I don't think Arnautovic's push was that bad. I see players do that all the time. It merited a yellow card, but they were clashing shoulder to shoulder anyway. He didn't expect Debuchy to dislocate something.
this type of logic doesn't really work though. when a drunk driver gets behind the wheel, he isn't thinking about the guy he might potentially kill with his reckless act, hes thinking about getting home.
its the same for the terrible tackles we see week in and week out. you can say "he didn't intend to hurt him" but when you go flying in studs up, anything can happen if you are off by a fraction of an inch.
if debuchy lands differently, nothing happens. he landed in the worst position possible and now hes out 3 months.
the worst part of all of this is that the referee saw it and didnt deem there was anything wrong, so there can be no further discipline.
