"I thought he'd done that on purpose - it looks like he did. The ball was off the pitch - he had no need to make the challenge. He will miss two games. Is it an easy way out? "I thought he meant it. When the ball went on to that left-hand side my first reaction was don't do it. He did it. Vardy was off the pitch, Willo was off the pitch, the ball was off the pitch. There was no need to do it and I'm not accepting that."
What an utterly brainless thing to say about a professional footballer. Here's one of the many examples where JC tried to deflect attention well away from his own deficiencies after the most shambolic performance of the season away at Leicester City. We all know that Willo simply isn't Premier League standard. But his main redeeming quality is his honesty. You can see that he's always trying his absolute best, even though more often than not it's nowhere near good enough. What made this quote even more shocking was the fact that Daryl Janmaat, who received an equally thoughtless red card, wasn't mentioned. It was almost as if Carver had gone into ultimate fan mode and picked on the player he knew wasn't popular on the terraces, leaving 'Mr Popular' to run free. Cowardly.
