31 | Ederson - 2023/24

Idk if Romero is 'dirty' or not, but the guy plays with such reckless abandon that it becomes dangerous for other players. I hope Eddy is alright.

Goes to show what a good call it was from the Dr to take him off. Rest up Eddie, you've done your bit, Ortega will bring us home.

100%. But it also would have been fantastic to see Eddie play in a mask.

Still can't believe the twat only got a yellow.

Apparently - according to some on here - he was entitled to go for the ball.
My view remains the same - it's endangering the player he's "challenging", those are the rules now. No different to Manes challenge a few years back which resulted in a red.

Fuckinell, I saw his caption and I thought he was talking to me.
Had to give my head a wobble there

Poor Eddie, such a blow for him right at the end of the season - get well soon.

I have no idea what that means, but yes we will see you soon Eddie!

I've only just seen the video that was shot from behind the goal. Scary stuff. And all credit to Bernie for his quick action putting Ederson in the recovery position. As for Romero, he is a dirty fucker. But I don't honestly think he can be blamed for going for that ball. It was a 50/50 ball; I don't think he intended to "do" Eddy. Though only he can answer that.

I dont think it was a red, because the ball wasn't as high. It was at a height where going for it with your feet would be normal for an outfield player.

However, for all the "entitled to go for the ball".... Yes he was. But if he doesn't get it, he's entitled to be punished too. A midfielder is entitled to go for a tackle, but if they don't get it, it can be a red card. I don't see why plenty of commentators don't ever equate the two and say that "yes, he was entitled to go for it, but by not getting the ball and hitting the other player late, he might be off".
