Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is right, Manchester City do use tactical fouls and Fernandinho is the main culprit
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is right, Manchester City do use tactical fouls
* City midfielder Fernandinho is particularly guilty of making cynical fouls
* Manchester derbies are easier to referee than Liverpool vs Manchester United
It has not taken long for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to start employing his old manager’s mind games.
Sir Alex Ferguson was the master at using the media to get a message out — be that to the opposition or referees.
I have seen Solskjaer’s comments about City using tactical fouls to disrupt play when they lose possession, and he has a point. They break at such speed and are so expansive that they are left exposed when they lose the ball.
City midfielder Fernandinho, in particular, is guilty of these cynical fouls. But then so are all teams in certain situations. Look at United — Nemanja Matic is similar to Fernandinho in that he breaks up play through whatever means he can, that’s his job.
As a referee you are aware of this but you will ignore the pre-match comments, they have no bearing on how you handle the game.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is correct - Manchester City do use tactical fouls when they lose the ball. City midfielder Fernandinho is often guilty of using cynical fouls to break up play
As for Manchester derbies, I always found them easier to referee than a Liverpool v United fixture, which has a more intense hatred to it.
There was more respect during United v City. The atmosphere at Old Trafford is often a little subdued as well, and I found that helped me to keep control.

Fernandinho ini ibaratnya Keano-nya City. habis Keano, Carrick kayaknya blom ada sosok yg bisa menggantikan peran mereka IMO
