It seems to me that if missing a tackle and clipping a player's foot gets you a straight red resulting in a four game suspension, then clotheslining a defenceless player in midair with your elbow should at least be a foul.

Both players led with their arms, one player jumped higher and ended up not being the dead one.

I always love it when one of these things comes up and you have a wildly inaccurate description of what happened.

Is the wildly inaccurate description the description of what actually happened but because it was an Arsenal player the facts don't matter?

video is there. Both players jump throwing their arms into the air, bellerin jumped way too early so his arms were on the down swing before the ball arrived

Bellerin's arms come down almost immediately, and he's not leading with his elbow. Both players are at roughly the same place in their arcs; Alonso is just much higher. It's like you live in opposite world.

Its almost like you have never jumped to challenge for a header before. Also Coquelin doing what appeared to be a bug from fifa while defending the second goal was hilarious

Don't know why it would be relevant, but it's a clear foul in every other version of football/rugby

Hi, big player and watcher of rugby union here, have you never been involved in a lineout?

I would really like Wenger's last fa cup match as a manager to be a loss to a non-league side who don't want to get promoted to league 2 because professional football sounds like too much work.

I'm going off of the commentary on RAWK, other fan sites, and the Liverpool reddit. I know there's a big gap between that audience and the more normal match going fans, but I feel like the usual "at least we're not where we were in 2010" sentiments have definitely died down and people seem pissed about the lack of winter transfers. People seem pissed, but admittedly that might just be a tiny number of very loud fans rather than a significant number. I feel like some pundits have felt comfortable going in an anti-Klopp direction too (like Hamann and to a lesser extent, Carragher).

My main point was that I don't know where the breaking point is. Fans get mad about the club but it takes a lot to get them to boycott to the point that owners will respond substantively. Even then, there's usually some fans wiling to take the place of those who decide not to go.

I would think Blackburn would be a treatise on how little fan power actually exists these days

So Klopps job is relatively safe for now. At least until next year...however if he doesnt get either:

a) A decent CB
b) A competent CM
c) A decent lone striker


Any of the combinations of 2 of the above by the end of next season i might see why people would say he could start to worry, bearing in mind hes only been in charge for just over a year now and has been dealing with mostly Rodgers' wastemen it would be loving crazy to get rid of him now.

If he is having trouble dealing with Rodger's wastemen why did rodgers do better with his wastemen?
