No maybe you’re not built for them. Try making that challenge and see how you get on.

I don’t think anyone is specifically built to not take head injuries to be fair. Maybe Harry Maguire as I feel like he has an extra layer of skull.
Poor Hot Rod, he really has the worst luck
That is really uncomfortable to look at especially combined with the fall in the tv clip. No wonder he was out of it and on oxygen. Wish him a speedy recovery.He was out cold the moments he knocked heads, hence his landing (no arms out to stop himself etc)...
Even when he came around he had the "thousand-yard stair"
He was unconscious for quite some time.
He just can't catch a break. From injury to that Son racist debacle then finally comes back and gets K.Oed in his first match... I reckon, he will end up like Lamela.Poor Hot Rod, he really has the worst luck
Pretty hard to deny that there were clear symptoms of concussion when he was clearly out cold.3 weeks (if the club actually say there were clear symptoms of a concussion)
So earliest return to play is day 21 which is September 8 or 9; misses Everton and Newcastle
clash of heads is never a nice feeling. typical that we have a team where a few are scared of heading the ball then this happens.
yet again he has a set back just as he looks to be getting tuned up.

He was fucking awful Monday and was about to get hooked anyway.
Plod plod plod, safe safe safe.
I thought he positioned himself well defensively. Made 3 tackles and 2 intercepts. 98% pass completion. Lost the ball once.
Ok he didn't create a lot offensively but that wasn't his primary job as DM.
He wasn't pressed at all in the first half - he won't get an easier game all season. Second half he was just... Urgh.
In games like that without Bissouma, wed have been better off playing Bergvall or Gray in the midfield three and just aimed to dominate further.
He also didn't push up and commit to the advanced press enough either.
awful? i thought he done alright. yea plays safe a lot but sometimes you need that. rodri plays safe 90% of the time. midfields need a player that keeps it ticking over.
Yes it is - at his best, he still fires quick one time forward passes between the lines which is absolutely critical to how we play - even from DM
That didn’t happen Monday
He didn’t have anything to do defensively first half so difficult to gauge
I’m a fan tho!
I thought he was good 1st half
Always makes himself available for the ball which is crucial
You can't be serious? This was a joke, right?
He got sparked out cold by an accidental headbutt.
No. In the match thread I was calling out the fact that he was only showing for the cb’s when he wasn’t under any pressure, and this slowed our build up and made it predictable. He only received the ball 46 times. In the last away game Bissouma played against a pure bus park where we had similar possession (west ham ) he received it 86.
I don’t know if that’s the best way of telling us, he still looks out of it! 
Joking aside, concussion seems to be a bitch to get over, so he’ll be feeling the effects of his injury for a few weeks I imagine

Ironically you could say that you probably suffered the same injury Bentancur got on Monday with a post like this.
Bet that sounded funnier in your head
