That was worse than De Jongs Kung Fu tackle

That was bad. Wouldn't say it was as bad as NDJ's chest caver, but it was bad.

He's just kicked him in the face whilst running at pace, much worse than De Jong's!

Correct. This is nothing new. I vaguely remember as a kid the German keeper of the 80's Schumacher(?) who used to do things like this on a regular basis without reprisal.

Shocking tackle, he could have seriously damaged him with that, should be banned from football with a tackle like that it was assault

Just had a look at the 2 challenges, and after reviewing them i'd say neither is worse than the other, however I do take on board the Valdes one could have caused more harm than NDJ's. In both cases though their feet are extraordinarily high and really didn't need to be. I said NDJ's was worse at first as Alonso was barely off the floor, but looking at this one, neither is the forward involved.
