I absolutely doubted. I texted my brother and said we were raising the white flag when I saw the lineup. But they held their own, we afforded Saka some rest, Martinelli is back. This is progress. And this win is so cathartic.

How is that not a card? Motherfucker didn't even go for the ball ffs

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Because English refs are allergic to giving second yellows to City players.

@MHPengwingz @sensiblepuffin i don’t understand the logic of the second yellow foul needing to be a worse foul to warrant a second yellow when we’re getting yellows for time wasting and then second yellow for not even a foul (tomayisu)

That's a Xhaka red card all day.

Yellow is fair though

coygsu@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

That's a red. Studs up on the ankle from behind.

Even Howard is saying it should be two yellows...

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Let's hope they make up for it in the second

Oliver has a UAE and Saudi connection. This is becoming very suspicious.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Tf was that tackle from Bilva, I'm so glad there's an actual card

Gingerrific@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Really gives us a strong presence in the midfield, and while he was expensive, it was worth every penny.

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

That's more like it Jorgi

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Will Partey come on at 60?

coygsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Very fishy officiating

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Martinelli with the slick dribbles

HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Playing well with this makeshift lineup

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

We performed admirably. Now we just need to bring the blasters out.

Half time sub Raya pls

sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I guess now we see whether Ramsdale's finger is actually broken, as well as whether Mikel was serious when he said he would treat keepers just like any outfield player

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I do think Rammers has an injury...because it's just too fucking odd at this point

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Can we sub out Raya?

@MHPengwingz @sensiblepuffin jorg has been good but looks like he’s done. Running with his head down; looks tired. Partey would be a good replacement
