One thing they look at is whether the fist was clenched; it's hard to elbow someone with an unclenched fist. Flailing arm is different, but for the proper nasty elbow, clenched fist.

It's not a flailing arm though - he deliberately went for the man with his arm, and hit him in the face, long after the ball had gone. It'll be seen as dangerous play, can't be anything else.

No way that is getting overturned. Sanchez looked at the Watford player as he put his arm up. I don't think he was trying to elbow him though, just block him off.
