The tackle was out of frustration from the player which was completely unnecessary but he has come in from the side and got the ball first. It’s just a shame Fofana was stretching as the guys weight came down. Was looking forward to seeing a Cags and Fofana partnership. He made the scissor movement to leave something on wes in retribution of course he didn’t mean to break his leg but when you do things that are reckless, there are often consequences…. He’s a professional and he should know better. You would hope that the senior pros in their dressing room have a stern word with him .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Nacho Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 Sickening. Surely that bloke should be getting a retrospective ban from FIFA. If I did that in Sunday league I’d be getting more of a punishment with a £50 fine than this bloke will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a potential career ending tackle especially with the swipe of his right leg and twist of his body to put as much force into it as possible in what was a 'friendly'. He set out to hurt him and did exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanchflower78 Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 Fofana is an exceptional talent. Tonight highlighted again how good he is. Whoever we bring in will not be close to his ability, therefore we are immediately weakened. Absolutely gutted for the lad, wish him a speedy recovery but I suspect it won't be this season we see him again. The players were mortified around him. It's not just the ability you lose but the character he is within the squad, hugely popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 To my mind - you just don't do that in a game. You get frustrated and can give a player a kick in the shin or an elbow but that's it. You keep it safe. Lost all respect to Emery for that, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a premeditated scissor tackle which is reckless and purposely puts the player being tackled at risk of serious injury. Less common these days to see such a tackle, but if it had been a league match with VAR, clear red card for endangering the player. Nino knew exactly what he was doing, he would have known he had done Wes some serious damage, but got up immediately and ran off, knowingly leaving Wes with a horrendous injury. Shameful behaviour, but no doubt he is proud of himself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VLC86 Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 Don’t even know what to say, difficult to describe how angry/sick I felt watching that from the stand. A genuine world class talent just about to have a huge season and some thug, who was rolling around like the same happened 3 minutes prior from just a shirt pull, does that. A little bit shocked the game didn’t descend into violence after that, how one of our players doesn’t land a punch on him I don’t know. Defence is in tatters before the season has even started, **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Gipsy Lane Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 Let’s hope and pray the lad is ok just seen some sickening pictures that could be a career ending one !

Was only going to end in injury to the player on the receiving end he knew exactly what he was doing! There’s no defending it imo and it blows my mind seeing people trying to do so! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetintedspecs Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 Horrendous that, at this moment in time I'm not bothered about , intent, punishment, retaliation ,apologies or replacements.

drumbeat Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 (edited) If I'm honest, that rates as one of the worst tackles I've ever seen (at this level). Pure retribution with intent to injure. Edited 4 August 2021 by drumbeat 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve just seen it on YouTube and it’s stomach churning to see close up. I was sat at the front of J1 so didn’t really see what happened at first. Really put a downer on the game seeing that happen to such a talented young lad. Devastated for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must not endanger a player by making a deliberately highly risky challenge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
