Accidental?…. Burn meant that.

He absolutely did.

As I said earlier, you can tell when a motion is natural in those situations, and those types of injuries do happen accidentally.

But there was nothing natural about the way Burn extended his leg and stamped Haaland’s Achilles as he fell.

 

[Sky Blue]

He meant to foul him, but I don’t think he meant to stamp on his Achilles

Oh he did.

Keown having a dig ."you can't touch city players"

He’s a ****.

 

[blundellbluemoon]

That’s assuming a level of physical coordination I’m not sure the giant bumbling **** possesses

We know gundo is better than that looks a bit of pace it will come.

 

[Eccles Blue]

ill give you a clue 4

*lol* yes I forgot he thinks he’s invincible!! ;-)

 

[SamBlue]

Why is Bernardo on the wing? The player has not offered anything in this position for some time

Some time is all the way back to his Monaco days.

Hop Erling is ok to continue. That accidental stamp on his Achilles area could have caused a very serious injury. He seemed a bit stiff for a few minutes, but then got back into it.

Accidental stamp.
Was it ?

I’m in Italy and can’t watch the game. Relying on this thread to keep me up to date. Anyone got a clip of the goal ? Thanks

Hope thor is not injuried badly , never good to see blood in a game

A bit of red sweat is usually a good thing, means the injury is superficial and just a skin injury. It’s worse when you can’t see the injury.

Not at our best obviously and for me this formation just isn't working (despite the score).

Nothing Gundogan has done (one pass to Haaland excepted) has come off and Lewis just hasn't been in the game much. I'd be tempted to take both off and bring Foden and Savinho on and move Bernardo into the middle. It would give them something more to worry about defensively.

I suspect it will stay the same though and hopefully our midfield can get more of a grip. If they do, we should win this.
