Tom Cleverley

Him and Baines could be out until Christmas i reckon, be like 2 new signings once the January window opens.

Its a shame that Tom got injured but if you're going to punish players for getting the ball first in tackles then you might as well ban tackles.

Getting the ball first doesn't always mean it's a fair tackle. In this case, the challenge is made from behind and the scissors follow through is reckless. Definitely worthy of a booking.

Dier had three yellow card tackles today

Absolute shithouse of a player.

Probably will be valued around £50m soon

I hear what you're all saying, and the first thing you need to realise it that it's not from behind.

On a compass, say a tackle from behind is S, then this tackle, with both players momentum, comes from SE.

The trailing leg does come through, but not with any malice whatsoever. Its a shame, but 9 times out of ten Clev's gets up and plays on.

Crunching tackle and one we've all dished out and been on the end of.

Reminds me of Shawcross a lot does Dier, another shithouse

Titus Bramble · August 30, 2015

Shame about this, he's been our most consistent player so far this season I reckon.

How bad is his injury?

It was a boss tackle.

Bluerover · August 30, 2015

A few minutes later there was another cruncher involving Seamus Coleman. This time both players got up and trotted away.

Really sorry for Cleverly and hope he gets back as soon as possible.

By Rose? That was a foul for me, especially as the ball went out for a goal kick, anyway just saying. Also, was Kane not offside in first half - again just saying cos to me he looked it.

I thought the Rose tackle was naughty. If it had been the other way around you can be sure that Rose would have rolled around and got Seamus a yellow card.

Seamus was unprofessional in getting up and running off as if nothing had happened. He should have made the ref make a decision.

I think it's a bit dangerous to say it was a great tackle because he played the ball. I mean, he clearly went through the back of Cleverly with such force that he's nearly snapped his ankle in two. I don't know how that can be the case with no punishment. I understand 'ball and man' and all that, but there's a reason laws of the game have come on a bit in the last 30 years.
