Ederson is a poor goalkeeper hahaha.

Get in.

Actually glad the red card happened made it a game.

Thank fuck Forest can't score for shite.

Alti Fan doing Arsenal a favour again.

Saying that. At full time I thought that's why we're champions.

Hes just guaranteed hes ref for that game

 

[Keeper!]

If stones is fit he's a better option than anyone anywhere - not that i'm trying to take eccles blue corner...

Young Rico is a better fit, Nunes and Kovacic have also shown how poor he is technically.

If Stones is fit he is a better option than Philips.

Pep will never risk Phillips against arsenal. He’ll only be used for the carabao cup.

Well I can see from that performance why Pep hasn't trusted Kalvin with more minutes. Pretty dreadful performance from him - gave the ball away countless times, poor decision-making to take players on when a simple pass was the better option, looked slow as f**k, poor in the press. We need proper back-up for Rodri.

Stuart Pearce on our City live post match review plus the rest of the panel…..

Perhaps you then if you want to represent the panel? You cannot put your hands on the neck of an opposing player. What kind of Pandora's box are we hoping to open up if that's not a red?

Rodri is a brilliant player and we should expect better. He will learn from this and we will continue marching on.

Who wants to be the first idiot in this thread to say it wasn't a red

Yeah, i think we all know Rodri was daft, but let people have a vent anyway! Clearly forest are a bunch of shithouse cunts. Small town mentality n all that.

 

[nellyonthewing]

The Forest player was clearly mouthing off at Rodri but he should have just laughed it off.

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Did I miss something? Thought Phillips did well when he came on. Lost the ball a couple of times but there was no one to pass to. Made some good tackles and some decent runs. With 10 against 12 he helped keep the clean sheet. Don’t get all the criticism

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fuck all we can do about it now. Moment of madness from the big man. Anyway, we have bought well so should be able to fill the gap with a combination of Bernie/Phil and kova or nunes. Philips might get the cup game.

Brilliant game management by city. Scintillating first 30 min. Both goal taken well. Defended really well second half.

Test coming up over the next few games. Rodri absence will of course show being the world class player that he is. Get through the next few games and see how we look.

This.

Fair play to Pep. I think he saw it as an opportunity to get some defensive work in.
