richyy66 Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Not sure if his booking counts for the league games. That's 10 bookings for the season so not so sure whether he will be available for Saturday. Big blow if not for a stupid booking late in the game.

Yellow cards are fine. That's why Pring missed the WBA match - he got booked in both the Swansea matches. Fair play to Silva though. I expected him to throw himself to the floor clutching his face when Williams pushed him in the chest. As he didn't it just ended in handbags really. Thought both managers were right to take them both out of the game at that point though. Would've been a real blow to have seen a red card in the match, although arguably Foden could easily have seen red. He only set out to scythe Sykes(?) down - there was no intention to win the ball, he was just angry and the red mist descended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams gave him a sly kick off the ball and he reacted by pushing him in the chest. De Bruyne got involved to try & get Williams sent off & there was some verbals flying about as a result. He’s not suspended for Cardiff (I’m sure you knew this) as has been explained countless times 2 yellows in the cup is a one match ban in that competition only & doesn’t count towards league bookings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with Man City internationals reading the game, positioning themselves better and thus being able to cut out passes that would be good at Championship level? Joe is just a bad player?

Watch it back on TV. No kick by Silva. Man City were building up play, Williams went towards Silva and just pushed him to the floor out of the way. Really funny tbh. Silva got up looking stunned, reacted, and pushed Williams in the back. Williams just doing some shithousery and winding them up Edited March 1, 2023 by spudski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how people see games differently, I thought he got himself all over the pitch last night, harrying, sticking his foot in and breaking play up, I'll give you that he's not the best passer of the ball, but that's not really his job, that's more the James / Scott role. I think he's been very effective in the past few games that he's played alongside James, collectively they make a good partnership, allowing Scott to concentrate on his thing.. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree thought Williams had a very good game, he really is starting to look like the player we thought we signed. First half he started a few good moves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Some people made their minds up on Williams months ago and now can't backtrack.

BLRed Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Passing ability, or lack thereof, is what really is holding Williams back from being a top rated championship midfielder. It’s frustrating but I’ve accepted his role is different to that of James etc. I think as soon as Naismith is back fit, we will see Williams back to the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought over the pitch, breaking up and linking play he was good, his choice of and delivery of longer passes was , at times , poor. But TBF, always sowing for the ball, always in their faces and keeping play moving. 6 minutes ago, 2015 said: We missed Naismith last night Agree. I think this shows up more with Kalas in for Atkinson. Kalas is an old school defender, win it give it. He does not tend to get involved with build up , so where Atkinson might bring the ball out and can find a pass, Kalas wants to lay it off for someone else to do. I think with Naismith back we would be able to add that longer pass to involve Mehmeti and Skyes earlier . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalas for me looked like the one player in our side who is a lot more used to playing against players of Man City's calibre. Had a great game last night. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
