Why would anyone in their right mind pass the ball back to Pope ? He has the worst feet & poorest kicking tech (of a moving ball) than anyone I’ve seen !
@BVause81 The officials missed loads; they were lost without VAR to help them out. They’re used to backing out of decisions then letting VAR correct any error.
Apologies spoke too soon, that’s the full set now. Handball in the box - Ref and Lino miss it. This is the worst performance from a set of Officials since we played ……no I’m not going to get myself into trouble 😎
So with no VAR: Just waiting for the ‘pundits’ to say players too reliant on it. What were the Officials doing ? It was a free kick, play compressed into final quarter of pitch. (Linesman’s) responsibility surely ?
Plus missed a red card tackle on Murphy.
Going with that man-to-man press, game after game is so demanding.
City played through it with ease.
Botman has looked horrible jumping into midfield. Got rinsed everytime.

SEVENTEEN TIMES he has been found to have breached the MPs code of conduct. 17 TIMES.
Please like and retweet if Reform UK's Nigel Farage should resign.

@onet18975@OfficialPDickov It shouldn’t have taken them so long to work that out !
Arm & foot behind Pope (therefore offside), also arm around Thiaw obstructing him. Easy to see this very quickly.
My take on tonight.
City to a man very comfortable on the ball.
If we set up to absorb pressure & give up possession, we must take the chances when they come - & they did come (Wissa & Woltemade). We still need to upgrade at GK.
I’m available to coach Pope in kicking a ball !!
