Considering what Taylor let go, including no RED for the two footer on Rodri’s standing leg by Thiago, it’s a joke that he disallowed the goal…but he can hide behind the letter of the law, so that’ll be the end of it.
That said, we got exposed on the counter, yet again, and Cancelo proved he’s not a defender, yet again.
They were up for a FIGHT and played with the gloves off. We jabbed all day long and never really threw punch.
Glad that’s behind us. Now, Pep can go back to playing like we normally play!!
We’ve lost ONE game all season, which is as good as anyone in all 4 divisions, but it had to be this one! Such is life.
Too many players not at the races today, including KDB and Foden. Some of that has to do with the snapping tackles they had to encounter early doors, but you can’t let ANYONE dominate you in a game, esp when you’re those two players.
Have learned to hate the Dippers and their fans and their manager and their “halo” more than any other club in my life. They are a despicable group that deserve each other.
City just need to wash this off in the showers and Pep needs to understand where he (and the play formation) fall apart against them, so we don’t CREATE something that isn’t there anymore. We beat them on paper, on players, on stats, but certainly not in fight or speed of play. They were first to everything and didn’t give the playmakers a second all game.
Onwards and upwards.
