Match Thread | Man City vs Nottingham Forest (23/09/23)

[M Gaudino]

Every adult in the ground knows that’s simulation and not a red card but Rodri has, by the letter of the law, given the ref an opportunity to send him off and he’s foolish in doing so.

No need to touch his neck, Gibbs-White is a **** for play acting and hope karma sorts him out in whichever way it sees fit.

The plus side (so long as we still win):

One game of the ban is a league cup match he would miss anyway.

A little enforced test is good for his long term viability anyway.

we actually dont have a clue how this side plays in a tough game without Rodri. He's never injured.

 

[M Gaudino]

maybe rodders just wants the rest he's always asking for

 

[Chi-town blues]

Probably did but that happens in every match. Can't react like that

true no excuse

According to radio commentary the forest player made a meal of it . Stupid to raise his hands .
Got Forest fired up now .

He made a dreadful meal of it. But it was brainless from Rodri.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Why take off Alvarez instead of Haaland? We need his defensive help!

 

[super_city_si]

Wow full on defence from pep. Not sure i like it

He had his hand around Gibbs White's neck, never staying on after that.

 

[KingGeorge]

Pep putting up the defensive wall…

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

A fucking disgrace from Rodri.

Puts us in the shit for today.

And the next 3 games too. Including Arsenal away.

Stupid stupid Man.

 

[hertsblue]

Clear red. At least 3 games out. I take it Carabou counts towards that.

Yep, probably would have been rested for that anyhow

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

Wasnt there a game recently where someone grabbed the throat and it wasnt a red.

 

[bluemonkey71]

Idiotic by Rodri

 

[Big Dave Watson]

Absolutely ridiculous

Whether think it's a red or not, there's absolutely no point in running that risk

Totally agree, absolutely fucking ridiculous of him especially with the injury situation. He wants fining heavily by Pep. Really let himself and the team down here.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Why take off Alvarez instead of Haaland? We need his defensive help!

but also we need height

 

[Iassel]

Need to get to the Arsenal game now without dropping points. No Rodri or kdb against those twats will be hard.

I can only imagine people haven’t actually watched Arsenal this season, theyll not be within 15 points of the title this year.

 

[deano ou812]

Is Rodri taking his time leaving the pitch as going by posts it seems he’s still on the pitch let’s move on we are down to ten men and can’t change it now ..

 

[big gaz]

Bonus for the waist coat he gets to see Kalvin ;-)

 

[Tuearts right boot]

On the bright side, we always play better with 10 men.


Don't we ??

 

[TrentGrisham]

Rodri really fucked us over. Mental reaction from him to nothing

Bizarre. It's like he wanted to not play anymore.

 

[Zenmanc]

There should be 5 red cards a match if this is a red card

Game is actually entertaining if you take out the blue tinted contacts. Rodri got played and deserved the red.
If you can't see that start following a little simpler sport.
