Hopefully this will cause Pickford to have a good look at himself; he's been on the verge of seriously injuring someone a number of times. 

Guess you used to say the same about Gerrard?

Never ceases to amaze me that this part of Gerrard's career is completely glossed over. The Naysith challenge in particular was just a total cheap shot, he 100% tried to hurt him. He was also a prolific diver, (see Champions League Final 2005) yet he is adored. It's probably because the media down south is rife with Liverpudlians. I always thought out of Gerrard, Scholes and Lampard debate the one I would leave out, every day of the week, is Gerrard.

Doing a good job with Rangers just now though to be fair!

I agree you've picked out two flaws in his game. His diving was very bad and was never picked up by the media but Gerrard carried a very average Liverpool team for years. Do you think if you put Scholes or Lampard in that Liverpool team they would have won the Champions League??? Put Gerrard in they Man Utd or Chelsea teams and they would still have been successful.

For the record I would say Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard but I think it's close with Scholes and Gerrard, Lampard is comfortably 3rd for me.

It's absolutely the right decision. 

Yep, agree. The referee has had a mare but we can't just start getting into the habit of banning players because someone got seriously hurt as a result of their challenge. It should have been a red at the time but the ref saw it and made his decision. Things like this happen every single week and nobody bats an eyelid until a bad injury happens to a big player.

Last season Son got a red card for Spurs away at Everton, it was a foul and a bad tackle but never a red card. It was later rescinded because the ref had clearly given the red after seeing the extent of the injury sustained.

Unfortunate for Van Dijk but time to move on.

Souness' reaction to it on Sky Sports yesterday was outrageous given the way he conducted himself on the pitch.
