And Souness, who has not managed a club since being sacked by Newcastle in 2006, threw his pen across the table as he urged teams to get back to basics before delving into tactics.He said: Let me tell you, you can watch any football programme and they’ll talk about systems and tactics and formations, substitutions, preparation. It’s quite simply a game of football.If you first get right that you’re first to the ball, you’re on the front foot, and you’re going forward, you’re playing on the front foot and you’re attacking, and tactics then after that might come into play. If the tactics come first, we’re going to go out, we’re going to have this system, we’re going to do this tactically, but you’re second to the ball, your tactics go out the window.You might as well [acts out washing his hands]. I’m fed up of listening to people talk bull about tactics and formations and too much football science.

The outcome wasn't really affected by whether it was a "red card" tackle as Jags was sent off (seemingly) for preventing a goal-scoring opportunity by fouling the player. Had it been in a different area of the pitch, or if the player hadn't been right through on goal then Jags would/should have got a yellow for the "foul" if it was indeed a foul.
