Why De Jong's challenge was worse than Henry's and why he is risking ruining his own career as well as opponents'
The two worst tackles of the weekend were Karl Henry's on Jordi Gomez and Nigel De Jong's on Hatem Ben Arfa. Henry's looked bad but De Jong's was worse.
Henry's was an honest but mistimed attempt to get the ball but the way De Jong clattered into Ben Arfa, he made sure that if he did not take him out with his left foot, he'd get him with his right leg instead.
De Jong's a fine player but he's starting to play like a wrecking machine. He needs to smarten up before he wrecks another player's career and ruins his own as well.
Of all the garbage that has been written, this one really annoys me.
Saint Carl with his honest two footed attack on a player. D it's beyond belief.
