Did it look bad?

F**king internationals!

Just seen it on sky sports news. Bad enough that he went off but he wasn't on a stretcher.

Edit: It was his knee that he was holding and then limping off

So basically it's just opinion which makes this back and forward pointless.

I'm not trying to convince you about Coleman vs Rafael. I've been arguing against your claims that it's impossible to judge an Everton player as better than a United starter because of the team he plays for and that the stats tell you who is the better defender.

beno619 wrote: »

Not when the argument being put forward that one player is a walking red card, defenders will always pick up yellows.

The argument was that Coleman is "less likely to get sent off", not that Raf is a "walking red card". Rafael picks up more cards and that is a mark against him.

That's something that is recorded. Rafael has more cards than Coleman in all three seasons available on Squawka.

This, and having a pair of eyes in your head. Raf has many virtues being disciplined is not one of them. Personally anytime I watch him I feel he s liable to get booked or give silly frees away.

kryogen

Raf's reputation far outweighs his actual liability level though.

Fellaini is an elbowing scumbag

Just clocked Joe Allen

I'm thinking about both players height and without seeing it coming to the conclusion that probably had something to do with it.

was pretty shocking alright

KH25

Haven't seen it, but he does have an awful tendency to throw elbows during matches.

Im gonna throw it out there, it doesn't look intentional to me there. Not like the one from the City game last year.

Hococop

Same looks accidental, doesn't look like he is looking at Allen

Hank Scorpio

Yeah Allen ran into him

J. Marston

Don't mind that stuff from Fellaini. We need someone in our team who isn't a fúcking wimp.

I'd agree. We need a bit of steel.

That said, that looks like Allen ran full-whack into him, and Allen only goes up to Fel's elbow.....

Headshot

It looks to me that he didnt mean it at first but that follow through was poor dirt

Quandary

Fellaini is 6' 4, Allen is 5' 6 so when they have a coming together Allen's head is right around Fellainis forearms. Very easy for Allen to connect with an elbow or forearm when competing for the ball.

Nailz

It was a height related accident, Fellaini wasn't looking at him and Allen was running at full pelt, the palm to the face afterwards is questionable but there's no real doubt that he didn't mean to elbow him.

Looked sore though, how was Allen afterwards, did he play on?

The Moldy Gowl

Ffs, was hardly intentional, even if he did mean to follow through fair play. We need players like that rather than tc23 being afraid to tackle.

He can use his height and strength to his advantage.

The follow through was dirt lads. And saying "we need that"... yep every team needs some thugs. Sure get Joey Barton in.

J. Marston

Not even annoyed. You just expect someone to get hurt every few days now.

Follow through? Where?

Yeah, you're just looking for something to be outraged at.
