Just seen that Dallas has sustained a femoral fracture. He's not getting much sympathy from me. I hope he comes back the same as before but he wasn't the victim of a nasty accident, he was hoisted by his own petard.
It's easy to blame Tierney for what's happened because he created an atmosphere that put the idea in Dallas' head that he could just clatter into Grealish and get away with it. But in that specific moment before the "tackle", Dallas thought he could get away with something potentially dangerous on Grealish and he's ended up crocking himself. His decision isn't entirely Tierney's fault. If you try to injure an opponent and end up injuring yourself then you've only got yourself to blame.
It was like when Scott Dann tried to end Kevin De Bruyne's season in 2017 and ended up doing his own ACL in the process. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
