Match Thread | Man City vs Nottingham Forest (23/09/23)

[M Gaudino]

Every adult in the ground knows that’s simulation and not a red card but Rodri has, by the letter of the law, given the ref an opportunity to send him off and he’s foolish in doing so.

No need to touch his neck, Gibbs-White is a **** for play acting and hope karma sorts him out in whichever way it sees fit.

The plus side (so long as we still win):

One game of the ban is a league cup match he would miss anyway.

A little enforced test is good for his long term viability anyway.

we actually dont have a clue how this side plays in a tough game without Rodri. He's never injured.

 

[M Gaudino]

maybe rodders just wants the rest he's always asking for

 

[Chi-town blues]

Probably did but that happens in every match. Can't react like that

true no excuse

According to radio commentary the forest player made a meal of it . Stupid to raise his hands .
Got Forest fired up now .

He made a dreadful meal of it. But it was brainless from Rodri.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Why take off Alvarez instead of Haaland? We need his defensive help!

 

[super_city_si]

He had his hand around Gibbs White's neck, never staying on after that.

 

[KingGeorge]

Pep putting up the defensive wall…

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

A fucking disgrace from Rodri.

Puts us in the shit for today.

And the next 3 games too. Including Arsenal away.

Stupid stupid Man.

Clear red. At least 3 games out. I take it Carabou counts towards that.

Yep, probably would have been rested for that anyhow
