just dropping in to say i thought it probably was a red in this thread after getting pelters in the match thread

all the arguments we dismissed from Liverpool fans about Mane v Ederson (momentum, he went for the ball, intention, wasnt looking at him) can be applied here.

Lewis didnt need to have his foot bounce up and studs out like it did, he could have brought it away. he chose not to and it was reckless and dangerous.

I agree and as soon as I saw it happen live I said the same.
It was even more cringey to watch him pleading with the ref and 'asking questions'
You've been sent off, just get off, all he did was embarass himself.

And yes, I'm no fan of Lewis.

The vast majority of Wydad fans were US based Moroccan folk, very few would have travelled from the home country.
And as much as some of our fan base are the “Let’s Go City” type, last night at the Philly supporters club event, there was about 10 or so of us old school blues sat in the corner. Only 2 had an official City shirt / merchandise on. Where as the let’s go City types were decked out in official club gear. They may be mocked but they are pouring millions into the club where as I certainly am not doing so…….

And some of them are better than a lot of "home made' Blues.
Spoke to a young lad and his girfriend at the City supporters do last night, they hsd driven from Detroit, 10 hours!

I not sure they better in any way

I know loads of ‘home made’ blues who do 5 hour plus journeys to a game and then back again the same day, midweek, early Saturday and Sunday etc in all weathers

Not just once on a big trip because a tournament has landed in their country

Indeed. We like to pride ourselves as being great fans. Stuck by the club when we went down to the third tier, never been afraid to laugh at ourselves, great sense of humour (the whole banana/inflatables craze) etc etc. But it's one of our less desirable traits that a section of our fanbase do love to target players for abuse. Some of the stuff posted on here sickens me. What do these "fans" hope to achieve by dishing out abuse to a 20 year old? It's ba

We all wax lyrical about Maine Rd but it was also well known for turning on our own players at times.
The shit Edghill got was fucking appalling

It goes further back. I remember Neil Young getting some stick as well.

The two incidents you’re describing are entirely different. Rico’s tackle was actually perfect. It was just unlucky that the momentum and collision with the opposition player led to his boot flicking up.

Really soft red card, but that’s football now.

It's fashionable to knock blues that are local these days, we are getting as bad as the rags and scouse which is everything we hated.

I've given up on knowing what is a red card and what is not, so I can't agree or disagree with the red card, but one thing was it was nothing like Manes challenge on Ederson.

first half only felt like a really competitive game and first half we been good. Few proper chances bar goals (Omar, Foden, Ake), harsh conditions, Reijnders looks a real quality, Cherki as well (not everything worked for him but he had few good showings, like a pass to Foden when Foden should have scored. But Foden today is another good news. Unfortunate performance for Reis, but he could and need to be better

It was quite concerning that a very average team caused us the same type of problems as team did last season.

Thankfully they didn’t have the quality to capitalise but we won’t get away with that against prem sides.

I hope it was just the heat

We also won’t be playing that line up
 
Boring cunts complaining about 'borefest' bore off.

Match was very entertaining and good to see several new lads, and seasoned ones coming back and showing hints of the future.

Foden's goal was after almost two minutes of posession, only opponents touch was their goalie parry; colombian narrators were very impressed with our lads "monologue".
And no, it is not a preseason "friendly" it is the fucking clubs world cup, which we happen to be the fucking holders.

Get in!

Not worth responding to mate. He’s already said that he said the same earlier and got pelters, so clearly doing it again to get responses.

Manes put his foot at head height and caught Ederson in his head (shockingly). Mistimed, yes. But also dangerous because he intended his foot to be at head height, we’ve seen numerous overhead kick attempted be given as fouls for the same reason. And he kicked Ederson in the face

Rico put his foot at the height of the ball and won the ball, and then his opponents leg bounced it up and he caught the opponent

Not comparible IMHO
 
First time ever seeing City in a tournament All I know about tournament football is it’s about building momentum. Reach the peak at the right time.
Let’s hope we pull this off - it will be awesome!
UTB!
 
Only on Bluemoon could passing a team to death, tiring them out, constantly probing, keeping possession, winning trebles etc now be construed as boring by our own resident no nowts. Not just tonight - but this lazy, unanalytical, ignorant bullshit has pervaded many a thread recently.
Might as well want rid of Guardiola, that's how much you clearly understand him.
Just fck off.
