Nottingham Forest (H) | Sat 23rd Sept | PL | Post Match Thread

Video of the game is now on the website, including the sending off. Rodri was apparently red carded for grabbing Gibbs-White by the throat, but if you watch the footage it's clear that Foden actually made that contact, not Rodri. The rest was handbags and GW should be embarassed when he watches it back. So the sending off was ridiculous PLUS how can the VAR not see that when he watches it back ??11

If this is true then we should appeal it and should win the appeal

Imagine supporting that shit week in week out. Sooner they plummet to where they belong the better. They truly are fucking awful.

The way he came on and wound their players up was superb, it's a huge asset he has.

But he got a silly booking too

Interesting, great spot. Looks like one arm up from Phil and not Rodders

It was a crazy chain of events.

- Rodri makes a stupid movement with his hands
- Foden pokes Gibbs in the throat
- Gibbs goes down on Foden touching him
- Ref interprets it as Rodri throttling Gibbs
- Ref gives a red to Rodri
- VAR doesn't overturn it because they had a couple of stills of Rodri putting pressure on Gibbs' throat with his right hand

If Ref doesn't give a red then VAR would not have called it either.

However, this could have been avoided by Rodri not reacting.....

Well, Foden would take the suspension for the raised hands under mistaken identity.

Didn’t we ‘belong’ there once?

Nunes, Kovacic and Rodri, FFS that could be very special

We have the 2 best strikers in the league (and Alvarez is top 10 in the world)

We have the 2 best midfielders in the world in KDB and Rodri.

We have

You're spot on.
It's one thing to play great football and win consistantly, but dealing with cloggers is another thing entirely.
We've got the best squad ever assembled in the prem, the only weakness is we aren't aggressive enough. Let's see some arrogance, test those reffs, let them send one off, we still win.
Fuck em

Look at the first 2 goals, absolutely champagne football, then when the going gets tough down to 10 men we just shut the whole game down. Eddie didn’t make a save until stoppage time, he was so well protected, but then he made 2 excellent ones when called on.

I don’t think any PL team has ever had both skill and grit to the level this side has, and with half a dozen key players injured too.

You sound like a rag to be honest. They probably belong in the premier league.

Don’t forget where we came from
