Man City (A) 22/1: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Johnny75]

Talk me through that. Grealish dives. Ref doesn’t make a decision. It goes to VAR for a pen, which isn’t given. So why’s Grealish not been booked for diving then?

It wasn't a dive

 

[Wilf Wolf]

So a dive but again no yellow?

 

[t3ch]

Great clearance by collins

 

[Jinky]

It was a good goal. Not a lot we can do about it.

Really? Didn’t think KDB’s cross was that special. Just kinda put it in towards the back post and Haaland jumps higher than Collins.

Soft, IMO, after all the hard work we’ve put in.

 

[Jinky]

It wasn't a dive

So it should have been a penalty then?

 

[The Bear]

No, there was some contact but not enough for a pen.

 

[WsWolf]

¿?

Barely touches him, the balls going out of play. It's as blatant as it gets.

 

[Alan]

Collins showing out now. Fair play I guess.

Could it be the foul on Traore?

Don't be silly. Sometimes teams just score good goals and that's one of them.

Yes

We’ll agree to disagree.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

He simulated a foul. The contact didn’t result in him falling the way he did so he dived.

 

[The Bear]

A reasonable first half in terms of general play and organisation.

But we've had zero shots, zero corners, and zero touches inside their box. Not good enough, even if you are away at Man City.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Yes

So it should have been a penalty then?

No pen for me, not because it was not a foul, but because of the Foul 45 seconds before

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Both!

 

[Alan]

I’m truly flabbergasted that anyone can have seen that and not think it’s a penalty.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We've been really well drilled. Realistically though just defending isn't likely to succeed, and we have far better attackers on the bench than we have on the pitch.

Collins and Lemina have been excellent.

Coote is such a terrible referee.

 

[Banjo]

We’ll agree to disagree.

What did Wolves do that was shit though? Bueno defended well against Mahrez, but De Bruyne put a perfect cross in to suit Haaland's late run. Nothing Collins could do about it.

He’s put decent whip on a ball where his striker can run and attack it above everyone else, in the centre of the goal. How is that not a good cross!? That is literally what he is trying to achieve
