His displeasure at the unnecessary abortion of Rodri, in the victory (2-0) of Manchester City against Nottingham Forest, expressed Pep Guardiola after the end of the match.
The Spanish midfielder briefly touched Morgan Gibbs-White’s neck in the first minute of the second half, with referee Anthony Taylor showing him a straight red card.
The Catalan coach was asked about this unnecessary action of the player in his press conference.
“He let us down. I don’t like playing with ten players because of our own mistakes“, he said characteristically.
“I hope he learns from this. At half-time I told the boys to be careful, but Rhodri couldn’t be. But he apologized to the rest of the team“, concluded the coach of the English and European champions.
The 27-year-old will miss City’s next three home games against Newcastle, Wolves and Arsenal.
Rodri deserves a red but so does Foden. Look at the video. Gibbs doesn’t go down from the chest bump but from Foden finger punching him in the throat. Where is Foden’s red card as well? #Rodri #city #Foden #RedCard #NottinghamForest #mancity #MCINFO pic.twitter.com/iuT5aa93tt

?? “You sound angry with Rodri?”
Pep was definitely questioning his star man after that red card.
