Mahmoud Hassan (Trezeguet) - SOLD

[Nunkin1965]

I'm not sure Gerrard will stand for his pathetic behaviour.
Made a frustrating second half even more so as he'd got past his man.

[Sexual Ealing]

Given the prevalence of diving at every club at every level in every country, I suspect that it's a bit naive to think that players aren't told to do it.

[OCD]

Gerrard just needs to have a word (or two) with him.

[N'ZMAV]

if we're to get to where we all want us to get to as a club, then players like Trez who have 3 good games a season need to be replaced. And soon.

It was awful and he should have been booked - but on the flip side, if Konsa goes down in the first half - thats probably a penalty.  It breads the cheating menality IMO

[OCD]

There was contact on Konsa, there wasn't on Trezeguet. Konsa should have gone down really because the nature of VAR means they would review it and as soon as the video ref judges that the ref should take a look at it, 9 times out of 10 it's going to be a penalty. With Trez, the ref knows what he's doing and can just play on until he gets a call from VAR. Meanwhile, Trez has blown a good chance to pick someone out.

I remember gerrard doing something similar at Villa Park!

We would probably have sliced it.

Diving and conning the ref into giving a pen (salah, Fernandes etc) is bad enough.
Throwing yourself in the floor, clutching your face like you’ve been stabbed in it, when there has clearly been no contact, is a different level of cunty.

[PaulWinch again]

I’m less offended than some by it. I just think it’s stupid - you know there’s VAR now and for all its faults that is never going to result in a pen.

I googled it and there’s a 9/10 dive to win a penalty in a 2-2 draw (Guzman slides in).  The game was at Anfield though, not that it makes any difference to the wider point.

It was a dive (against Petrov), from which Gerrard scored the winning goal (direct free kick)

My recollection of this incident (if we're talking about the same one) is that the Villa player didn't make contact because Gerrard stopped, so it was sort of an attempted foul rather than an actual foul. The uproar was that he appealed to the ref who couldn't wait to give it. Then stuck it in the top corner of course.

That's the one. That exact incident was my reason hated him after that and i was opposed to him getting the Villa job. I've mellowed a bit now after his good start and I'm right behind him now obviously. But he could impart just a little bit of that type of gamesmanship on our players because Konsa should definitely have hit the deck when his shirt was being pulled which would have forced the incompetent clowns at Stockley Park to do something. Nothing on the lines of Trezeguet's antics today though. An absolute embarrament to himself and the club.
