Not sure how you can let either of those guys stay on the field. At some point soccer is going to have to do something and allow for free substitution for head injuries.

They already do.

They already do.

Don't be difficult.

There is a rule in place that has literally never been used. Giroud shouldn't have been on the field.

How am I being difficult? Currently, you are allowed a "free substitution" for a player that has head injury. Injured player can even go back in the game after passing tests.

 

[ckhokie]

None of that is enforced, and you know it. The way his teammates put him up on his side, it was pretty clear Giroud was knocked out, at least temporarily.

Who cares if there's a 'rule' if no one ever abides by it or enforces it? FIFA needs to step up and be stricter on this

Manure paid +59mm Euros for DiMaria. Sold him for +43mm Euros. That's a 15mm Euro loss.

Manure were dire yesterday. they look like the team most likely to fall out of the top 4. I would have agreed that they need another striker. Rooney can't play 55 games. Well he could but...Yesterday he was completely innocuous. They keep playing like that it won't matter if he gets injured or not.

DDG gone, he was the only reason they were even in the top 4 last year. Without him and that defence they'll struggle.

Judging any team after one game is dumb

There is still time for some signings but w/ the current rosters you have to think this race comes down to Chelsea and Man City again.

Arsenal need a top notch striker and their defense doesn't seem strong enough.

ManU need a striker or two and by getting rid of Di Maria there is a playmaking gap to be filled.

Liverpool & Tottenham both a notch below. Could we see a surprise club this year? Doubt it.

Cool. 4 days in a row with at least one game.

I'm thinking if Liverpool can adjust and get the ball to Benteke more, he'll notch his first Liverpool goal against Bournemouth on Monday.

Lmao @ Tottenham. allowed 2 late goals to stoke after being up 2-0 with 12 minutes left

Benzema would of been a difference maker.

This match is so big that the Liverpool manager is here to watch

Arsenal @ Crystal Palace had a great pace to the game. Surprised to only see 3 goals.

Great little move inside the box there with defenders swarming. Truly a great goal scorer.

God Costa is so freaking dramatic
