I was livid about that, first it was just the one city player complaining then walker then another 3 with him, right in the refs face too. Tbh I was waiting for city to show the famous petulant version of city under pep. They've been allowed to pressure the refs for years in the prem and never get reprimanded for it. Bernardo is probably the best example, he had a few snide nibbles at Salah during the game til mo told him he was a dirty **** out loud after another sly nibble. I've seen it from them most times things aren't going city's way tbh Can't wait to see the passive aggressive rage coming from peps gob when I watch the press clips later, already got a screenshot of his face injuries after the last game so I can see how many new ones he has tonight This current crisis at city is something we should all be really enjoying together tbh
Im not fing enjoying it . lots and lots of sour Grapes because they took advantage of very rich owners . Time will tell if they are found guilty or not .
Taking out all the rage, City are not the only ones guilty of it. We see it way too often in games these days from a variety of teams. It's not just about the art of persuation even, it's also those friendly gestures before games, because it's all to gain a psychological advantage. I think as soon as the players enter the field of play, they should not be touching the ref for any reason, if they do they should be given a yellow card. As Pep would say 'it's business' so in my eyes you should remain professional in your conduct at all times, and part of that is not touching the ref. Today was an extreme example of why it needs to be stamped on, otherwise we are going to turn into a Serie A, and don't tell me Liverpool never do this, because I'm pretty sure they have. I think even the game before Chelsea v Aston Villa it was happening.
Remember when Stirling, playing for Liverpool, touched Howard Webb? I thought Webb was going to explode with the face he made..."How dare you touch me!"
I'm a stickler for that sort of thing with referees, it's a big no no. I see it as a sign of disrespect when they try and do it. And yes, that was shocking behaviour from City today, for me that was worse than losing 2-0, because it demonstrates you've lost control.
Your boys destroyed a poor Villa today, I'm relying on your lot to steal the Prem title now Bobby, Pep's history, it's now time for his lookalike Maresca.
Surprised we mugged you off for some of his wages. He's like 5th inl line for you guys and probably toxic for your dressing room
Credit has to go to fsg for that I think, they bent over backwards to get Edwards back and slot was essentially down to him. also credit to Klopp as it was him who had massive input into the new training facilities and bringing the academy along side the 1st team, it's very Barcelona like getting the youth teams set up identical to the seniors He was paying homage to our six European cups I think.
