What a waste. That was pretty far from being a red and it really scuttled any chances of winning, but as Locke said, Liverpool had their chances and once again could not finish. CL hopes for next year are fading, but there's still time to go on a run.

Ya it has to be very difficult to keep emotions in check when opposing fans treat you like garbage and throw coins at you. Nonetheless, he still needs to learn how to tune it all out and not have reactions like that. That is just part of being a professional athlete.
He has gotten better with the diving issue, and I think that is partly due to the fact that he has had almost no calls go in his favor over the past few weeks. Refs are on to him and not giving him the calls. So hopefully he starts fighting through more contact and trying to stay on his feet. That will make him a better player and restore his reputation.
