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

To be honest we could deal with missing Foden for 3 games a lot easier than Rodri

 

[BillCarlisle]

BBC Sport "Rodri was shown a straight red for violent conduct after putting his hands around Morgan Gibbs-White's throat as they tangled near the corner flag, with VAR upholding referee Anthony Taylor's decision."

"Gibbs-White waited before throwing himself to the ground theatrically after they had clashed but, regardless of his reaction, Rodri deserved his fate for raising his hands and grabbing him around the neck."

Only one hand though

Could be we haven't heard the last of this.

Gibbs-White went down quicker than a 10 quid whore on Chorlton Street.

I’m not sure we can get Rodri off the hook.

Not even with discrimination against tall people? Rodri was clearly just trying to embrace Gibbs whilst pleasantly sorting out the situation.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Agreed. But still a bit amateurish to react the way he did, literally nothing to gain from doing it. Baffles me when players do it.

Agreed . Rodri should’ve chocked the **** harder .

City has employed top legal firm Stones, Boulder and Stones to appeal the Red card and prove beyond reasonable doubt that ickle Edgeley Phil was in fact the guilty party and not Dyno-Rod

Rodri should've had the foul twice, well before the set to. Gibbs White was at him, with no intention of getting the ball.

Old Chinese proverb say, "You can only poke a Tiger so many times before it strangles you and gets red card"

Foden was just rolling up his undershirt to try and take the blame.

Perhaps Gibbs broke into his house. It is funny though. I wonder how Duncan Ferguson would fair against modern refereeing standards and VAR.
