Let’s hope Kovacic is fit to replace Rodri.
Phillips did nothing for me to have any confidence in him (again!)

its like he is scared to get involved. He was on for a whole half and I saw him carry the ball once.

I thought Phillips was fine yesterday, although he has clearly become the target for those who need a target, especially after the departure of Sterling and Mahrez

erits like he is scared to get involved. He was on for a whole half and I saw him carry the ball once.

After the sending off apart from one run from Phil just about nobody kept hold of or carried the ball. That was a whole team worry (i.e. that losing Rodri was like losing more than 1 player) and to lay it all at Phillips’ door is wrong. Some of you lot are like school bullies the way you need to single a player out, in fact many of you probably still are at school

Rodri received a push in the centre of his back that totally floored him, immediately prior to his sending off, Taylor completely ignored it. He also couldn't hide his sly smile as he showed Rodri the red card.

Whilst Rodri undeniably lost his cool and overreacted, it was partly because our players were frustrated at Taylor's failure to blow the whistle and protect them.

Is there any way the club can reasonably object to Taylor's appointment for future City games? He seems to subtly and consistently shaft us.

Taylor had lost control in the first half and from then on it was downhill.
He doesn’t give fouls when he should and waves play on when he should be stopping play for a foul.
If he blows for the foul on Rodri he isn’t sent off.
Entirely predictable.

Names like Tory boys…..

Like Anthony Wedgwood-Benn?

 

[Asa's left peg]

I think the push in Rodri's back (and no free kick given, again) lit his fuse, more pushing in the back, in the corner and he was boiling nicely. I'm still not sure he lost it - just a miss judgment.
Let's face it, we were never going to rest him.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Rodri's hands never left his shoulders - MGW dropped to the floor like a sack of spuds faking throat contact - a well known trick from p 41 of The Cheats Manual.

He had him by the throat twice tbf
