Think the non sending off of David Luiz created the resentment felt by our players and lead to our indiscipline.Suddenly Taylor found he did have a red card.

Not only that, but Taylor stood by and allowed the frustrated City players to become aggressive. He is supposed to step in and diffuse situations. He never does that with us. He always watches things develop, hoping they will get out of hand and he will have the opportunity to issue red cards to our players.Think the non sending off of David Luiz created the resentment felt by our players and lead to our indiscipline.Suddenly Taylor found he did have a red card.

Fabregarse, as I recall, slapped Ferny which prompted him to shove him into the hoardings, and some big black guy threw Sergio to the floor. What Taylor did was send off two of ours when he should have sent four off, all for violent play!I mean, Aguero put a full set of studs straight into David Luiz's knee at full pelt (probably the worst tackle I've ever seen from a City player) and Fernandinho pushed Fabregas over the advertising boards. Think it's fair enough that they were both sent off.
We were just desperately unlucky in that game and not a lot of it had to do with Taylor. I remember De Bruyne missing an open net from about five yards (which would have made it 2-0 and killed the game) and Otamendi going walkabout for every Chelsea goal.

I'm trying to positive about Alti rag **** on Sunday.
Chelsea's fans hate him more than we do. So he MIGHT officiate fairly.

Yeah have to agree,only problem I had was the persistent fouling from Gallagher he could have been booked 4 or 5 times for some of the fouls..Can't fault Taylor today. He was fair in his decisions and not swayed by the crowd. Our penalty would not have been given by many.
Fair point but considering the shit we have had, being lenient on Gallagher is minor.Yeah have to agree,only problem I had was the persistent fouling from Gallagher he could have been booked 4 or 5 times for some of the fouls..

Taylor was inconsistent with his bookings Caciedo Gallagher Sterling had license to foul Sterling should have been booked and the fouls at the end on Phil was very orange Got big decisions right Not his fault for our performance though

Despite what the media and upset rival fans will say, that Haaland penalty decision was spot on.
Cucurella instigated the contact and at no point did he let go, until he'd pulled down Haaland. Yes, Haaland did briefly grab on, after Cucurella did, but he let go unlike Cucurella.
