indication a red card has been given because tackle resulted in an injury. That's a law change I didn't see.

Never a sending off. Ref showed red card because Elliott has been injured. Complete bottle job from ref. Why VAR hasn't overturned this is joke.

If he didn’t break his leg the ref was never sending him off.

I agree it was never a Red card tackle. Unfortunately injuries occur.

Very bad luck for Harvey Elliot.

 

[Hearts of Vladland]

Ref was ‘always going to send him off’ he didn’t even give a free kick 😂😂

[The Mighty Thor]

I don't think it was the terrible challenge they're making out. It looked like a really unfortunate tangle of legs. 

Grim outcome for Elliot

Its the way he fell. It was a clean, fair tackle.

I think the injury made the referee give the red card rather than the tackle

 

However for Elliot's sake I hope its one that looks worse than it is as he has all the talent to become a top player............but it just did not look good and the players reaction on both sides reflects that.

[Mikey1874]

Was going to say earlier. He looks a good player.

Looked to me that the Liverpool manager or  VAR got him the red. Ref never even blew for a foul. A bad injury from a bad piece of luck. Looked like his boot toe or studs got stuck in the turf

it looks similar to the red son got v everton where gomes was badly injured. in that case i think the red was overturned. it should not be that way and from the footage posted above it looks like at worst a foul where for some tackles not even a yellow would be shown.

Looked like it to me too. 

Shame for the laddie though.

[jambo1975]

Bench reaction from Liverpool 100% influenced the ref. Seemed a innocuous enough challenge and clearly resulted in a bad injury for the lad, but just because he was injured does not make it a red card. Doubt will we see much analysis of it given the serverty of the injury

[jock _turd]

It is just not a red card unfortunate outcome but not a red card... he will defo contest that card I suspect.

[John Findlay]

Leeds could have no complaints if the score was double what it is at present.

0-3 for Liverpool, Mane with an emphatic third.

[Mikey1874]

Interesting that referees have allowed more intensity this season. Will that change now? Klopp had already questioned it.

Klopp getting benefit of his crying and winging earlier in August. Maybe bring in rule outlawing tackling Liverpool players, just in case anymore of them get hurt.

Compare tackle that got red today to Pogba's one against Wolves that wasn't penalised.

England's use of VAR is terrible.

Don't usually agree with you but you're spot on, we argue that Celtic and Rangers get every decision and the refs are bias, very much turning out like that down England so no difference, what is the point In having var if they don't even go to the monitor to check it? 

[Malinga the Swinga]

After Leeds/Liverpool game, Man City women on v Spurs. Looks like Man City player getting stretchered off after tackle by Spurs player. Strangely, no red card for Spurs player. Must be different rules.

If we had it here, all that would happen would be Rangers/Celtic would get benefit while we would suffer.

They want competitive leagues but allow referees to favour to certain teams and that is something that needs to change.

New season, same LiVARpool by the sounds of it.

 

Hope the young lad recovers though.

1pt above the relegation zone and behind a much maligned Arsenal...

 

I'm in your camp on this.

You first argument is you don't see how he is a genius, do you actually know where Leeds were as a club when he came in, do you know how much that leeds team cost compared to Livarpools, did it also escape you're attention that leeds finished 9th last season, did it also escape you're attention that leeds were undefeated at home last season against the top 6. 

 

He's managed to turn average championship players into Premier league players, when Kalvin Phillip's was at the club Bielsa arrived the fans wanted Kalvin sold, only for Marcelo to say no, I will turn him into the best player in the league since then he's been called up by England both him and Bamford, Bamford was out of favour at Chelsea moved to Middlesbrough and Marcelo has  changed his game. 

 

When he moved to Leeds,Bamford was nowhere near being called up for an England side while at Middlesbrough,but managed to score 17 goals last season in the Leeds side 🤔. 

 

Kalvin Phillip's won England player of the year 👍. 

 

Turned Ayling who was released by arsenal at a young age, who then went to Yeovil, then Bristol City into one of the better right backs in the league. 

 

Played youngster Jack Clarke who ended up getting a big money move to spurs. 

 

Turned Stuart Dallas into a Premier league player, Cooper was written off by the fans is now a regular in the Scotland side. 

 

Klich now gets called up regularly by Poland. 

 

Signed Raphinha last season and was being touted for an £80 million pound move to Liverpool / Man United. 

 

If Hearts played like his Leeds team we would achieve 3rd place easy because teams simply wouldn't be able to cope with us. 

 

He's taken on some of the best teams in the world, you would rather watch a team sit in and get 4-5 goals put past them, than watch a team that goes out there with the genuine belief they can win a game 😂 ok pal. 

 

What he has achieved with that leeds team is unbelievable, punching way above there weight. 

 

Long term he's changing the culture of the club. 

 

Similar to how Stendel was given time and a chance. 

 

Playing in a positive manner. 

 

And as for the clamour on here would be off the Richter scale, that's because most couldn't spell football or say they have played the game, to even know what a good Coach is. 

 

They think winning in a ugly fashion is great, but overall how does it improve the club?

 

Give me a manager that will improve the football side and culture of club, that is attacking and entertaining everyday of the week. 

 

Over what we have currently 😂😂. 

 

Just open that mouth of yours and talk 💩 💩.

Leeds won't qualify for Europe this season. Like a Stendel team their defending is woeful.

If Leeds finish bottom half this season the supporters will start turning against him. If you believe the modern football supporter will take losing games 5-4 every week, great entertainment they may be, they would rather win 1-0 every week playing boring football.

That is the modern reality.

Heaven forbid if Leeds were to get relegated, he would get the bullet faster than one leaving a rifle. Despite perhaps playing entertaining football, Leeds board would be lamenting the hundreds of million of pounds they would be losing for no longer being in the EPL. That Bongo is the reality of modern football.
