I know it hit his leg but what’s his arm doing there? Preventing Bertrand getting the ball, that’s what. He really is a big team ref isn’t he? Absolutely shocking, the sooner the arrogant twat retires the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 I only got a single look, but was it not handball when it bounced off Sterling's leg to his arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 Looking ahead I feel we don’t get anywhere near as much out of Bertrand than we do KWP. I think he’s dropped off quite a bit, he ignores his winger, rarely gets any crosses in and is often at fault for goals against. I think we need a better LB and someone better than Walcott/Armstrong/Djenepo/Redmond. Redmond is finished, he’s just not void enough on or off the ball. He killed us when he came on. Djenepo was poor today but had just made his best contribution of the match before making way for Redmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 That was a pretty good performance against the most expensive team, who naturally had the quality to have beaten us all ends up, but didn't. McCarthy didn't have much to do apart from a very good tip over. We had our chances, but it didn't help having Ings off injured and whereas City can bring on players of Mahres's stature, we brought on our two youth team strikers towards the end. However, Walcott did very well up top too, although Redmond made a few errors when he came on for Djenopo. Vestergaard as MOTM can't be far away from a January offer from Liverpool. He was immense once again, with three or four incredible diagonal balls. My only niggle, is that towards the end we were too slow to get the ball forward, preferring to pass it around the back, when the only way to score an equaliser was by getting it forward. I imagine that City were delighted that we played it around in our half running the clock down. Overall though, we gave a very good account of ourselves. Pre-match, the pundits declared that having two in midfield against City's three would mean that we would be overrun, but we weren't. As usual, we hunted in packs and prevented them playing their passing game for most of the match. Disappointing to lose, but proud of our achievement.
