By Harry BamforthI said we would get to it, and we are doing so straight away. There is a huge debate in my work group chat over whether Bernardo Silva should have been sent off in that first half. He punched Nathan Collins in the leg while on the floor after losing a tussle to him by the byline.
Silva got a yellow card for the little lash out, but there are many who believe that he should have been given a red. Had he kicked out with his boot, I think it would have been different, but it was barely even a punch, so personally I think a yellow was fair. What are your thoughts? 17:18HALF-TIME: Man City 0-0 Brentford By Harry BamforthHUGE boos at the break, wow.
They clearly aren't for the players, though, but rather the officials . In fact, some would argue that Manchester City are lucky that the referee didn't send off Bernardo Silva, but we will get to that. Anyway, City have been dominant but it's all square. 17:17'Pep vs fourth official'By Jack Gaughan At The EtihadPep vs the fourth officials continues.
This time Robert Jones cops for it, with both men passively aggressively holding each other as they debate Michael Salisbury’s refereeing.17:16TWO added minutesBy Harry BamforthManchester City have two minutes to try and find a goal before the break. But it just ain't happening, and as I type that, Matheus Nunes gives away a foul.
The crowd goes crazy in frustration and then sings 'you're not fit to referee'. 17:15, 44'Man City 0-0 Brentford By Harry BamforthJust seen the stats, and wow. Manchester City have had 13 shots to Brentford's one; this is pure and utter domination. But the score is 0-0, and I guess that is all that matters right now. 17:12, 41'Man City 0-0 Brentford By Harry BamforthJeremy Doku literally can't do any more.
He has this Brentford back line on strings, and yet again pulls the ball back that is begging to be hit home. But nobody is finishing off his lay-ups, and the case is the same here as Brentford clear. 17:10, 39'Man City 0-0 Brentford By Harry BamforthThat just about sums up Manchester City's luck in this game. Rayan Cherki sends a beautifully bending free-kick toward the corner, and it's blocked by his own player, Erling Haaland.
It just won't happen for the hosts at the moment. 17:07, 36'YELLOW CARD: Man City 0-0 Brentford By Harry BamforthOh, wait... now things are kicking off between teh two sets of players after the resulting corner. Guess who is involved? Bernardo Silva, of course, and he has picked up a yellow.
He lashes out at Nathan Collins for no reason. 17:05'Doku has matched Semenyo's quality'By Ian Ladyman At The EtihadI have so impressed with Jeremy Doku in the second half of this season. He has seen the quality that Antoine Semenyo has brought to the opposite flank since his arrival in January and decided to match it. He won City a point at Everton on Monday and has been on his game once again here today.
His first thought when he receives the ball is about beating his marker and it’s hard not to love that. 17:04, 34'Man City 0-0 Brentford By Harry BamforthThe Manchester City fans need to chill. They are booing Keane Lewis-Potter, thinking he is time-wasting, but I implore them to watch a replay of that incident when they can. The poor lad to Caoimhin Kelleher's knee to his head... not great. Somehow, he is up and can continue.
Miracle. 17:03, 32'Man City 0-0 Brentford By Harry BamforthIf Brentford can get to half-time level, that would be one hell of an achievement. They are being absolutely peppered by this Manchester City side; I am at a loss as to how they haven't conceded yet.
Meanwhile, Keane Lewis-Potter is down after a collision with his own goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. The break in play means a bit of respite for the Bees. 17:01'Kayode hasn't got a prayer'By Jack Gaughan At The EtihadJeremy Doku has gone up several levels in terms of his output over the last few months. Poor Michael Kayode hasn’t got a prayer on Brentford’s right. Key UpdatesTOP STORIES
