Unless the refs start to ACTUALLY deal with these horror challenges, we are going to need to do business in January. We might need to go after Sanchez now

Hands up those who don't think Puncheon's injury was as bad as he made out but that he was trying to evade a red card knowing what he had done?

Couldn’t get the video to play Colin - says it was taken down by a copyright request from the owner.

And here we have Graham Poll saying
“I struggle to see how Jon Moss could have given a red card to Jason Puncheon, though.
It was a nasty tackle on Kevin De Bruyne but it’s very difficult for a referee to give a red card to a player who is on a stretcher”

I’m sorry but that just won’t wash.
If a player has injured himself whilst committing a foul worthy of a red card I don’t care how “tough” it is for the official, he should still deal with the offence. I will be watching very carefully how soon Puncheon recovers from his ‘injury’. I think he knew what he had done, expected he would get a red card and with only a minute to go decided he’d take a cowards way out. I will eat my hat if I am proved wrong.
