Fulham (H) | PL | Post-Match

He was trying to shoulder charge and got it wrong but that doesn't really count as an "attempt to play the ball" although it could be construed as an attempt to win the ball. However, as the laws are written, it's a sending off offence. I think the differentiation is a little harsh though but Joao should have known better. As Pep has said, it's a chance for everyone in the team to learn.

If he gets a three match ban for that, that would be very harsh.
It’s a one game ban, like all non violent red cards are.
 
Dont wish to sound all Fordy about it, but Cancelo doesnt seem the 'learning' type to me anyway. He is prone to doing continued silly things like that. Great skill, lovely attacking player, so not having a full pop. Just seems a defensive brain fart waiting to happen
Nah, not having he’s not a learner, he’s reached the pinnacle of football, you can’t do that without learning a thing or two, you don’t have to be a physicist to be a footballer but you do have to have the right mentality, and he has it in bucket loads. Imagine being a winger, converted to a fullback/wingback, who has to act like a central midfielder, and be one of your teams main provider, then find yourself covering your centre half, that’s a lot of mental gymnastics. Pep demands a lot from his players, and I’d say his expectations of Joao are very very high (quite rightly) you’re right about the brain farts though, but in mitigation he’s played too much football
 
Can anyone explain why I always hear a scouse voice commentating on our game ? I mean always even on the Chinese shows ffs
It doesn't matter where in the world you are, there'll always be (at least one of) a scouser, a Glaswegian or a cockernee giving their opinion.
