Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano could have the book thrown at him for his
behaviour after being sent-off in Liverpool's 3-0 defeat at Manchester United.
The Guardian says Mascherano is likely to face a Football Association charge and
an increased suspension for his furious reaction to being sent off.
Already booked for a 10th-minute lunge on Paul Scholes, the 23-year-old
Argentinian raced 20 yards to question Steve Bennett's decision to book
Fernando Torres for dissent and received an identical punishment from the
referee. The red card for two bookable offences means he is suspended for
Sunday's derby with Everton but his reaction, refusing to leave the pitch and
haranguing Bennett before being ushered down the tunnel by Peter Crouch and
a physio, invited further punishment.
Asked whether he feared the FA would make an example of Mascherano, Reds
boss Rafa Benitez said: "The player was only asking. I don't think to ask is a big
problem."
