Match Thread | Man City vs Brentford (12/11/22)

[East Level 2]

I know what VAR claim, but there are some decisions that leave me baffled.

They leave many of us baffled. Especially when the ref and VAR both seem unable to follow the wording in the laws of the game.

 

[Keeper!]

Brentford look like they could score at any time with the pace they have.

Pace, they have big physical players up front, and our CB's can't or won't handle it

 

[FantasyIreland]

murdered or injured

Either way he'd be about as much use as a paper fire guard.

Brentford deserve their goal but City really fought back. Hopefully we get the win at full time

 

[ManCityGR!]

His left foot is on the white line. And his body is leaning towards left so it's damn obvious the hand is above the white line. So it's inside, so it's a penalty.
That was another robbery plain and simple.

Philips would get murdered out there today.

We need Rodris height

 

[Gazza]

If Stones hadn't rushed back in, Toney would've been offside.

They'd have just used an earlier frame of the action.

Yet again more blatant cheating by those running our game. Laporte being wrestled to the ground was the most clear cut pen I have ever seen and that barely got looked at. And as for there being no evidence of this being inside the box? Well they've just clearly given up trying to not look bent and they obviously don't care any more.

To be fair, it looks like his elbow is in line with his foot which is outside the box.

What about when we lose games. Do they get it right then?

Yes. Being a good coach is not about winning every game, it’s about doing things that make your team win more often than not.

This is why Guardiola always talks about success being process driven not outcome driven.
