Leroy Sane - 2018/2019 performances

[Thaksinssoldier]

It was most certainly reckless. As you say it was deliberate, he could very easily have injured Lowton with a deliberate 'hack' which is reckless.

Like Mane's on Ederson, he knew what he was doing but it was still certainly reckless.

It's one thing to think "Good on him for dishing it out" which I understand but just don't personally agree with. Then another to say "wasn't a red" because even Stevie Wonder knows it was; very definition of violent conduct, premeditated to boot.

You may think people see it as "petulant" because it's Sané and not someone else, conversely I think people are turning a blind eye to it because it's Sané.

Are you really comparing it to Mane?

C'mon dude, they aren't even close to being comparable.

Mane swung a foot in the hope that Ederson would back out. Mane had zero control over the situation.

Sane knew Lowton was in a set position, and he could kick him in that manner. That is not reckless. It's calculated.

The way you are going on you'd swear Lowton was down for 20 mins and then stretchered off. He wasn't. You're overreacting.

The irony is almost to a man those saying it was a yellow are those also saying Kompany deserved a red card...so it's hardly blue tinted glasses as some have said.

I'm convinced you're on the wind up now so shall leave any discussion with you be if that's alright, genuinely.

I've literally quoted the laws of the game from the FA website.

Sané was petulant, there's no way his actions could be considered excessive force or brutal.

If me not agreeing with you, or me quoting the laws of the game is an issue for you, no worries I'll leave it.

I'm not comparing the two actions as they played out. Just that you said for something to be reckless the player is to be out of control; neither player was. They both made calculated decisions and were in control of their bodies and actions.

So why is one reckless and the other not?

It's not the force that irks me so I don't care if Lowton was down for 20 mins or not, it's the stupidity to do it at all. I much preferred him scoring and celebrating later on as an act of "revenge" than acting the big "I am" and doing what we've all derided opposition players for doing.

To be fair, I said because it was Sané, not because it was a City player. He's got a longer leash where criticism is concerned on here for some.

Great performance overall with the ball, thuggish stupidity with that kick and very fortunate not to be sent off, simple.

His actions were not endangering an opponent, out of control or violent conduct. Nor did they prevent a clear goal scoring opportunity.
It was naughty and calculated.
It's was a yellow card.

Now I know you are joking

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

So why is one reckless and the other not?

Because Lowton had his feet on the ground and was in a position where Sane could safely assume the level of impact his actions would have.

Mane had absolutely zero control over himself, let alone Ederson who was rushing in and unprotected.

They couldn't be more different mate.

I would normally respect the idea of not engaging in conversation but are you serious with this? You can't be surely?

Mane on Ederson was sprint full tilt and is literally flying through the air with his leading leg SIX FEET off the floor and his 'standing' leg' three feet off the floor.

Sané is running behind Lawton and aggressively trips him from behind.

 

[schfc6]

Now I know you are joking

Is that just a comment as you have no actual answer? Under what law should Sané have seen red?

 

[mosssideblue]

Yes he should. He deliberately kick an opponent from behind. he could have seriously injured him.
If you condone that, that is your preogative.
Q. If one of our players had been kicked like that would you still be stating your case?

Nonsense, look at Mendy's ACL injury. An innocuous clash of knees.

That's besides the point though. It was stupid, violent, and to me, reckless.

We'll be going round in circles but as I said I understand people wanting player's to give it back, I just don't personally agree with it; that's my gripe.

I hear ya, but you must understand that we clearly know there's an acceptable level of physicality in the premier league and this falls within that. There's no point saying it should be a red when week in week out we see far worse tackles go unpunished.
