Match Thread | Man City vs Wolves (22/01/23)

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Clever again this game management from the ref,keeps the game in the balance by denying a stonewall pen,yet if by chance we don’t grab a second I wouldn’t be surprised if a wolves player falls over and he points to the spot,it’s clear as day what they are trying to do ..

See, it's not that hard to understand the game plan here. Simple yet effective

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Scholes and Wright say penalty but not given because they covering up the missed foul on Traore...

They've also just said Lewis fouled Huang not the other way round

 

[borassic]

That penalty wouldn't have been awarded anyway, var would've given that foul on Traore, guaranteed

I’m hoping this is the reason why they didn’t give it, needs to be explained tho

The club must after this insist on Darren England not being allowed anywhere near our games. 2 nailed on penalties in a few days he on VAR has not given.
They should actually call him out by name on the interview after the game and ask how he has not given these penalties and question his bias

 

[Paul1970]

Watching on firestick and Richard keys has just stuck a machete into city and there style of play . How he is allowed to say amazing .

 

[wolviedinho]

Every game we have clear decisions not given. Pissed off.

Lads are doing well and the crowd is urging them on once the tempo slows. Rico needs to be carful in that role. Caught out few times.

Unfortunatley for us it would still fall on deaf ears

Good half City. Now get the goal difference up please. We just might need it.

Let’s concentrate on the win first

 

[geek24601]

Very good half. Controlled the game and should have had a Pen! I’m not one for tin foil hats but the more this season is going on the more I’m starting to believe that the Premier League want an Arsenal/United title race! I genuinely don’t know one person who would have had an issue if that penalty was given. Shocking but come on City!!!!

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Calm down you paranoid fool. There’s no fix just poor referring.

EVERY other major footballing league has had its corruption scandal, but sure, it's ONLY the PL that isn't fixed...

I think if that were the case, play would've been brought back to the halfway line.

 

[Paul1970]

Absolute fiction.

Delusional fucking misogynists, the pair of em.

Just watching it . Can’t believe it .

 

[Phoenix900000]

BEin have Keys and Gray fucking gobshites.

I want to be deaf

There's always the mute button :)

I was at Etihad on Thursday and this, on TV at least, looks and sounds much better atmosphere. I think we've played quite well considering their hedgehog tactics and and I don't remember when it was the last time that both of our wings were excellent.
Refereeing has been ploughing new depths of incompetency on and off the pitch. This games, as many before, has been managed and not refereed. We just need to relax and score another one at least.

It has to be the reason why

 

[ayrshire_blue]

We've been soo much better so far today. Need to keep it up but make no mistake this has been our best performance for months. Wolves are a good side, you can see they're comfortable on the ball and have quick, technical players hence we're not completely running amok.

If we played like this vs Everton or Southampton we'd have been 3 up by half time.

Let's keep it going.

 

[bluealf]

Harry Kewell?

or Don Hutchinson?

Wright and Scholes in the studio, Wright all for the pen, Scholes just muttering, ginger ****

 

[wolviedinho]

We have had:
- 7 free crosses.
- 2 really dangerous shots outside of the box.
- 2 crosses (KDB and Gundo) that were goals but a defender barely touch it.
- A goal clear on the line.
- Shot inside the box by Haaland.
- A goal.
- A penalty.
- Grealish and Mahrez attacked every time they were 1 on 1.

All of this with a team that is parking the bus. Do people here actually watch football? FFS

Excellent post mate.

That’s the problem. It’s all fucking guesswork until some FA twat scripts the call.

Definitely a foul in the build up but also definitely a pen. Mental, hate the fact refs/var don't have to explain or be held accountable for decisions. Joke
