On the latter, aside from IMO it not even being a foul rather a dive under "six of one, half a dozen of the other" contact (otherwise why didn't he go down under similar contact before he was in the box aside from trying successfully to buy his team a penalty), the absurdity of the rule around "Denying a clear goalscoring opportunity" now is that in the penalty area it isn't a red card unless it is felt the player is making no attempt to get the ball.
Thanks for clearing that up.
I think the problem is we all know that this team is capable of winning games and playing some really good football, but when the pressure comes on to be more competitive and grind out a result then the outcome is usually predictable. We are crying out for leaders who can change things when they are needed... The problem is that PT seems to dislike confrontation and when he is faced with it, he normally becomes defensive. They say, a team is a reflection of its manager and it was never more the case than with City. We need a balls out nasty person on the pitch and probably in the dugout, who takes it personally when we lose and will do anything to prevent it.
Completely unnecessary and more liable to injury, I reckon.
Mmm not so sure on that one a bit of 'nasty' is pretty useful. who was the last one we had ? noble could hand it out when needed , but others ?
Now that made me smile
