Please read our Please read ourFor various reasons I couldn’t stay out on Saturday after the match, so when I got home, I started looking round at the various reports on Newcastle 1 Manchester City 1, including this one below from Sky Sports.Obviously interested to hear and read the various ‘independent’ takes on the match.I have to say, this is absolutely shameful, the reporting from the Sky Sports ‘Senior Football Journalist’ on Saturday’s match.
There was actually a very controversial penalty decision at St James’ Park yesterday BUT the Sky Sports journalist decides not worth mentioning. At 1-1, Walker looks clearly to bring down Joelinton, making contact with the Newcastle player instead of the ball, just as the Brazilian is preparing to shoot from around eight yards out. Arguably, this looked even more of a penalty than the Gordon one. Yet somehow the referee on the pitch not giving it and VAR not intervening.
‘There was concern during that first half that City would lose Haaland to injury after the striker was caught on the ankle by the studs of Dan Burn but he was able to continue despite a nasty cut. Injury-hit City – who only had eight players on their bench, including two goalkeepers – could ill afford to lose their front man too.’
I can only think anyway that Pep Guardiola was doing this for some kind of dramatic effect, as he made nine changes on Tuesday as Man City dominated Watford and progressed in the Carabao Cup. For the Sky Sports journalist to make out that Manchester City were somehow at a disadvantage with their subs bench is hilarious.
