Man City Match Thread (H)

[NaijaFox]

Can someone explain in Plain English HOW WAS THAT NOT A PEN?! 

[RowlattsFox]

We've done alright. Shown some good intent when we get the chance but you gear Man City can cut us open at any point. 

 

Vardy unlucky with his chance, just how it's going for him. He's offering very little.

 

Solid half I'd say. 

[StriderHiryu]

Despite them having the lions share of possession, we did well that half and IMO looked the more dangerous. Nacho the best player on the pitch at the minute!

 

Just a shame Vardy didn't bury his chance...

[bovril]

So we've learned today that punching someone in the throat and near-breaking someone's leg is fine. 

[Aus Fox]

Really good half from us, should have had at least one penalty on another day could have had 3 and their keeper sent off.

Really poor officiating again, after Villa and Burnley in the last couple of weeks beginning to think we are not getting any decisions in our favour.

 

[ozleicester]

very happy with our half
very unha[ppy with the Ref

extremly unhappy with VAR

just pssed off with commentators

[Chester Dontlie]

Premier league referees are making themselves look like absolute clowns today yet again. We were robbed of not one but two penalties. First the Bruyne raises his hands in the box then the blatant foul on Nacho. It wasn't even reviewed ffs. ****ing fuming.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Liking how BR has set us up. We're well in this game.

[Guest]

Gave as good as we got. Why wasn't the DeBruyne handball a penalty? Moved his hand towards the ball touched it and it was on target!!

 

Iheanacho is the best player on the pitch first half.

[fuchsntf]

We've played well...mo complaints..

Shame Vardy hitting the post,with the ball having a rotten Curve on it...

We are seeing Nacho,even with less chances,getting on the ball,but using what he gets...

[TheUltimateWinner]

Good old David Cvnt, I mean Coote 

[foxfan92]

Enjoying this game (in spite of the questionable officiating) a lot more than the last game we played against them (even though we scored early on in that one).

 

While Ndidi's absence has at times led to them able to run at us though the middle (something you dont often see) we've more than held our own, had a fair number of chances and been very unlucky not to be a man up and had 2 penalties). 

 

We need a strong start to the second half, hoping we come out faster than they do and get an early goal to keep our tempo up.

[mozartfox]

 Need Wes and Matty on straight away.

[Benguin]

Great game so far. Man City look slicker on the ball but we look really lively going forward. Title mans needs to sharpen up a bit for me. Kelechi, Praet and Pereria looking great. 
 

Jamie’s shot a cm to the left and fair refereeing and we could be 2-0 up against 10 men.

[sishades]

A vast improvement on the Wolves match but yet again a penalty should have been awarded to due the keeper assaulting Nachoman. The replay shows the keeper going for the player and not the ball as his arms are nowhere near the ball, he is clearly aiming for KI and gets away with it. A red card all day long.

You do wonder if KDB’s hands were in their natural position raised up like that

[splinterdream]

Martin Tyler - yes Du Bruyne just protecting himself there, that's okay, no problem with that

[Brooksy]

David Coote is a fraud

[Fox85]

KD hand ball in the box is the most unnatural position for your hands to be in.

Denied 1st penalty.

 

K.I gets his head on the ball and Ederson straight up misses the ball completly and punches and kicks K.I in the face and chest.

 

Denied 2and penalty.

 

What is going on with VAR are they even looking at these incidents??????

 

Great first half thou well done lads keep it up

The change in formation has been key

[Pliskin]

So you can’t tackle hard because it’s deemed “dangerous” but you can punch a player in the face, whilst hurtling yourself through the air? Absolutely diarrhoea decision. 

[foxes_rule1978]

Assault and a handball goes unnoticed by VAR getting fed up with it ... 

[spacemunky]

Macca and Hargreaves called it a pen.

More often than not it’s poor officiating. What with the standard of refereeing and var. they’ve royally fvcked the game up. 

[Lambert09]

Imagine the scenes if Matty James came on and scored the winner.
