🚨 Ref cam captures the heated exchange between Meunier, Rogers and the referee after Rogers appeared to catch Hume with his knee:
🗣️ Meunier: “Ref, he knows exactly what happened. Just look at him.”
🗣️ Rogers: “What are you talking about? I was simply walking past.”
🗣️ Meunier: “There’s an entire pitch to walk across, and somehow you chose the space where his head was?”
🗣️ Rogers: “He was getting back up as I was passing.”
🗣️ Meunier: “Well, yes. That’s generally what injured players try to do.”
🗣️ Referee: “Let him explain himself.”
🗣️ Rogers: “Thank you. I was moving through, he raised his head and we made contact. There was no intention to hurt him.”
🗣️ Meunier: “So now he’s being blamed for trying to stand up?”
🗣️ Rogers: “I never said that.”
🗣️ Meunier: “You don’t have to. Your explanation is doing enough talking.”
🗣️ Referee: “Calm down. We’re reviewing the incident.”
🗣️ Meunier: “Please check the angle from behind. He clearly sees Hume.”
🗣️ Rogers: “Of course I saw him. He was right there in front of me.”
🗣️ Meunier: “Exactly. That’s the point!”
🗣️ Rogers: “Seeing someone doesn’t mean you deliberately make contact with them.”
🗣️ Meunier: “True. But it should give you enough time to avoid them!”
🗣️ Referee: “Both of you, give me some space.”
🗣️ Rogers: “I was only trying to get out of the way.”
🗣️ Meunier: “Funny how you managed to get closer to him than the medical staff.”
🗣️ Rogers: “You’re exaggerating the whole situation.”
🗣️ Meunier: “The man was trying to get back on his feet, and your knee sent him straight back down. How exactly do you expect me to describe that?”
🗣️ Referee: “I need to listen to both sides before making a decision.”
🗣️ Meunier: “Then ask yourself one question: did he really have no other way around him?”
🗣️ Rogers: “You can’t give someone a red card for every bit of contact in football.”
🗣️ Meunier: “Every bit of contact? How many more players were you planning to walk over today?”
🗣️ Referee: “That’s enough. Both of you, walk away.”
🗣️ Meunier: “Me or him?”
🗣️ Referee: “I said BOTH of you!”
🗣️ Meunier: “Fine. But at least let Hume get back on his feet first.”
This is just the problem Anderson is been forced to operate as 6 and 8 while Enzo is so high up dragging number 10 position with cherki... Play bouadi ffs!!
The only solution to City's problems is is simple bench Enzo Fernandez because he offers absolutely nothing to the team,
We've never lost a game with a midfield of Bouaddi, Cherki and Anderson. We could easily be top of the table ahead if arsenal with that midfield, but Maresca would rather prioritise his favourites over the club. #MCFC
Chelsea need a goal and Xabi Alonso's solution is to bring on 19-year-old Estêvão to do what exactly? And people actually rate this man's tactical ability? Pure cluelessness.
Firstly I thought city are going through a lot until I met Chelsea 😂😂
Maresca 10games = 3loses 7wins
3rd on the table
Xabi 10games = 4loses 5wins 1draw
5th on the table
There’s level to this shit 😂😂😂😂😂
If you watched the Chelsea vs Sunderland first half closely, you would have noticed a few things:
1. Xabi Alonso isn't as tactically sharp as the likes of Arteta and Maresca.
2. Chelsea have one of the worst defences in the league, only Leeds United look worse.
3. Chelsea are yet to find a proper replacement for Enzo Fernandez, and their midfield has been paying the price.
