Breaking: “that should have been a straight red card” – Man City star calls for Anthony Taylor suspension for allowing Arsenal player to get away with tactic he ‘didn’t understand’ How can he say something like that.
The Blues defender voiced his frustration with Arsenal’s tactics and criticized their game plan, emphasizing the need for consistent officiating. He pointed out incidents, like Kai Havertz’s late tackle on Stefan Ortega, which he believed deserved a yellow card, questioning the referee’s judgment.
He stressed the importance of enforcing the rules, especially regarding clear yellow card offenses, citing another situation involving Jorginho where he felt a second foul went unpunished. Despite contentious decisions, he acknowledged the team’s responsibility to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
Acknowledging Arsenal’s disruptive tactics, which often impeded City’s attacking momentum through tactical fouls, the defender lamented the lack of decisive intervention from the referee. Despite failing to secure all three points, he remained optimistic about City’s prospects in the ongoing title race.
The draw places City in third position, trailing Arsenal by one point and league leaders Liverpool by three points following their victory over Brighton. Looking ahead, the defender and his teammates are focused on their upcoming match against Aston Villa, led by former Arsenal manager Unai Emery.
Despite the setback against Arsenal, City remains determined to maintain their title aspirations and continue competing at the highest level.
