I halfway expect them to come out with baseball bats in the 2nd half so they can properly wail on Grealish

Ref is having a fucking laugh. Konate can do that but Jack can’t? I don’t like talking about refs, yes it’s a tough job but what a shitshow most of them are.

They did that in the reverse fixture….apparently the ref was letting the physical game go….until he wasn’t…and decided to book city for every tasty tackle.

I recall Bernie saying that at FT now.

Alti said letting fouls go so he disallowed Erlings goal but allowed the dippers to score when Sutcliffe did the same thing.

They are obviously terrified of Grealish, we need to get him the ball as much as possible and force the referee into giving cards.

If we keep letting 5+ minutes pass between fouls he’ll feel like he can keep letting them go.

Jack has been bang up for it. Our best player so far.

Walker for akanji. Ref has been utter shit, surprise surprise

 

[Bez]

How was DeBruyne offside around the 44th minute didn’t Gundogan’s shot deflect off Fabinho?

That's what I thought.

 

[vmsuhail]

Well played so far. Need to keep the intensity going.

 

[Don Karleone]

Decent first half, ref is a cheat

 

[Chi-town blues]

**** ref

 

[JDV]

Akanji has been a massive liability in this half
