Arsenal boss Wenger would be in favour of a special panel to monitor the severity of tackles and hand out extended bans where necessary to avoid the sort of serious injuries suffered by Gunners striker Eduardo last year.

Everton boss Moyes, who has lost Victor Anichebe for the rest of the season following a challenge from Newcastle midfielder Kevin Nolan, said today: "Certain things need to be looked closer at. I have not been happy for a while with some of the FA decisions and the people making those decisions.

"Maybe a panel is needed, or a group of people, who can look at certain things.

"Certainly we want to wipe out bad challenges like the one that has ended Victor Anichebe's season. We should be looking into such serious challenges, it did a lot of damage."

Anichebe has had an operation to repair ligament and cartilage damage this week.

Tottenham manager Redknapp believes the panel could also put right any injustices that occur.

He added: "Maybe we should have a panel looking at each sending-off. The Carlton Cole sending off was diabolical, the kid has put his foot up to pull a ball down and a player got across him. How can that be a second yellow card and a sending-off? There is nothing malicious about that, he didn't even know the player was coming.

"People have to look at that and say it's a crazy sending-off and should be rescinded. Other tackles when people are going over the top of the ball and are violent, maybe we could do with more than three matches for that type of tackle."

Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate admits it would be difficult to enforce sterner punishments.

"It's quite difficult to determine a lot of the time. How do you determine intent on certain tackles?" he said.

"If it's just because a player gets injured, sometimes there can be an element of chance in that, so it's very difficult. I doubt it is something that will come in.

"But there is a concern about reckless tackles. Having said that, the tackling now is nothing like when I started. There is a lot more protection for players.

"But even as a defender, I think it's right that we protect the more skilful players because they are the people the fans pay to come and watch."
