Will people judge him like they did with Koulibaly?
It's a no from me, dopey as fuck tackle, never getting the ball.
I rewatched it and 2 things stand out.
1) Carlos is pretty fucking quick, he almost keeps up with Traore. That might be why he dived in, pacey players quite often panic when they get outpaced because it happens so rarely. Walker has done this before.
2) I don't think it's a terrible penalty to give away, it was either make the challenge or Traore was shooting 1v1 from 8 yards out on a good angle.
Lets be honest, koulibaly was abysmal against Barca So it’s fair for criticism.

If that had been a Stones or Otamendi, they would have not made it to the penalty area to make the tackle.He came within an inch of the ball.
He came within an inch of the ball. If you watch the alternate angles on the replay you can see it's *really* close to being a perfect tackle.
The more I watch it, the less I think it's a terrible mistake.
