That’s your lot, folks. Thanks for reading this MBM. Remember to check Richard Jolly’s match report.
Frank talking ... no, scrub that, Frank fuming. “First half was immense. On general play, we deserved at least a draw. Every player, for their application, I’m very proud. Fans don’t clap you off after a defeat when you don’t play like that, and they did, and the lads deserve that. We’re a bit hurting because we deserved it for performance, and for a huge decision. I wanted to know if it was offside in the build-up. It wasn’t. I’ve been told that [by the referee] clear, it’s not offside against Richarlison in the build-up. So then you isolate the penalty. The referee says he was on the other side of it. Fine, I get that. So go to VAR, who have two minutes to look at it. To think that Chris Kavanagh has not given that penalty, that strikes him on the arm, midway, strikes him when his arm’s not in a natural position, I’ve got a three-year old daughter at home who could tell you that’s a penalty. I don’t mean to make light of it, because we’re in a position where we’re fighting at the bottom of the table, and Manchester City are fighting to win leagues. Everything’s crucial, and when you have a system to have a view on a penalty that’s the easiest decision to give a handball ... I don’t know what has to happen as a reflection of that. You’ve got two minutes to digest the handball. It’s incompetence at best, and if it’s not that, someone needs to explain to me what it is.”
