The Beautiful Game
Striker
It’s an unconscious bias. The likes of silva asking for a foul swayed him more than mundle or cirkin. Then he’d give them a cheeky wink and pat on the back. In awe of them.You can argue all you want about fouls given, not given etc but if was biased surely he'd find a way for Man City to win the game?
I’m fine if a ref wants to let the game flow (think Leeds was like that) so long as it’s consistent across the game for both teams. They got several soft decisions which even the sky commentary pointed out, which is very unusual, despite him letting a lot go elsewhere. As others have said, allowing encroachment etc for city and not us.
No one thinks he’s out to get us, but somethings influencing his decisions and I can only think it’s starry eyes.
