Davies still on. Surprising that.

 

[everton2004]

The boys out on the pitch nice and early.....waiting. Nice little mind game that one.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Sterling on.

 

[hktoffee]

So not taking players with a yellow off?

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Stop crying Pep.

 

[Neiler]

Wtf Sterling coming on as wing back, has Pep lost it.

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Haha go on Dunc

--------
Pep Guardiola is furious, flinging his arms in the air.

The Manchester City players are not happy with the Everton bench because it was Duncan Ferguson who sprinted to the fourth official.

It probably wasn't a yellow card but it was a silly thing for Kyle Walker to do just after he was booked.

He's not looking at the ball, he's looking at the man. That's probaly done for him. There's no elbow raised by Walker, it is his shoulder.

Of course it wasn't an elbow, if it was he would have got a straight red, regardless of the yellow he already had. It's a professional foul to prevent DCL getting behind him, and had it been his first yellow, no-one would have argued it.

Stop moaning Pep

 

[gonetomorrow]

The official's getting a pep talk.

 

[maccavennie]

COYB!!!

 

[heatmeiser]

Why are people banging on about that challenge not being a sending off?

It wasn't a sending off, it was a yellow card.

 

[toffeejack]

city spend thousands on state of the art new changing rooms to give pep better access to talk to his players at HT


... pep does HT team talk in the tunnel.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Pep has made his feelings on that red abundantly clear to the refs, mad having any booked players on the pitch now.

 

[SawyerPip]

Who else stands to win a lot of money if we win this? Me poor heart.

I've got a pound on Rooney scoring and a 1-0 win at what I thought was a crazy 170/1.

 

[evilwebby]

We're currently 55-60 to win the league.
Worth laying that.
