    I don’t think it would even be a soft yellow for that tackle. Trossard is clearly not going for the ball and is just charging straight into Silva’s back. It’s the exact sort of things my old hot heated teammates would do when they got angry and inevitably got sent off. You deserve it at that point.

      ? Trossard is challenging for the header, bumps Silva in the air. Foul, no problem. Yellow? Harsh. Second yellow? Extremely harsh.

      Don’t talk to me about what anyone deserves. Where are Doku’s card for similarly delaying the restart or Haaland’s for violent play at the end?

        He is not challenging for the header at all. He is clearly targeting Silva rather than the ball. I’ve seen 13 years old more skillfully challenge a header, Trossard achieved exactly what he tried to achieve. He just didn’t think he would be punished for it.

        I didn’t ref the game so don’t ask me. Haaland should have been carded from the antics I’ve seen.

          Forgot that we give players yellows for shit aerial duels now too. No, you didn’t ref the game, but you’ve got lots of opinions (as have I).
