Although otamendi did get a hand to the face, there's no doubt he exaggerated the contact, as every player does throughout the game in order to highlight it to the ref...

But pretending there was contact, particularly when dangerous play is being inferred, I think that player needs banning for 3 games.

Holding your face when there was no contact is trying to get a player a straight red.

The question is, is this being looked at or was it just talk?

I'm nowhere near sky today mate - might be a good thing - but I'd imagine in the interest of fairness they'll feel obliged to show the simulation in slow motion so the FA feel obliged to lay down a marker.

Can anyone shine more light on this??

Carragher was calling out otter for feigning... Rag boy immediately put him right and said the Calvert and Baines before him had done the same.

Not seen any replays though.

Calvert-Lewin and Agüero face no action under new FA simulation rules

• Everton and Manchester City forwards involved in red-card incidents
• FA intends to pursue charges only in clear cases of no contact

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Sergio Agüero will not face Football Association charges of simulation under new regulations for their involvement in incidents that led to red cards for Kyle Walker and Morgan Schneiderlin in Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Everton.

Calvert-Lewin and Agüero have escaped being referred to a three-person panel that judges cases of alleged simulation as, it is understood, the incidents are not viewed as clear-cut.

Walker was sent off first, just before half-time, on Monday. The City right-back had just been booked for a foul on Leighton Baines when Bobby Madley, the referee, adjudged Walker to have elbowed Calvert-Lewin.

The forward went down dramatically, which convinced Duncan Ferguson of Walker’s force, moving the Everton coach to remonstrate with fourth official, Michael Oliver. Calvert-Lewin’s fall seemed also to influence Madley, who showed a second yellow card to Walker before replays clarified that the defender’s elbow touched the player’s ribs rather than face.

Schneiderlin was also sent off for a second booking, on 88 minutes. The midfielder took the ball cleanly from Agüero but caught the centre-forward with a trailing boot. The tackle seemed fair and the Argentinian appeared to exaggerate his fall.

The FA has brought in regulations which allow retrospective action for deception of a match official through “simulation/exaggeration/feigning injury”.

Although some will argue that Calvert-Lewin and Agüero were guilty of that, the FA intends to bring cases to a panel only when there has been a clear case of no contact. Calvert-Lewin and Agüero did receive contact.

If a case does reach a three-person panel for judgment, the members review the incident independently and return a verdict unaware of their fellow panelists’ decisions.

If they are unanimous in believing a player deceived a match official, the sanction will be a two-match ban. The card shown to an opponent can then be rescinded.
