Hopefully someone will send one to city to investigate these outrageous comments, their supposed to be impartial pundits not advocates of violence towards another player it’s absolutely disgusting what the bbc, sky, bt get away with enough is enough
 
No fouls conceded in a half is a remarkable stat but is anyone counting the number of times the ref plays advantage to City?

I'd love to see Ince try telling Kongolo or Billing that they weren't getting stuck in.
 
Paul Ince on MOTD2 last night pointing out that the Terriers never committed a foul in the first half last night and that they should be standing on our players ankles or leaving a foot in just to let our players know they're in a game. Our management should publicly call out MOTD2 for advocating teams should injure our players!

That's what I thought. A number of minor ones, but two more aggressive challenges which I'd have liked to see replays of to see whether they were as bad as the long angle suggested.
Vardy must be wondering whether he can have Marriner reffing every match.
 
What do they think they're doing, playing football? This is MMA.

Whatever happened to grabbing a shirt when you needed to foul? When did it become compulsory to get your studs into someone with your full body weight behind them?
 
So if you're being out-played you should be deliberately fouling the opponents. Great advice, old bean.

Is that how the scum almost got back in to the brighton game?
 
I know Pep and Arteta have said in the documentary that if we don't get the ball back in 5 seconds, 'make a foul' and we regain our shape - but I have absolutely no doubt that they mean a pull of the shirt, or obstruction etc...NOT as the good old English media seems to want players to do - standing on ankles, getting yellows, 'showing passion'


No wonder the national team is shit and will never amount to anything, if that's the level of expertise our kids are seeing from the top.
 
I actually get what they're trying to say though. To not be passive, to let the City players know they're in a game, and that physicality is part of it. But the way they keep phrasing it is silly.
 
Want to know why England have done terribly on the International stage over the years should listen to Murphy and Ince last night.

Advocating 'stepping on ankles' as a tactic in 2018.

Actually I agree, physicality is part of football and should remain so. I also think that these has-beens wouldn't know how to correctly word the difference between fouling and strength

Ince struggles to complete a sentence, so I wasn't surprised that he put it clumsily. Danny Murphy, whatever people might think of him, is bright and eloquent, should know better.
 
Loved the wide angle camera MOTD showed for the first City goal, which sky didn't use, everyone ran to Sergio when he scored and Fernie started to run then turned a round and sprinted to Ederson

Where on earth did MOTD drag Ince up from? Effing useless as a pundit.

Yes two or three went to Crazy Eddie after initialially going towards Aguero.
 
I know it’s a big ask, but let’s assume that the ref does his job. The player standing on ankles gets booked. He’s now walking a tightrope and one would assume, doesn’t want to risk fouling again. He pulls out of challenges. He’s now accused of lacking passion. He commits a second bookable and off he goes. Then, we’ve only won because of a sending off.
