I don't think any City fan on here would honestly disagree with that.He was provoked big time, but should have risen above it.
The referee didn't help by being so weak and inept most of the game, but he had no option but to send Sergio off.
City really need to sort their defence out, we are leaking far too many easy goals, but to be fair, Chelsea have a very strong side and deserved to win.

This aside, Pedro was lightening fast yesterday and I was happy to see him taken off.

It seems that Bravo, for all his other qualities is not a patch on Joe in one to ones or shot stopping. I don't know what the answer is, hopefully Pep will.
You won't win the league with Clownio in goal. Look at where Willian's shot crosses the line, it's closer to the middle of the goal than the far corner. I used to play in goal and it's just basics. You need to cover the near post, as that's the closest area of the target to the attacker and you want him to have to choose the trickier option, the far corner. If you cover the near corner, you can't do much against a well placed shot across you, in at the far post. But it's not easy for the attacker to execute.Bravo goes far too far to his left, over covering his near post, leaving Willian a much easier job. Willian didn't need to go for the far post, just the far half of the goal. I could see that from the top tier of the away end before he even took the shot. Utter rubbish goalkeeping. He gifted that to Willian on a plate.
Sergio's ban is four games. Result!
It gives a more than capable Kelechi a run of games in four which includes Hull, Leicester and Watford with only Arsenal at home being a bit tricky (that will come back to haunt me.
).
It also gives Sergio a good rest just in time for him to pull his tripe out in the Liverpool game in an effort to keep Jesus out of the team come January.
Every cloud and all that.

SA - banned for 4 matches
I know there's no other workable alternative, but it grates a little. We got no advantage from Aguero being sent off, as it was last kick of the game and we'd won the match anyway. Arsenal will get an advantage. And that could work against us come the end of the season.Oh well, such is life.

Well I suppose you have, him being out of 4 games is an advantage to you, LFC, Arsenal going for the title Oh well, such is life.
Just back from the game and we were awful. We were sat at pitch level just to the side of Bravos goal and he was s
t. Bring back Joe.
If you see a very wet, pissed off bloke, covered in plastic and in a wheelchair on MOD then that's me
We had all the skill but that counts for nothing if you can't score. It was like we were waiting for the perfect move but in those conditions you have to take chances and we didn't.
Off to drown my sorrows
On a side note, I have to say that the Leicester stewards really looked after me and made sure everything was OK for me.
Full marks for them.
