Malicious and intent? In less than a seconds worth of thinking time?
No chance, what it was and is,is more proof of his lack of ability or reading which has shown in his actual keeping in the last 2 years
He went to make himself big and block the angle, but he got it so wrong he clattered him at knee height
Awful reading, awful attempt, awful goalkeeping. But malicious and with intent to hurt? No chance
The other one though? He would have known he cant win that, a far worse "attempt" and Thiago got lucky where Virg didnt
All carragher was saying is that he didn't mean to do him,which I agree with
He did though and should have seen red
Malicious and intent, I'm not sure any players bar the very very few small incidence happen ( Souey being one actually I'm aware of, Keane another )
Can't say that for certain mate although I do agree it's unlikely, no one is privy to what is said and by whom in a dressing room, but it's entirely possible,
opposition players can be targeted for let's just say special treatment, dark arts are alive and kicking (pardon the pun) today as they have always been,
Essentially that was a two footed tackle in mid air and designed to hurt/maim a player, if it happened anywhere outside the box it's a straight red and automatic 3 match ban, seconds, nano seconds are irrelevant, as is making yourself big, you can do that without jumping into a player, that to me makes it more of a deliberate ploy than a genuine attempt to block/stop the player,
Your spot on in regards to Pickford, and i can't help but think that the stick he gets for his inabilities and the constant piss taking from us especially has got to him, and perhaps inwardly he has got some revenge, only that kunt knows for sure.
For me Carra has become a bit of a soft arse, he has to come across now as more of a brown nose to his paymasters, yesterday's spat with Souness a typical (new) Carra response, seemingly being more diplomatic, for most of us he's just talking sh*te.
