Bredbury Blue Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 For MrBj Raheem Sterling yellow card v Swansea Pretty puzzling decision as Sterling was booked for simulation towards the end of the first half at the Etihad. The England man was picked out by a delicious ball from deep and as Lukasz Fabianski flew out to intercept, Sterling went over his legs.Mike Dean saw it as a dive but it looked an impossibly harsh call as there is no way Sterling was looking for a penalty. Verdict: Incorrect decision http://www.teamtalk.com/news/ref-review-mike-dean-under-spotlight-after-sterling-gaffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verdict: Incorrect decisionhttp://www.teamtalk.com/news/ref-review-mike-dean-under-spotlight-after-sterling-gaffe It probably didn't help his case when he chose to make the dive about ten seconds after contact. Referees spend ninety minutes with players trying to con them so when a dive, regardless of contact is done so appallingly badly don't start crying when the decision goes against you.

Bredbury Blue Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 His reaction didn't help his case, pretty sure he didn't appeal for a penalty though it looked like one but he did react to being booked after he'd received contact from the goalie and gone down. Didn't think Jasper Carrot refereed it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 How Man City can play Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero together within Pep Guardiola's philosophy http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/02/08/man-city-can-play-gabriel-jesus-sergio-aguero-together-within Good article but I'm not convinced Aguero fits Peps football as he's more of a solo operator upfront and he doesn't graft. Couldn't see Aguero playing at the tip of a diamond as he's a finisher not a technical footballer (could see KdB fitting in there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm extremely excited by Jesus. He's technical, skillfull, not one bit greedy, tough and a grafter. I really hope Pep can find a way for both him and Aguero to fit together. Aguero would be first choice in almost all of the European teams and for what he has done for us, I really don't want to see him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hey, guess who we had visiting us last night? Howard Webb and Mark Clattenburg. They refereed the kids football games where I live and then did a question and answer session at our clubhouse. I couldn't attend but my mates who went said it was a great evening and both where brilliant at answering questions. Wish I could have gone. Another one I couldn't make cos of work. Missed Keys and Gray last year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 You want / need a keeper and you have billions backing you, money always works and you need a PL keeper in my opinion so ask how much gets you de Gea Lloris Everyone has a price and those two are the best by far.

Bredbury Blue Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 de Gea, decent goalkeeper but...you know what. Lloris, decent goalkeeper but Spurs would rip us a big one if we put a bid in for him. Can still see City looking to bring back home Kasper. I haven't seen enough of our 3rd goalie, young Angus Gunn (Bryan Gunn's kid) to pass judgement but the club rate him highly. We do need a new decent goalie or two though.

Bredbury Blue Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 ^That's what I posted yesterday about Kasper. Think he'd suit Pep/us well. As a City junior he knows us well. Could be a good match for both parties. When we had to decide between Hart or Kasper, I think Hart got it based on physique - there was little to choose between them is my recollection.

champers Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 A rather accomodating referee tonight, don't you think chaps? I still think you would have won if Josh King's goal had stood, but you never know in football. What is going on with Fernandinho? CM, RB & now LB.

Bredbury Blue Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 To be honest, I agreed with the Sky commentator and Big Niall that the referee reffed it well and got all the key decisions right, but he was a bit quick with that yellow card. Keep it to yourself but Fernandinho will be goalkeeper vs Huddersfield at the weekend. He had a decent performance at LB last night, better than he did at RB the week before. Credit to wobbly willy. He actually makes a few saves and the sliding tackle last night was as good as any top defender's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Bournemouth gave us a tough game last night and were in it until the 2nd goal. Very impressed with Silva last night. Seem to be playing at a different speed to everybody else. Orchestrated most that was good, and injury-free these days seems back to his best. Getting a bit tired of all of this Aguero nonsense. Like all of the players he plays on merit not reputation. He scores lots of goals but he doesn't contribute as much to team performance as he should. Stick around and he'll get plenty of games. At the beginning of the season everybody was questioning Peps sanity in only having Iheanacho as back up to Aguero but suddenly Jesus has upped the stakes and now Aguero, Iheanacho, Nolito and Navas are all backups to Jesus, Sane and Sterling and that's the position we want to be in (7 vying for 3 starting places).

Keys and Gray were trying to slagg off the officials last night on beIN because they got the decision right. King pulled on Stones shirt and it was a foul. Correct decision. However, Keys and Gray analised it to enth degree as to how the ref and assistant ref could have seen it. Unbelievable sometimmes that pair are. As for Fernandinho. He's a great player to have in any side. He'll play wherever you want to put him and he usually plays well in any positiopn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Massive blow with Jesus out with metatarsal break for the season. He'd really kick started our season and had us believing. The only one happy will be Aguero. DAMN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
