KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Sturridge Injury - Henderson Suspension

To those that replied about the red card , I wasn't in any way saying it didn't deserve a red. I just thought it only deserved 1 week not 3. Seen much worse than that this year go un dealt with.

A straight red is 3 games by rule, what are you talking about? If he deserves a red, which he does, then it's 3 games, not a week (unless of course three games are played in a week) or one game. Do you get it?

Ah ok my bad. Thought you could appeal it for some reason. I just don't think a straight red should automatically be 3 games.

I thought a straight red was only a 3 game ban if it was for violent conduct?

No. A straight red is an automatic 3 game ban. Only regret is that it was easily avoidable.

And would have been if Moses hadn't had a bad touch which gave them the ball in the first place.

True, but Henderson's first touch on receiving the ball was also poor to be fair. Had he controlled it well, it wouldn't have run away from him.

End of,grear, Allen to replace Hendo, but who replaces Sturridge then, Lucas? Or may be you want to play Moses or Aspas?

Although he does contribute a lot of running and closing down, Henderson has developed a habit of reckless and challenges and has been lucky so far.

I am confident the side can adapt and cope in his absence.

Sturridge is such a prize asset but he has been a little jaded and i think Suarez will take on even more responsibility in his absence.

2 yellows followed by a red is a 1 game ban.

No malice from hendo just a tired challenge.
