Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[Deckard2049]

Keepers lead with the upper body as they can use their arms. The pace of the charge isn't reckless as they're entitled to try and get to the ball first.

The other player is too, but if getting there involves high feet, then you never had a chance of getting the ball legally and therefore the challenge is reckless and should never have been made.

If Mane went with his head, it's not a red card.

If the incident occurs outside the area, surely the keeper can't use their arms? Don't get me wrong in this incident Ederson went for the challenge and used his head, no fault of his whatsoever what occurred and a definite red for Mane. The more general point I was making was that I can definitely agree with Mason that keepers can be guilty of going in a bit too strong and getting away with it. I've definitely seen a few of those incidents. Neuer on Higuain at the last world cup springs to mind, where I'm pretty sure he double kneed him in the back whilst jumping to punch clear a ball. Basically the point Mason seems to be making, and one I do agree with, is that keepers can be very over zealous in clearing, often wiping out the opposition and getting away with it.

Surprised there aren't calls for Edison to be sent off for head butting Mane's foot.

This is more or less the opinion on RAWK. It was the keeper's fault for not staying on his line and allowing Mane a free shot on goal.

City going for the kill
Love it just love it
