Vile in the extreme -- but I can see this galvanizing us. We have played most of the (admittedly brief so far) season without Rodri anyway and are top of the table. If we win it again without our lynchpin, it might be one of Pep's greatest achievements. I can see him and our heroes warming to the challenge. Imagine the tears from the scouse/goon/scum entourage. And the fans also.

Brentford ran all over us until Rodri came on. Arsenal ran all over us after Rodri went off until the red card

Looks at him twice then challenged him away from the ball. He didn't cause the injury on purpose but it's just an example of what can happen when our players are reffed differently.
That kind of challenge happens all the time though. If they gave fouls for that, you’d have a penalty on every corner.
I don’t disagree the sentiment in that game though. I’m not normally that critical of refs but I thought Oliver was shit throughout. Thought that first goal of theirs was an absolute shocker by him.
Oh yeah. It wasn't a foul. Agreed. It's just that he did challenge him off the ball, and after what Havertz did, it felt a little premeditated. And because Oliver let them get away with a couple....That kind of challenge happens all the time though. If they gave fouls for that, you’d have a penalty on every corner.

Paul Lake did and that was the end of his career
Your memory is better than mine (not difficult), I remember the injury but not how he exited the pitch.

I did my ACL with accompanying meniscus tears and played on for 10 mins. For us amateurs in days gone by (1985) there was no "scans" to identify the severity of injury. I certainly knew something wasn't right and the knee felt a bit unstable but could walk and run normally (in a straight line) with no pain.
Was having physio at Oldham FC who did the usual tests for laxity as even after ICE and rest it swelled as soon as I did a quad session in the gym.
It took a surgeon to do a full arthroscopy to identify it as a full ACL rupture. He said he'd seldom seen such good musculature make up for the lack of stability and in those days they didn't automatically do repairs Any repairs they did do, the best are referred to as "gold standard", at the time, weren't guaranteed to return an athlete back to his profession, see Paul Lakes journey.
They should know if Rodders acl is torn as soon as they have the scan results which I presume he's had today. They'll want to do the repair ASAP. If he's been whisked off to Barca to see Dr Cougat I think it'll be safe to say what's what.
If it is the worst then we'll have to wish Rodders the best with his recovery and get on with it and Pep will have to find a solution. Hes quite good at it you know. We're unlikely to secure as many points as normal but could still outscore those shitbags from Sunday and the scousers. It would be one of Peps greatest achievements and he loves a challenge.
I still have a torn left ACL to this day and a nice dose of premature arthritis to go with it.
