It didn't look dangerous at the time in full motion. The replay makes it look dangerous in my opinion.

Boring Tuesday huh?
Yes, if Sturridge hadn't got out of the way that tackle could have done some serious damage. Yes, he got the ball but I don't think he's in control of that tackle, his studs are showing and he's off the ground. We always talk about how we want dangerous tackling stamped out of the game (regardless of intent) and that was an example of one.
Of course in general Koscielny doesn't tackle like that and is one of the finest interceptors of the ball in the Premiership IMO, but I'd prefer it if he didn't make those sorts of tackles. It makes Wenger look like a hypocrite also.
Sturridge was behind the ball. It was a 50/50 and Kos beat him to it. At worst it would have been a clash of boots if Sturridge would have committed to trying to kick the ball. He thought about it and then backed out of the challenge.
Bollox he got the Ball simples if the ref gave a pen of that then he'd be a mug and so would you for condoning it/
But i suppose you'd hve loved him to give a pen away dop you can gloat how shite he is and how right you were.
No way was that challege dangerous or a pen.
Ffs.
It was clearly a fucking brilliant tackle. Perfectly timed, kos got all of the ball and 'let sturidge know he was there' at the same time without making any contact.
Of course he was in control of it, we finally have a defender that will literally throw himself at the ball to stop the opposition from scoring and people are moaning about it :rolleyes:
What a fucking retarded debate this is.
