So Mane is expected to just allow the keeper to collect that?
A yellow would do there.

He's gone in to a 50/50 with a foot up and leathered the bloke in the face, not sure how that isn't a red.
Gary Neville is making a proper clown shoe of himself here. As if you wouldn't get sent off for booting an outfield player in the head.
Doesn't matter if it's a "50/50", what he did is dangerous as fuck.
'If it was an outfield player...' then he wouldn't have gone in like a goalkeeper would he. Jesus Christ. If you boot someone in the face it's a red card.
Yeah, red seemed harsh - but given the contact and high foot - no complaints, really.
Mane's a fucking idiot.
It's odd. Neither player could have done anything other than what they did.
Hope the keeper is alright. They've not shown another replay so it might be a bad landing.
I can't believe some people are defending that.
It might have been harsh if he caught him in the chest, because you are entitled to go for it, but he didn't.
Have you ever played football? In what planet would you try and control that ball with your head if you were mane? You'd be shipped back to Africa as a retard if you attempted that.
So when do we roll out the ban on bicycle kicks? Because foot often hits head in those occasions.
This could be a fisting now.
De Bruyne's crossing is incredible.
Fucking De Bruyne with 2 assists as soon as I transfer him out in the fantasy.
When you try and control the ball with your foot at that height, you risk getting it wrong. In this case, he got it wrong and was rightly sent off.
Red seems a reasonable decision in that instance. Clearly dangerous and reckless.
Carragher talking sense.
Kolo Toure, the most honest man in Britain.
Kolo can barely speak English.
Bit harsh, to be honest.
It's genuinely astonishing that there are people claiming that's not a red.
This could end up being 5 or 6 if they keep going.
Not sure why Salah is off. Quick, playing pretty well and stretching the defence - seems like you're just asking for more pressure by taking him off.
liverpool haven't exactly rallied since they went down to 10. fun side to watch, but they seem mentally weak. salah is a pretty on-brand signing when you think about it - exciting, quick and attacking but supposedly started fucking crying after getting the Mourinho hairdryer treatment after one game.
At least with a Mane suspension we can get Phil back in without any fuss about who he replaces.
Even calling that red card harsh is silly.
Having not really watched him before today, Mendy looks like a fantastic signing.
Real drew 1-1 with Levante. Not a great start to the season for them. Why was Ronaldo not playing?
Even that Ronaldo red would be easier to defend than Mane's.
Gary Neville on The Ox: He keeps getting beat 4-0.
I'm a twit
Top top top start to the weekend that.
Watching THE MIGHTY BLADES vs Sunderland away. The Sunderland have a massive parachute sheet thing going across their mains stand:
"There's only one Bradley Lowery'
Arsenal to win 6-0 and Wenger claim some sort of vindication.
Morata suits this Chelsea team so much. They've still got Hazard to come back as well. It's going to be some season between them and Man Utd.
Absolutely appalling first half. Krychowiak looks decent, but him, Barry and Livermore is such a shit, unbalanced midfield. They keep getting bypassed with aimless hoofs anyway so I'm not sure why I give a shit.
Everton are getting seriously raped.

Seagulls!
Southampton have been quietly making a mess of their piss easy start to the season I see.
We're still playing turgid, ponderous football, and Kranjcar on the left of a four in midfield is about as big a misjudgement as you could make, but I reckon we have a couple of proper players in Morelos and Candeias. The latter's final ball is near perfect eight or nine times out of ten.
Good to see us get level so quickly.
