To be fair, I haven't seen any Liverpool commentary saying he shouldn't have been given a red card. Plus he accepted full responsibility afterwards.

Yeah, you guys got this one in the bag.

I hate pool, but would prefer to have United miss top 4 again. Now that doesn't look likely

2) Kompany becoming a liability for club and country
The phrase 'an uncharacteristic error from Vincent Kompany' became redundant at some point this season, or possibly even last, as the number of the Manchester City man's mistakes grew to such an extent that his supporters/apologists could no longer blame Martn Demichelis or Eliaquim Mangala. Kompany had an eventful evening during Belgium's qualifier against Israel in Tel Aviv too, firstly going slightly rogue by attempting a few keepie-uppies near the centre circle before launching an implausible volley from around 45 yards that sailed way over the bar safe to say a pass would probably have been the better option there. And then, with Belgium only 1-0 up, Kompany managed to get himself sent off for two yellow cards, the second coming after losing the ball with a stepover attempt and then trying to retrieve the situation by grabbing Eran Zahavi around the shoulders. Kompany looked stunned by the decision of Mark Clattenburg, but this left his team half an hour to survive in a qualifying match with 10 men, which they did, but it was hardly the work of a responsible captain. This used to be a defender on whom anyone could rely, his mistakes rare and his temperament steady, but not these days Kompany has now become a liability for both club and country.
