The lunge was still going to look like that I think

But perhaps he'd have got more of the ball and less of the player if timed better.

However, that challenge was reckless, irrespective of whether he got the ball or not.

Just like Holt's was reckless today, going into the keeper the way he did.

McManananamamamamananan's looked worse though because of where he caught the Newcastle guy
