On intention. I remember Materazzi getting a red card for not even touching huckerby ... that was based on intent apparently. Similarly Steven Gerrard getting a pen once an them saying the intent was to foul him, whilst no foul actually being committed. Now you can foul an everton player with intent but as long as the foot slides down the leg an hits the foot all is good with the world.
Won’t be long before the thought police start gifting them pens, Davies wanted to smash Firmino, straight red pre-kick off.
 
SERIOUS FOUL PLAY

A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.
FA rules
 
You're entitled to your opinion, but I've now seen the ref on the pitch, the VAR ref, Peter Walton and Dermot Gallagher all see it as a yellow, and the latter 2 give pretty much the same explanation as to why it's a yellow. Those tackles always look worse in slow motion or in freeze frames, but he essentially stamped on Onana's foot, which is literally never given as a red, it's just the initial drag down the shin that made it look bad, in my opinion.
It’s a red card mate the only reason it isnt is because he plays for LIVERPOOL
