This is most definitely not a red card based on what I’ve seen as yellow cards this season. Why not VAR see the replays and make the suggestion to Oliver if it should be upgraded to red- but when a player rolls 10x after and you show studs it looks really bad in normal speed

Red is not an issue.

Consistency is. If this is a red, man there is a very long list of yellows given since August that should have been a red.

But what pisses me off the most : come back one month ago. Michael Oliver at Emirates didn’t dare to send off Kovacic for City for two worst challenge than this one.

Why would Oliver suddenly change his mind and consider this is a straight red and not Kovacic ?

Reckless, foolish red. We’re up 3-1 no need for that. Shows once again he is a lightweight who hasn’t adapted to this league

Maybe this is retaliation by the refs. We didn’t get red a red card when we possibly maybe should have last time. Then we went and shouted at them for other bad decisions. Just glad they “got back at us” at such in inconsequential moment in a game…

I mean clearly wasn’t any Ill intent there, but also still a red card. Unfortunate for him.
