Virgil van Dijk

I hope the Dutch FA speak up too. One of their best players will be unavailable to them and there's no repercussions on the person that caused it.

It's not about repercussions for Pickford, what's done is done, whether he gets a 3 match ban or not doesn't change the fact that VVD is injured. My anger is more with the referee and system, than with Pickford.

****in pickford. Always thought he was a bit of a ****in clown but now I genuinely hate the ****in prick.

Remember when he put up his hand as if to say "ohhh come on ref" as if Virgil was making a meal of it.

He's an arsehole

When he went over to Virg, I'm sure I saw Virg tell him to **** off. You rarely see that but it goes to show just how ****ing criminal it was

[Norbs]

I don't think he meant to do him as such, he's just a ****ing moron and made a shocking challenge. Looking at it today with no beer in me and a clearer head, it's still an utter disgrace to it's not a red, it just doesn't make any sense. There is no explaining that away and we need to push this publicly because enough is enough, there has to be some accountability. Two awful var decisions today and somebody needs to answer for them, the worst thing is we didn't get the 3 points and we have a likelihood of the best CB in the world being out for the season and regardless is Pickford is pulled up or whatever.. nothing can change the result and the outcome. Absolutely furious!

Goalkeeper going in legs first off the ground. I think he knew exactly what he was doing

Pickford goes to help him up and VVD says something and stays down not sure what he says though.

[Norbs]

Pickford is just **** and rash there is no intent there IMO. Richarlison I am not so sure about

Richarlson has madness in his eyes, he's an absolute basket case

Looked like he didn't want Pickford near him

My interpretation of it was more that was indicating that he couldn't get up and that he needed treatment rather than any anger at Pickford, but I haven't looked at it in detail or tried to lip read.

Ricky is a pig, Pickford is just ****e.

Ricky? Have a word with yourself FFS.

Hopefully just some bruising for Thiago.

Hopefully just some bruising for Thiago.

Fingers crossed. If we can have a fit spine of Alisson, Matip, Hendo, Fab, Thiago, Salah, Mane for most of the season then a slightly weakened defence should be manageable for another league title stroll. And a deep CL stint.

[Mark79]

****ing Pickford though.

Such a reckless, erratic, brain dead cunt.
So bad, he’s actually dangerous. Moron.

[Mr Pink]

...then a slightly weakened defence...

Slightly?!

We’re left with 2 recognized center backs, both who have a terrible record of getting injured from nothing- just 2/3 weeks ago, both of them were injured...

****ing Pickford though.

And he's playing next week while Virg probably won't play until next year. It's a ****ing disgrace
