RICARDO PEREIRA - Tackles 47; Successful 50/50s 22; Duels Won 94; Duels lost 78; Interceptions 18
And 2 goals my friend.
Ricardo is better than both this season.
Do you guys reckon there'll be a relatively weakened squad against Genk before the Man City match? Can't see the front 3 all playing together... Maybe one or 2 for some of the match? Can imagine Fabinho and full backs may be rested too?
I'd say it's quite subjective if things were bad or weren't bad and that's another thing we can argue for days and days.
There's gonna be times where there was a lot of outrage at some decisions and perhaps some weekends that were relatively incident-free.
Given there'd be a lot of controversies and talking points about decisions going either way or referees/assistants missing stuff, sometimes blatant, I'd say it was getting bad. Referees needed the help. Simple as that.
Did anyone watch Criminal: UK?
One of the episodes was about a lorry driver suspected of people trafficking and discarding the lorry...
Seems to have come true...

In a totally different game to be fair...
Choudhury's was a foul, for sure. Just don't think it was as bad as was made out after. It was only exacerbated because of Salah getting injured from it.
