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

I wish I had a tenner for everyone that said Ake should have played.

Ake should have played. Have a pint on me :-)

 

[Gazza]

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.

They'd have given an offside with that amount of evidence.

Their goal gets worse each time I see it. Akanji and Laporte getting done on a goal you’d see at an U9s game.

Yes, agree. There’s a few on here want to blame Stones for it though. Concerning for me was the two cross field passes later in that half where Cancelo got easily beaten aerially too. I think Brentford will continue with the aerially attacks this half.

Whats with all the fooking thongs on bluemoon?

G strings everywhere...

He has to switch Stones and Akanje around

We've got this. They won't keep getting lucky in their box.

He stayed on his feet then threw himself to the ground if he'd gone down straight away it would of been a pen but his actions showed there wasn't enough contact to impede him and its a contact sport.

You could also argue the defender bumped him with no attempt to play the ball

We are the only side to get 95+.....

Oh and Liverpool, but they lost remember!!!?

Have you erased 19/20 from your mind entirely?

 

[SidJames]

Hopefully Brentfod dont catch us cold second half.

They will come out at speed try and get a 2nd goal to defend for the next 40 minutes.

I hate those kind of pens anyway. Brush past someone and get a pen.
Clearly if it's in the last min and we need a goal I'm screaming for it but overall I just think it leads to loads of shit decisions and players throwing themselves around.
