il admit im a united fan and i detest everything about arsenal, but that is a horrible horrible injury and i really feel for eduardo.

from hearing on sky sports it was deemed to be more clumsy than malicious!?!?!

WTF - thats a clumsy challenge

sorry i have to agree with arsene on this. that guy (taylor) shouldnt be on the pitch with tackles like that. i remember the tackle that nearly ended smithys carrer at anfield

best wishes to the guy and hope he returns to the top flight.

That wasn't a tackle, Smithy went to block the ball. No other player touched him.

I think Arsene is again misguided in his comments.

Taylor made a clumsy mistimed tackle, which unfortunately resulted in a horrific injury to a talented player.

I really hope Eduardo makes a full and speedy recovery, but Arsene Wenger needs to keep his childish comments to himself.

stand corrected - sorry

i suppose il wait to see/hear taylors reaction. i dare say there should be a public apology and i was a little zealous in saying he shouldnt be on the pitch

hopefully it was a clumsy tackle, and eduardo recovers to play professionally again.

nice to see that some people only care about slagging off Wenger rather then showing concern for he poor bugger that got injured

i'm sure Ferguson or any other manager would have been calm about the incident.

Eduardo is possibly looking at the end of his playing career with months and months of rehabilitation just to walk again let alone play professional football. The only thing keeping his foot attached to his leg was skin ffs. That's not a clumsy tackle, that's out and out brutality to hit someone that hard it does that to them and there is no place for that on a football pitch.

If it had been Rooney or Ronaldo i'm sure the Utd fans would have been saying oh it was only an accident nevermind
It was a bad tackle but there are a lot of tackles which shouldn't be made but are which fortunately don't end in a broken leg. So do you ban them for life or a few games based on the injury suffered by the player? I can understand it's an emotive subject but players do break their legs from time to time and you just have to wish them all the best for a full recovery. The game has done a lot to try and outlaw bad tackles. I hope the lad makes a full recovery.

good luck eduardo. hope your there for us again next season. think he was going to come good.
as for the people moaning bout wenger. shut up and show concern for the player, wenger is just letting off steam. he's horrified with what he saw and its obviously effected him. god sake did you see gary lewin after, he was distraut and he's a physio

I doubt very much he will recover to play Premier League football ever again, he's young so he has a chance, but its very similar to David Busst's leg break at Old Trafford back in '96 and he never played again.

It did'nt look a violent tackle, more extremely unfortunate, like Busst that was'nt a violent tackle just a combination of force to the leg.

All the best for Eduardo....from a Everton fan.

Aye I seen the footage on MOTD and it wasn't pleasant. I hope Eduardo makes a speedy & full recovery and it was good to see Arsene issuing a statement retracting his earlier comments. Remember that he had the comment about Taylor straight after the final whistle and emotions would have been running high.

Well at least Wenger has seen sense. Quite out of character for him really...

Awful tackle/accident hope he recovers from it.

Glad Wenger toned down his comments
