He got sent off because Chelsea dive & City stay on their feet. His first booking was a fucking joke. The second was a foul & probably worth a booking, but a few minutes earlier, Devante Cole ran through, Chelsea defender tried to bodycheck him, advantage played, then he gets into the box, Chelsea defender flies in & catches him, nowhere near the ball, stays on his feet, no pen, no card for the other Chelsea defender.
Throughout the game City players were pushed under the ball, tripped etc etc, all they di was wave their arms at the ref, got fuck all, the other way around, Chelseaplayer hits the deck like he's been shot, every challenge, every fucking time; free kick.
If you don't cheat, in a game v this kind of team, you don't win; even at this level.
On another note: I don't get Horsefield. He's local, is that it ?
Following on from the Senior Cup game v the scum where the difference was all about them being older/more physical and fouling.I was incensed by the Cole one where maybe the Chelsea players did just enough for the reef to give nothing but plenty to stop Cole scoring.
Facey was a little naive to commit the 2nd booking knowing he already had a yellow irrespective of the fact that the first one was a joke.I thought the ref got sucked into bookings even though I am not so sure he knew exactly what had happened.The 2nd one probably was a booking as Shay had allowed the guy to get the run on him and he just held him back.
As for Horsfield that's 2 games in a row now where he has come on and been invisible.He just lacks the quality we need but will get serious game time because so many of the best EDS players are going out on loan.Still though I think we have better players coming through who should get the game time.
Good to see Gunn play well last night but I really do like the look of Maffeo.Not sure he's a centre half but I guess Patrick is giving him the experience of playing there. Strange though as Bossaerts is more of a centre half and Maffeo a full back.That's if Boss is anything at all because he hasn't looked impressive wherever he has played for me. Angelino is looking ok considering his age but has to get better at the defensive part of his game.
Wasn't there talk of Cole going on loan to the SPL? Maybe that's just what he needs but he is definitely getting better and better.His final ball/shot still needs plenty of work but the threat he poses is there for all to see.
