Leroy Sane - Ankle ligament damage confirmed

[Sir peace frog]

Forget which topic it was where some blues were claiming that City were getting kicked off the pitch

A follow-up to the discussion

i read that ,there is a lot of difference between being fouled and type of fouls.

Even if you think the refereeing is biased, it's hard to reconcile with a scenario of City being kicked off the pitch. More like, some bad challenges were not punished as they should have been.

It’s not difficult to reconcile it at all if you have eyes. 8 red card fouls have not been given against our opponents.

The article you posted is completely irrelevant. The number of fouls has nothing to do with the severity of the challenges.

Bang on. What a complete waste of time that was.

Exactly, also do they count fouls if we have played on/been given advantage as in Kev at palace?

We have had shite kicked out of us regular since Nov / Dec . Aside the mane , it's alright to kick a keeper in the head argument.

Some challenges have been quite frankly career threatening. End of discussion

Exactly any amount of figure massaging is irrelevant, we've been on the end of too many shockers any of the media darlings would have had a much different response from the press. Now I can just about live with the media slagging the club, owner off etc but to almost sweep career ending challenges because it's City under the carpet is tantamount to condoning serious injury as it's only City's players.

So true , prime example was Bournemouth away game , Cook launched himself at Jesus near the corner flag , two footed off the ground and the referee gave a throw-in and ever since our players have been subjected to several "over the top" challenges . Then you look how soft Walkers's sending off against Everton was when their forward feigned injury , the fact we are winning the league in a canter is even more satisfying , this team will not be intimidated by thugs.

No he doesn't. Sane and Sterling joined us as inverted wingers and have gone back to their "natural" sides, enabling the overlaps and channel runs that are so much part of our game. I'd be looking at doing the same with Bernado to get Sterling back on the right, although he has no pace so it might not work.

I've never been a fan of the inverted wingers trend, and that holds even more true when you play against packed defences: you need to get behind them through overlaps/pullbacks.

Fully agree with that Dave it automatically spreads play and widens the pitch. That's the last thing our opponents want!
