The Last Man Standing 17/18
Surely any set piece taken when the ball is moving requires a retake?
That ball was definitely moving when it was struck.
Excellent point, Hercule!

Would be a ridiculous suspension. Wasn't an off the ball incident and at no point does Vertonghen look at Rodriguez. A complete accident I'd say and if those sorts of things are going to result in retrospective action then we'll be having 2 or 3 incidents resulting in such in every game.
Sissoko looks like he's getting into the swing of things. No marauding runs with the ball last night, but he played some great balls which led to opportunities. I'm beginning to warm to him by the match and we just might have ourselves a close to a £20 million player after all.
Kane said after the match that he'd spotted that the penalty spots looked like new turf during the warm up. Should probably have had a couple of practice shots to test it.after watching the pen a few times, a little convenient that the turf under the spot is loose for a home game in which the opposition break fast players into the box with regularity...

Looks like Jan will get a 3 game ban as many news outlets have picked up on the incident.
Special thanks to Sky who have done an extensive stand alone piece about it on their website.

He can't have any complaints. Was a needless and reckless thing to do.
Our lack of disclipline at times is Poch's only blight on his record IMO. That kind of behaviour/play comes from the manager. Rose has 7 yellows already this season! He might as well try and pick up 8,9 and 10 sharpish as the fixtures in February/March are far kinder than the games in April/May.
Agree but I wonder if those other incidents someone brought up yesterday got the same attention in the press as this one with Jan.
Not particularly, but even less a fan of stats that are used in isolation.
