Mendy played on for a good few minutes.

You never really know, it could be a strain but it had all the hallmarks of an ACL.

It was regular Pickford. Even just kicking the ball he’s so over exaggerated. He just never seems in control and as a keeper it’s absolutely key. In that Sunderland team he was being peppered, which seems to fit his demeanour. When that’s not the case, even Everton’s dodgy back line has been streets ahead of that Sunderland side, he’s really struggled.

The challenge today was very poor and reckless. No player, whoever they play for, deserves that kind of injury.

MoTD did not show the targeting of James Rodriguez from the word go, including from Van Dijk.
 
Someone posted on twitter that his mate has waited 2 years for an ACL operation for the NHS but can walk fine.

I hope they go out and spend money in January to prove that its not so easy when your best defender is out injured for the season. They could really struggle to qualify for the Champions league if the injury keeps him out that long. Their attack is good but without VVD they have nothing else.
 
Would not say it was that reckless, but is of course the worst tackle in the history of the game as it was against a Liverpool player.
He’s, by all accounts, done the ACL of a player, making contact at high shin/ knee height. It was a very poor challenge. Like outfield players have needed to adjust their tackling technique in the modern game, keepers need to do the same.
