Wtf was Cancelo doing there?

What he's done all game!!!

just deserved a goal , perhaps ?

Almost turned from villain to hero, very close!!

Doesn't detract from his shocking performance today and still potentially a red card in the waiting.

Hope he survives it and more importantly learn from it

What is the potential red card you are talking about? If it's the incident with Holding then it was Holden who was lucky not to be booked, Cancelo done nothing.

Not even I doubt his talent Johnny....what we can never ignore or brush under the carpet is his shocking decision making when one on one...hes actually fuckign clueless..there is no other word for him in those situations - you cannot teach it either.

More cheating, this time from Tierney last night. Retrospective action needed against this disgraceful behaviour.

The really annoying thing for me is it could be stopped almost immediately if the authorities had the balls.

He should be hauled before a public forum on TV and asked to explain his actions of why he went down clutching his head when there was no contact whatsoever.

If this happened every week for this type of behaviour, most if not all players, wouldn't want the public shame and humiliation. I can take players being overly aggressive and reacting to hard challenges, it's part and parcel of the game. But what I really can't abide is cheating to win a penalty or trying to get an opponent sent off and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Name and shame them.

But of course the authorities dont want to eradicate this type of behaviour. If anything, they probably don't mind it as it generates talking points and news feeds which generate income.

So sadly, I fear this diving and cheating is not only here to stay, but it's going to be encouraged and will get worse

Went for John Stones just ahead of Fern

That smash on Aubameyang did it for me
