Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [1st - 5th December 2016]

I'm just gonna ignore the fact it wasn't even a penalty to begin with as Lansbury is already going down, but how is it a red card?

Last man innit

 

[jamie2497]

The last man rule was changed wasn't it? No longer an automatic sending off.

 

[No1newts]

Lansbury cheating then has the front to complain about getting booked for a clear foul.

Loathe that little ****

 

[No1newts]

Pass to Diame!

 

[No1newts]

Hopefully the ref will be sacked, complete and utter shambles.

 

[Fulax]

Should've let Darlow go forward.

 

[nemtizz]

If there is any justice in the world Lansbury and the ref will crash into each other on the way home.

The ref would just call the police and say the Newcastle coach rammed him off the road and get the whole team banned for multiple games....... so you probably don't want that to happen

Really annoyed by last night.

We were created but putting that behind us that's 3 on the bounce we've lost now and everyone knows the championship is all about getting a good run. We need a win fast and hope this doesn't spiral any worse.

I was equally annoyed last night, and a strong run will e important going into the Christmas fixtures.

However, I'm not overly worried just yet.

One of those defeats was in a cup, not the league. We played three games in six days or whatever it was and team selection/rotation clearly reflected that.

I think we underestimated Blackburn, but especially against Hull and Forest, we were the better team. We just couldn't finish our chances of were done-over by the ref.

The biggest issue with last night is the suspensions we will face from the two red cards…

The team just need to rise above it and move on now.

 

[Cosimo]

Man City: Bravo, Otamendi, Stones, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Navas, Sane, De Bruyne, Silva (c), Aguero

Subs: Caballero, Sagna, Zabaleta, Clichy, Fernando, Toure, Iheanacho


Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso; Pedro, Diego Costa, Hazard

Subs: Begovic, Ivanovic, Aina, Chalobah, Oscar, Willian, Batshuayi


One change for Chelsea as Fabregas comes in for Matic.

 

[frankel1414]

Fabregas starting in such a big match is a surprise. When was the last time he played?

edit/

Cesc Fabregas makes his first #PL start since the defeat to Arsenal on 24 Sep

I think City will win 3-1.

 

[chroniclard]

hmm, both in blue....

 

[omnomnom]

Remember when everyone said Martinez was at fault for Stones being pants?

 

[nemtizz]

He's not pants just a little 'special'. His entire game is built on playing out from the back but he does it to a fault at times. It's almost as if he's trying to prove something.

 

[fez]

Did Cahill get a card for his foul on Aguero a minute ago?

 

[Cosimo]

Did Cahill get a card for his foul on Aguero a minute ago?

Don't think so and the foul on Moses went unpunished.

 

[Cosimo]

Lol offside.

 

[fez]

This game is so congested

 

[Purdy]

Hahahahaha haha, should never ref again
