Are we a Dirty Team?

The difference you see between the likes of the prem and say, the championship, is that good PL players know when the best option is to commit a foul and take a card rather than allow a dangerous attack.

Man City turned this into an art form and it's important to emulate the best teams in the country, even if it's how they shithouse.

there is intelligent dirty, and unintelligent dirty.

recently we have been unintelligent dirty.

there are teams much more dirty than us who dont pick up half as many yellow cards, we need a bit more of that, we cant keep picking up yellow cards like confetti, we need to be more intelligent about it.

Its a pertinent point....we have to learn the stealthy way, and be more cute with the shithousery.

we pick up yellows for smiling at the ref.

Man City get the foul in quickly and early if their own attack breaks down. It prevents counter attacks and you're far less likely to pick up a yellow for a niggling foul on the edge of the opposition's box than you are anywhere else on the pitch. We need to adopt this

Except the fact we are 2nd bottom of the fair play league table

Hard to remember all the yellows and reds to be honest but I wouldn't class us as a dirty side. These days yellows and reds are handed out like confetti.

If you are a bit clumsy, that can attract yellows.....more clumsy than dirty, imo.
