International Matches | 15th - 22nd November 2023

[balotelli's back pocket]

The worst thing is, the referee knows full well that's not a pen. You can see it written all over his face. But he can't embarass his VAR by going to the screen and disagreeing with them.

Hideous decision.

 

[TrentGrisham]

I'm so sick for Rico. Complete and utter incompetence from the refereeing team.

 

[super_city_si]

Our play out from the back is way too slow. Other than foden aswell we have no forward thinking passers in the midfield

Unfortunately TAA is forward thinking but about 20 yards too forward thinking

 

[Legal Alien]

Hope Rico hasn’t got a social media account.

Why? It was a bullshit call and fuck all he could do about it.

I think that was a makeup call for the penalty not given for the blatant push by Maguire.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Sir marcus will come on second half and save us.

Nah, Southgate will rest him, he's had his orders from the swamp.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Waistcoat will take Rico off at half time probably.

Nah.

He'll try and destroy his confidence.

Looks like Rico won't let him mind.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Effort Rico,Fuck off Dublin

 

[I'm Blue]

Rico and Phil showing there’s levels to this game.

 

[give it to gordon]

Unfortunately TAA is forward thinking but about 20 yards too forward thinking

Forgot TAA was playing

 

[Combat Carl]

TAA not a midfielder, no movement from him whatsoever other than running in straight lines. Rico growing in confidence. They're playing City's system now.

 

[hertsblue]

Foden and Lewis easily the best 2 on the pitch so jo doubt 1st to be subbed

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Worse decision I've ever seen and there's been some shit ones.

Not sure it was worse than the Spurs Liverpool offside!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Waits for @BlueHammer85 opinion on that lol

Well, it’s not Southgate’s fault, other than playing a midget at fullback doesn’t work.

 

[MCFC1993]

Hope it's the end of the Alexander-Arnold in midfield experiment. Absolutely anonymous.

Lewis has been more involved in there and he's started left back.

 

[meeesh]

Sir marcus will come on second half and save us.

Just on last few deliveries of fish fingers to local orphanages, might be back for last 15

 

[discopop]

Why? It was a bullshit call and fuck all he could do about it.

I think that was a makeup call for the penalty not given for the blatant push by Maguire.

It doesn’t work like that though does it? He will get a coating and it will not be pretty.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Macedonia players running rings around Tront.

 

[Gray]

That referee should never officiate in another game as he is either incompetent or corrupt.

 

[super_city_si]

The ONLY football England have played has come when Lewis/Grealish/Foden combine.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Waistcoat will take Rico off at half time probably.

Wouldn't be a bad decision in truth. 18 year old gave away a penalty and booked on his debut. Yes it's never ever a pen but it's happened now, despite the fact hes been flawless, protecting him from a red on his debut would be one of the wisest things waistcoat has ever done.
