Early this morning, 10-man Newcastle lost to Liverpool 2-3 in the Premier League. In Sky Sports, Henry and Carragher discussed Anthony Gordon's red card.
Henry said: "In our era, this may be a foul, but it may not be a red card. But now the times are different, this is a red card. When the incident happened, I immediately decided it was a red card. Why did I put myself in this situation? I know how you put pressure on the players and your routine of approaching the goalkeeper. You know that you can't reach the ball at all, you know how far he is from you. I'm just blinded by the emotions on the scene. I can understand this impulse, but it is indeed a red card."
Carragher said: "Gorden's move is too stupid. He was obviously the best player on the court before, and he performed amazingly. Newcastle must be regretting it now. It's not because they have one less player to fight, but because of the red card. They should have expected that they might lose their players tonight. We saw the banners in the stands and the atmosphere in the whole game inciting confrontation. Even the club owners encouraged the players to fight head-on, but sometimes you have to play with your brain, and here (referring to the head) you have to use."
