Given that everyone at man city as well as football in general knows the fa, press, sky talkshite etc have it in for us why the fuck has rodri admitted he's learning to do tactical fouls to help the team on espn. The echo are running a story on it now bringing it to the attention of all refs and everyone else we won't even get 50/50 challenges in our favour now sometimes you just need to know when to button it.

Oh fuck! The “secret” is out!!! HAHAHA!

Thing is everyone does it,it's a tag that only we have been labelled with by ratboy and tyler,they know what they are doing and it's done it's job,maybe rodders thinks that is the name for it in this country,it will get twisted though,pep should say every dm including himself has done it,that is a dm's job then never answer a question about it again

Everyone does do it, but it's not something that should be discussed in public.

He doesn't actually say tactical foul, he says tactic for when.

Tactic for when what?

He doesn't actually say tactical foul, he says tactic for when.

He actually says ...he is still learning when to stay , when to move , when to make a tactical foul...around 3:15 ...its not a case of lost in translation.

*awaits 6 month ban for saying tactical foul and bringing the game into disrepute*
I assume the fa panel will convene today.

Every referee in the league knows how we play by now, and that when we lose the ball we have a policy of "win it back or foul trying". They aren't going to be influenced by the liverpool echo 4 years into Pep being here and there's not been a noticeable increase in the number of fouls we concede after tactical fouling became a hot topic last season.

Not just us Dom, I would suggest every competitive team does it, but we are City, so it will be blown out of all proportion as things generally are concerning us

Tactical fouls have been existence for decades, the Italians are masters of it, and nothing wrong with it either.
PS I wish Pep would teach Otermendi the art properly and we may not be so vulnerable at the back.

Since Pep arrived we have had the media bang on about our tactical fouling. Rodri has hardly let a key tactic slip in conversation. Arteta spoke about it in TV series watched by millions.

We don't get decisions no matter what, this isn't anything new.
