In the League Cup semi-final on Tuesday night, not only did he stamp on Emre Can, but he stamped on Martin Skrtel, and then wrestled our captain Steven Gerrard to the ground.

Here’s five other opponents who receive similar treatment when in front of the Kop.
5) Marouane Fellaini
Fellaini ticks most of the appropriate boxes… He signed for Everton before transferring to Manchester United, and plays football in such an ugly fashion – limbs flying everywhere – that he always seems only moments away from ending somebody’s career with a brutishly mistimed tackle or an elbow.
