Zlatan will get injured, and their hopes will evaporate/go up in smoke (take your pick)

wat

They're three points away but have a game in hand over Liverpool - but so does Arsenal who are one point from United.

Which exactly my point.

If both win, united is 1 point away from 4th place

Lol so Sanchez was dropped because of a training ground bust up. In situation like these you wouldn't put him on the bench either, but wenger decided to bring him late on against pool.

Zlatan elbowed Mings of Bournemouth and got away it but pundits are saying he won't get away with it. 3 match ban please : xfinger:

"He ran into my elbow"

Good one, Zlatan.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

TBH Mings deserved more than an elbow to the head. He stepped on his head FFS.

 

[Ocelot]

They should both be banned two or tgree games. Retaliatory fouls are especially harshly punished for a reason btw

"He ran into my elbow"

He has to get done for this.

Whether Mings stepped on zlatan's head intentionally or not is debateable. IMO he jumped over rooneys leg and as he described it “I jumped over someone else I think and then yeah if I caught him, I caught him,” Mings said. “It’s a big jump if you are asking me to jump over two people."

He will probably get around the same punishment.

Rooney claimed he was "right there" and "saw the studs to the head"

Zlatan's foul was intentional. His might have been but that's harder to prove.

Zlatan's elbow was more dangerous and could have done a lot of damage. He deserves a bigger punishment, even if I understand his anger.

Watch Mings' eyes in the gif, he isn't looking at Zlatan as he jumps over him, just at Martial running through.

It's difficult to tell. In dubio pro reo.

even if it's not intentional, it's still punishable, you should watch where you jump. penalty should be smaller than for intentional, but I think there still should be penalty, it could've caused a very serious trauma if Zlatan was unlucky.

It wouldn't be punishable. It's a jump. It's not a tackle, it's not a challenge. And players were tumbling over each other. The only way that is a foul is if it is intentional.

And I like Zlatan, but what he did was way worse. It's part of his game and probably part of why he's so good, but he should still be punished severely. Especially because this wasn't something rash done by a teenager.

what if he Zlatan is unlucky and it causes a serious trauma, the guy is still not responsible for that jump?

imo it's his fault if he isn't looking and starts jumping on peoples heads and doesn't even apologise, if someone did it to me or my teammate in amateur football, I'd do my best to kick his ass

He should be punished really, it's not hard to jump over someone. But clearly taking your own action is punishable, even more so.

If he says he did his best to jump over them and didn't even see Zlatan, there's no culpability.

Either he knew Zlatan was there and it was intentional, or he didn't. There's no in between imo.

 

[PhRoZeN]

In an ideal world if there was no intention and is clear to see then there should be no ban.

But because of how serious of it could have been, maybe he should get a 1 match ban. Its a difficult one because decisions like these would then make players conscious of spending less time looking at the ball and more of where they are running.

Zlatan, on the other hand should get 3 match ban.

he didn't do it on purpose, but he acted way too carelessly by not looking where he's jumping and simply ran away after the incident. if he had acted like a man, maybe he wouldn't have gotten the much deserved elbow
