In fact every time I see Man City
play there are a few hefty challenges. No problem with these tackles going in, but let's have a bit of balance in how they are dealt with. Bennett was made out to be a mass murderer whereas the others seem to be ignored.


Their possession stats are awesome though- so it's OK
Again, you seem to struggle with the notion that each challenge should be discussed in isolation. Just because KDB put in a "bad" challenge in a game, it doesn't mean that Bennett's professional foul was any better. Also, because Sane made a quick return to fitness, it doesn't mean that Bennett's professional foul is suddenly less bad.

It was a bad challenge. Every team makes them, every team receives them - most fans acknowledge when their player made a bad challenge, a few will defend them regardless as a display of loyalty.
