UEFA Champions League Quarter Final fixtures (9th - 10th, 16th - 17th April 2019)

Another ankle injury for Kane. If it's the same foot as before, he needs to be given a few months surely.
 
Kane injured. feck yeah.

*Before anyone starts, yes I am celebrating an injury. I care a log more about United getting top 4 than about whether Harry Kane misses a few games through injury. Sue me.

feck yeah!

:lol: thanks for explaining yourself. i was worried you lacked class.
 
Looked deliberate from Delph during the replay imo.

Ah come on it's clearly an accident.

So shit though, gutted for Kane and despite the whole 'they played better when he was out!' (this isn't actually really true, we were really scratching results from easy fixtures during his absence, Leicester was one of our worst performances of the season and we were super fortunate to win) he is a tremendous loss.
 
Mahrez with a superb tactical foul. Only useful thing he's done. Not sub him off.
 
Anything looks deliberate in slow motion

I wasn't sure, looked like Kane made a challenge and Delph stamped on his ankle but I only caught the last bit of the replay so you could both be right yeah.
 
2-3 months out is my guess if it's a grade 2/3 sprain. I'm currently nursing the exact same injury.
UUF that is a big blow for them not just in the tie but in hopes of top 4.
 
Don't look like anyone wants to score here..
 
Is it me or is Mahrez half the player he was for Leicester?

What a waste of £50 million or whatever City paid. His penalty miss vs Liverpool will probably end up costing them too.

:lol: you're right too. Don't mind the white-knights on this forum always trying to take the moral high ground pretending they care when really they're secretly delighted.

This is an United forum, not a rival sympathy forum!

Delph knew what he was doing IMO. Tried to take both the ball and then the man.
 
Maybe its just me but it looked like Kane went in strong with a force
 
So if you throw yourself at the ball recklessly it should be allowed to hit your arms with no repercussions because "that's how you defend"? That's what you both seem to be suggesting.
Exactly. It's basically a reward for shit defending.
 
feel like a 0-0 game favors spurs in 2nd leg just from the fact that since they have played a decent amount of games at city wont really be a true away game
 
Kane has no sense, why make the challenge anyway Delph wasn't going nowhere
From the replays it seems that Kane was making a normal no risk challenge (not even that big tackle), but his leg slipped a bit and then it got right under Delph's foot.
 
He charged down a shot with an outstretched arm, it's a penalty. Players diving in are trying to block it with their legs mainly or torso at least, if hits your head while diving feet first then you've got lucky on your mistimed lunge, if hits your arm it's a penalty.

You take the gamble by diving in. You can keep running and stick a leg out, swivel around like some other players do.

You can't give a green light and say defenders can block shots with flailing or outstretched arms. You then turn defenders into second keepers who say didn't mean to charge that shot down guv.
Players goes into slide tackles with the intention of getting the ball and gets decieved in the last second by the player on the ball and commits the foul. I don't see the difference here. He tried to block took the risk and hit his arm not anywhere else in the body.
 
Not sure why Kane went flying into that challenge to be honest, all a bit pointless to pick what looks to be quite a bad injury in a situation like that.
 
If the sight of a player hobbling down the tunnel due to a painful injury (which seems to be recurring) makes you go 'feck yeah!' then you have issues.

You don't need to be overly sympathetic, and obviously to an extent you're going to think about the impact on United, just have enough class to not publicly celebrate somebody being hurt.

It's not fecking complicated.
