Fouling them really isn’t the answer

We get yellows or maybe a red that impact on games we can realistically get points from- plus we are actually better than that.
I don’t want to become another Burnley, despite the plaudits Dyche gets for coaching that way.
We’ll be fitter and better organised soon and the COVID issues will have passed.
City have an established squad with £100m additions ffs
