jellydog Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Aleksandar Kolarov has seven goals so far this season for Roma. The most goals by a defender in any top Europe league. This has been your Aleksandar Kolarov update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 20 players (including 3 goalies) travelled including oldman Kompany; jesus, Stones and Delph out (delph wasn't in the squad vs Newport yet no real news on him).

I'll take the lot. They need young English talent to replace the academy ones who have scarpered. Very odd strategy, and suggests they are getting close to breaking rules about the number of home-grown players in their squad. Nothing a couple of hundred million spondoolicks can't put right; but that puts them at peril of breaking Financial Fair Play rules. Woe is the lot of the multi-billionaire.

City may face the Welsh lad who jumped ship last month at Schalke tonight. Diaz and Sancho have also done a runner (yes I know Diaz is Spanish). 2 homegrown keepers were sold in the summer, leaving 3 non homegrown keepers in the first team squad. It is ironic that having practically given Hart away they may end up paying over the odds for his Burnley team mate Pope. You couldn't make it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellydog Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Just saw the highlights from last night. What a free kick from Sane ! Spectacular ! A big effort from the lads a man down. I'd agree with the handball on Otamendi but just. His second yellow was bullshit. Just ridiculous. Don't agree with Fernandinho's penalty. That Schalke <deleted> was looking to go down.

He didn't intentionally move his hand to the ball, he was trying to move it away. The Fernandinho one I'd have to agree with. Now VAR is around it's stupid to tug on a shirt or handle someone in the box. But yeah, he was looking for it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare they book Fernandinho ?! He's never committed a yellow card offense ! Seriously, I thought his contact was minimal with that falling Schalke lamer.

I was wondering at the time why the ref never looked himself to make his own decision. Turns out the pitch side monitor was broken!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 The Otamendi pen. Not for me (or Rio, lescott or Hargreaves but was a pen for the ex-ref in the studio). Ref apparently initially gave a corner until they appealed. For me Otamendi was trying to move his arm back behind his body. No penalty, no booking so would have been no red card. It all went wrong from that decision. Fernandinho penalty. Nastasic and Sane were both offside when they took the freekick. Dinho pulled on Sane who went down. According to ex-ref in the studio Sane wasn't active (offside) when pulled down. Still trying to get my head around that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Ive been on the side of VAR being introduced - like in rugby where you can see (and hear) the review on the big screen in the ground, but last night was so unclear what was happening and took too long. Ref couldn't even review his own decision due to faulty pitchside monitor and had to rely on others! Schalke colleague at work tells me there's been big problems with it in the Bundesliga and fans are unhappy with it. I still don't think after VAR they got all the decisions right last night. Long way to go until it works as well as in Rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
