Just ridiculous feels like we've been shafted by the new rules more then any team, i'm sure De Zerbi's rants don't help but we get more cards for back chat and time wasting then we do for actual fouls these days.

I haven't seen any clips of it just from what I saw he argued with him got a yellow, muttered something under his breath and walked away and then got whistled back for what looked like a straight red.

Huge win as I said before this game we needed the 3 points here to kickstart the season heading into the winter period.

At least Dunk got a bit of a rest towards the end of the game but have no clue what he's done to deserve a straight red or 2 yellows for dissent it's so rare even when players keep arguing.

Weird to see Van Hecke of all people trying to calm the team down towards the end.

I miss when Solly March was the top scorer.

Didn't play that well for England when he got a chance but Bowen has surely got to get another shot with two qualifiers that don't mean much.

Already a controversial game where the refs decisions will be talked about more than the performances.

Palmer should have a red, Rice should be on a yellow and whilst I think it was a penalty I'd imagine people will disagree with that.

Wank in the first half, been crap every time Milner plays it's no a coincidence we came into the game when he was off.

A lot of poor performances in general but overall 2-1 loss away at City and managed to get them a red card not awful the injuries are more concerning given this game was a write off.

Now 5 games without a win so hopefully that changes against Ajax the schedule is a bit easier going forward now in the league.

Needs the game time honestly, even if it's a tough game that's how you get better.

They were rumoured but with Doku now there, I can't imagine they'll bother.

Worrying trend with players signing and then leaving in the summer but glad it's secured anyway especially with the recent Barcelona rumours.

I agree the competitiveness seems to be really strong at the moment, the massive increases in foreign TV revenue (which I believe is split equally amongst the clubs) has meant almost all sides can spend a fair bit, pick up good players from across Europe and actually be competitive regularly against the big clubs and not just win a scrappy counter attacking game.

I think there's an argument to be made about splitting domestic revenue even more equally then it already is considering the big clubs don't rely on that money at all and it would help the teams lower down the table a lot. But i'm also biased in that situation.

Really would depend on the % but yeah some clubs would be fucked, Ironically I believe Palace are one of the worst when it comes to Wage/Revenue

More sustainable to have a wage cap, assuming it's a percentage of revenue, and they'd still be able to outspend their peers on the continent because of the much larger revenue overall.

I believe UEFA is talking about bringing one in as well.
