PBP: Tyler Adams all matches

See, the trick is to keep your most essential players injured as much as possible, that way no one ever tries to buy them up. This is why Iraola is a genius /s

 

David Brooks on for Kluivert was close to what I was gonna suggest (which was: get Ryan Christie into some type of hyperbaric chamber so that he's healthy and can come on for Kluivert). They just need someone else in the midfield to sure up their numbers.

 

DRAMA: in the 66', City is given a DOSGO red card. Kovacic pulled back Evanilson after he skipped away from him at midfield.

edit: VAR can't find any reason to ask the ref to take a look. IMO, good red card

 

KdB is sacrificed for an extra defender, and leaves the pitch to a standing ovation.

Hate City as a concept, but I also find it hard to hate players like him. He's always been fun to watch under Pep.

 

Drama gone. Lewis Cook is called for a direct red. Cook left his feet to make the tackle and got to the ball first, but went over the ball and sent his studs in a City player. Harsh in real-time, but fair on the replay. We're at 10v10

 

i feel like 10 v 10 is some of the most boring soccer you can watch. No sense of tactical setup, everyone's tired because there's more space to cover, it becomes almost impossible to create numerical advantages anywhere on the pitch.

 

city make it 3-0 while I'm writing an e-mail. Replay doesn't show much involvement by TA.

 

gonna pitch a script to Hollywood that's basically "The Substance" but instead of an aging actor being replaced by a younger starlet in Hollywood, it's a 25 year old wunderkind being replaced by a 21 year old wunderkind at one of the super clubs like City.

 

Bournemouth claw one back, with roughly 2' left in added time

 

game ends 3-1. City back in the CL. Cherries down to 11th.
