You’re wrong. Which part of that was him losing concentration? The part where the ref called the captains over to talk? The part where he allowed arsenal to take the free kick whilst Walker was out of position?

Rubbish.Disagree, Walker messed up badly, he lost concentration and they took advantage.
I think Onana got it on about 62 mins last season at the Etihad.Their goalie was the biggest piss take. 70 minutes claims had cramp. The fuckers do fuck all for most of the game but stand there. Cramp my arse.
Snide bastards
He had plenty of time, he was telling his teammates to think, yet he was the one caught out, the ref gave him plenty of time.You’re wrong. Which part of that was him losing concentration?

The refs job is to allow the player to get back to his position. It’s not on the player to rush. He put his hands on his heads to tell the players to think, correct. That’s got fuck all to do with anything though so not sure what your point is.He had plenty of time, he was telling his teammates to think, yet he was the one caught out, the ref gave him plenty of time.

Yep, I saw that.
Going back to something I pointed out earlier in the thread, many outlets are focusing on whether it was “right to send Trossard off for kicking the ball away”, completely ignoring that Oliver would have have been perfectly justified in issuing a second yellow for the premeditated full-force barge in to Bernie’s back with absolutely no intention of playing the ball.
It’s like focusing reporting on the fact that a domestic abuser smashed their wife’s car after beating her.
It’s utterly bizarre, but also not surprising given the state of football reporting and the dependence of generating impressions and click-throughs for the outlets to stay afloat.
It’s a dangerous feedback loop that is only making broader discourse worse and worse, leading to people—even on here—trying to justify and rationalise players intentionally trying to get other players injured (i.e. battery) because they said something (which was restrained and rational) many months ago that hurt their feelings.

Very harsh. City fans always need a scapegoat.He had plenty of time, he was telling his teammates to think, yet he was the one caught out, the ref gave him plenty of time.
