interesting. this game is set up for chelsea now. they really ought not allow city any chances. couldn't be better. KDB limps off, ref will blow up for any flops, chelsea back line can sit as a 5.
fernadinho fouls mount again wide. deliberate holding. mount won't go down. dean waves play on and advantage is fouled again a minute later another wave of play on.
He didn’t touch him though. So it was a nothing incident. What next, player stares at opponent in a threatening manner shocker?
here is where HIA is required. Rudiger has faked that a bit just in case he is in trouble to assure ref will stop game. he will get up having faking a head injury and have no impact. He wasn't to know ball was headed harmelessly out for a throw.
ref has finally gotten round to quietly booking fernandinho, i presume the bbc were too busy watching subs and head injury fakery to notice it.
and the time wasting begins. City losing this is overall great. a quadruple imo is an awful vista for english football. Particularly as city have not been actually that good going forward compared to other years but are defensively strong finally. It is tempered by the fact that oil clb 2 is going to the final but at least the other semi final as a couple clubs that might at least make a cup final story if nothing else. I'd even consider cheering for spurs in a couple weeks (just about, maybe.)
Wow talk about cynical. Azpi takes out foden. Ref gives nothing so he decides to go even heavier next time and tags the kid. Finally a yellow 2mins later apzi flips about and wastes some time and gets a city player a yellow. Dean is a joke.
Zouma now faking head injury and gets another player booked but wastes nearly 2 mins and are endorsed by the commentator
Fairly happy with that (as much as you can be when your team isn't involved) First off City wont be winning a Quad Chelsea now have another game to distract them (players wont want to get injured) along with the CL semis and potentially a final (again players might want to avoid injuries) Also Chelsea looked tired as ****, so them having these extra games is going to put pressure on the squad.
Tonight's game is the one type I find most annoying when we have to play them. The one where the **** team raises its game.for 90mins in a vain glorious effort as they will be relegated if they lose. You know if you got them the week before or after you could plough them under. Have wolves got what it takes to beat the awful sheff utd?
Lfc run in Leeds away. Monday Newcastle home sat 24th april 12:30 (horrible) Man utd away sat 1st May 3pm Southampton home sat 8th may 3pm West Brom away Tuesday 11th may 8pm Burnely away sat 15th may 3pm Palace sun 23rd may 4pm The west brom.game is the only.one needing any changes etc. The first 11 should be able to power through now. Examples. Newcastle tails are up but they are all but safe now. Utd have to play roma the thursday before we play. I expect our game to move to sunday. West brom travel to arsenal before playing us. They in theory could be down before meeting us as they are already 9 points from safety. They simply also cannot afford a draw. They have to offer something even if it's a game plan on the break.
I'm now waiting for the articles claiming Citeh are in crisis after losing their last 3 games. Or how Pep has direspected the FA Cup by making 7 changes.
I almost like the look of the arsenal side bar the left back position. I personally think martinelli is a player of huge potential and with saka and smith rowe it could be a good line up behind lacazette.
