That is an unbelievable decision. All ball. Barely even made contact with The attacker. Where was the VAR review of Sterling’s stomp on Raphina’s ankle. So corrupt.

Is it the right decision? Definitely not for me. Wins the ball cleanly and then goes through the player...strong but fair tackle...game has gone soft
I don’t agree with you, even though he won the ball, not even sure about that because Jesus had a tiny touch om that, this was dangerous, could have destroyed his knee totally here. Why on earth did he that? Was no need for that.

Agree...but it was an idiotic tackle from Cooper - like someone already said, probably cost us the game.

Was almost going to be a perfect half. They do have plenty of class on the movement off the ball is excellent, but we had defended brilliantly and scored a peach of a goal.

Unfortunately the decision was correct. It does not matter that Cooper connected with the ball first. The challenge was high and he went studs first in the City player leg around the knee.

Idiotic from Cooper imo, you cant go in with that much force anymore and he did catch Jesus high.

Why take Bamford off though? Why not Roberts?

Costa has done well, we have done well really and had chances of our own as have city.

Such a shame that Cooper let us down(and how he hasnt given away a pen with all his shirt pulling is a miracle)

City players are soft tbf, falling over a lot.

Ridiculous decision. Cooper took all ball. Momentum of Jesus flying in caused the contact

Cooper was lucky not to cost us a penalty pulling on Stones' shirt during a corner.

It was obviously a red for me. Studs just above the knee with force. Rash. Needless.

We have to stop man for man now, and be more defensive.

Absolutely no need to play the same way we usually do, you must adapt to situations and if MB doesnt that wont be good enough or admirable.
